Be Here<\/h2>\n

For those who are called to group consciousness work, this program invites you to stay in the Heartland campground site in Abruzzo, for an extended period of time. It is dedicated as a research platform into the development of new models of society, the study of awareness, working on minimalist farming approaches and creating sustainable structures. This project is a way to use the power of this place to support the enhancement of awareness alongside revitalising a rural community, and repopulating abandoned plots of land, to reconstruct the ruined houses of stones into small cosy homes where the people who have been called to return to nature live in harmony with the wildlife that has taken over the land.<\/p>\n

The Heartland site is built on 12 hectares of pristine land and it was chosen because the land here enjoys no discontinuity \u2013 it has never been modernised again. The closest neighbours are over a kilometre away. The abandoned smallholding that has been left 45 years ago is now coming back to life, the olive trees are in leaf, the cherries are fruiting again, and the old wells of limestone are full of clear water, but much has been untouched.<\/p>\n

As the site has been allowed to stay wild \u00a0and much of it is forested, there are several spots where nature is totally undisturbed. As part of the Be Here program, we offer you a yurt to live in on one of those spots or you can build your own tent or other structure: under the trees, sheltered from the sun in summer and from the big winds in winter. \"IMG_3645\"

The program is in place to allow us and you to focus on energizing the Heartland \u00a0Centre alongside finding progressive solutions for the economic and social climate of Southern Europe, where so much of the rural population is leaving the country side because the small scale farming they knew is no longer viable. This is even more true in the mountains of Italy, where farming was always harder \u2013 we aim to focus on new farming methods, minimalist approach to sustainable tourism, creating models of society that work, focusing on inner work and balance.<\/p>\n
