Rooted in a shared passion for sustainability, healing, and mindful living, our permaculture farm stay was born from two paths that crossed at just the right time.

David, a German-born carpenter, discovered his love for natural building techniques through bamboo, earthbag, and dome structures. Inspired by the dream of living in harmony with nature, David has studied and practiced off-grid, low-tech living and permaculture across Europe. His journey led him to seek a space where architecture meets ecology and function meets beauty.

Helanie, a nurse and meditation guide, left Germany in search of peace and purpose. Her path led her from Buddhist monastic life in Myanmar to environmental work in Cebu, where she supported youth groups and built her first native-style home. Along the way, she became a certified meditation teacher and relationship facilitator.

David and Helanie met in Thailand, where they both trained as certified permaculture designers at the Sahainan Permaculture Learning Center. There, they deepened their skills through hands-on learning and a shared vision: to create a sustainable sanctuary rooted in community, wellness, and regenerative living.

Together, they’ve cultivated this space not just as a farm stay, but as a living, breathing example of what it means to live in harmony with the land—and each other.
