I had a wonderful time at the Mount of Oaks. I was here for a month, had I known how good it would be I would have asked the doctors to prescribe this as proper medicine!

...My time at the Mount of Oaks was truly special. No two days were the same, and what I got out of it is was a reflection of what I put in.
During my time I learnt about and practiced permaculture, sustainability and living in community.

These were not new concepts to me, but offered a real example of how they can be achieved in the most simplest of ways. Whilst I might not be able to replicate these teachings in their exact form in my own life, the core principles of simply living have become a part of my everyday ritual.

I would throughly recommend a visit, or a read of the blog to gain further understanding of the mission of the community. I look forward to one day returning to the land...

I really was looking forward to be at the soap-making workshop! And it became a wonderful afternoon!

First an introduction of the soap ”masters” Eric and Marcia….I learned a lot new items about soap…. that was really surprising to me….

And Marcia and Eric are a fantastic “team”….. their knowledge, their interaction, their patience…..
I just loved to BE in the atmosphere they were creating!
Eric’s grandmother created a delicious cake….
And we…. :) we created very nice soaps….. with all the attributes available…. (and that was quite a lot!)
A cosy afternoon with a lot of joy and learning!
Thanks to everybody attending this workshop!
And many thanks for MoO-team Marcia and Eric!
