Welcome to
The Garden

The Garden is a world-leading societal model for the healthy, synergic, sovereign life the human heart and psyche ache for, and the planet thrives on. It's home.
The Garden is a not-for-profit eco-village that offers much-needed services, birthed from the impassioned collaboration of 120 (and growing) skilled and loving volunteer therapists, eco-builders and other healing hands.
It features:
A multidisciplinary wholistic health centre the ill can access for free
Rescue animal sanctuary
Garden-to-plate organic vegan kitchen, and
Bookable natural spa, music and healing festivals, event spaces, courses, talks and therapist sessions,
the proceeds from which will sustain The Garden's existence.
Or rather, The Garden will have these features, as we are currently fundraising for the buildings.

The Garden is a societal model for those with enough clarity to see that the current standard lifestyle-design is disastrously unnatural, coercive and unsatisfying; enough dynamism to do something about it; and enough love to want 'others' to benefit too.
To those who value love, nature, connection, freedom, progress, self-expansion and rediscovery of the divine sovereign self enough to pursue it, we very happily introduce The Garden.
As far as we know, the world's first not-for-profit off-grid cooperative permacultural community focussing on wholistic healthcare, for free, for all species.
Meet the team here, get involved, or find out how you can visit The Garden and benefit from our services.

Those of us who remember at least glimpses of who we are, know instinctively that a great rebalancing is essential to our shared success as a guest species on this strange and wonderful Earth. This will be achieved and enjoyed through collaboration, compassion, and engagement with practices and life-systems which reconnect us to our own true nature and to our living home planet and all we share it with.

The Garden comprises 120 (and growing) volunteer staff and collaborators, including world-class and kind-hearted healers, eco-builders, permacultural consultants, veterinarians and social entrepreneurs. We have secured enough donations from like-minded generous souls who recognise the world's need for The Garden, to hopefully secure land purchase this year, 2021.
Now we need help to fund the buildings and infrastructure. That's the staff, patient and visitor eco-accommodation, food forest, sustainable power systems, covered healing areas, natural spa, animal enclosure, kitchen and other features.

We have planned the layout and features like this

When values and focus are shared and are good,
An odd thing occurs that perhaps always should:
A Magick will grow when friends build together -
We create the world, we make our own weather.
Sometimes we're fooled into thinking we're small,
Forgetting our choice and our power and all.
But when we link hands and we rise up in love,
We feel reconnection to things high above.
In joining our forces, we recall the feeling
Of All being One, and everything healing.
A positive feedback loop if you will.
Then whatever you do, you're on top of the hill.
