In tribodar the working week is being planned on Saturdays. Sunday and Monday are eco-building days, followed by garden-work days. In the field of eco-building, Moabi and Gennaro told us which are the current projects and each of us could choose an activity.

I was part of the bamboo cane-team, as I was curious how the bamboo grows, how you cut it without damaging the plant and how you prepare it for use in constructions. The picture shows the ...

Today was the perfect day for arriving, as friday (or free day in tribodar language) is healing day here. The morning started with yoga, followed by a delicious breakfast. At 12 we had a cacao ceremony that stefan offered, with raw cacao from guatemala. It was a very heart-opening ritual, after which some people started a massage circle and others dancing in the sun.

There are natural hot water springs, whose temperature has between 20 and 32 degrees, so actually it's perfect to be ...

My father always had a nice garden and over the years it grew bigger and bigger, all around the house. The neighbors actually gave their land to him to expand his kingdom of eadible goods and beauty. Since i know him he is always cooking marmelades, hot sauce, ...
