Permaculture Master
If you are into permaculture, then I really encourage you to spend some time with Peppi at zee barn. Getting to know and spend time with Peppi equipped me with the right attitude, motivation and hope of making my forest garden dream to become a reality. Thanks to the community he is creating the learning and growth opportunities remain availble even when you are thousand of kilometres away from zee barn. I am very thankful for all the knowledge he is sharing, and Peppi is a great inspiration through the very humble approach he shares his vast knwoeldge.

A THERAPEUTICAL EXPERIENCE
3nights and 4 days, it was a enriching and transformative experience. In fact, i took part in this retreat more, to find out, what the permaculture was all about. All I felt was a calm and vibrating atmosphere in a green and peaceful environement. I had almost instant sleep during the 3 nights(i used to take around 2hours to enter in the sleep mode).The space promises a great green and jungly environement in the near future. Peppi knows the job.
During the yoga and meditation sessions, my body released lot´s of pain and heat. In one of the meditating session my forehead between the eyebrows was boiling and many more micro unpleasant symptoms, that i cannot put in words, were released.
About vegan/macrobiotic food, very exotic to my taste, solved the acidic condition of my stomach. Many varieties of food on the table and in every meal there was always one delicious dish prepared by Melania.
During the meals, we had interesting conversations on mental and spiritual topics.
Overall, this out of the box experience proved to be very therapeutic for me. I experienced here, what is going to be my future dream.
