Our story

Not a retreat. A prototype.

We are not just building homes or planting gardens — we are creating a whole new way of living.

This project began as a deep yearning to create a place where children can grow freely, where nature is teacher, healer and compass. A place where choices are made not for convenience, but in service of life — human, wild, and still to come.

At the heart of the village is the belief that the future begins now: in how we live, love, raise our children and tend the land. This is a living vision, shaped by the seasons, the people, and the deep longing for a life that feels real.

Naturheim is not ours to own. It belongs to the Earth, to the children, and to the future we are all responsible for. We are not building a perfect village — but we are building toward something: a living environment where generations can root, where school isn't confined to four walls but expands into meadows, forests and community.

What we aim to create

The commitments underneath the plan

Circular economy and reuse

A system where nothing is wasted, where old becomes new, and where resources move meaningfully — guided by responsibility, not profit.

Community collaboration and public good

This village is not a retreat. We collaborate with schools, municipalities, researchers and organisations to inspire a new way of living rooted in mutual benefit.

Children at the centre

A school rooted in nature, creativity and emotional intelligence, where children are seen, respected and guided by present, healthy adults.

Courses and gatherings

From permaculture and breathwork to parenting circles and harvest markets — experiences that nourish inner and outer growth.

Join the collective

We are always looking for skilled, committed people — builders, growers, educators, carers and organisers — who want to help bring the village into being.
