...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...

still remember the first time I arrived at the little train station in the middle of nowhere, and the dogs welcomed me so warmly that I felt like I was a friend instantly.

Since then I love coming back, being welcomed by Emma, Barbara, Eric, Marcia and little Samuel. The Mount of Oaks for me is the lovely people and animals, good conversations, tranquility, beautiful nature, delicious food and learning new things (especially about natural building)
5 star experience, well actually a 5 heart experience!!!
Dankeschon!
Muito obrigada

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!
