"I did really enjoy my time at the Mount of Oaks!
Emma, Barbara, Marcia and Eric are very lovely, open-minded and sincere people who gave me a warm welcome and made sure I was comfortable. The place itself has a very special atmosphere - very peaceful, quiet, and so amazingly beautiful! I really felt that everything created there is made with love and with an eye for detail. Whether its the compost toilet house with integrated library, the vegetable garden or the yoga- and meditation area. If you are looking for a place to live in nature for a while, find back to your inner peace, relax and in the same time learn lots of new and interesting things about gardening, plants and/or constructing, this is the place to go for you! "

Forever I will remember my time at the Mount of Oaks with the foundest memories. Weeks spent on the land gave me such happiness. There was a real sense of belonging.

For me, the project itself is so diverse and inspiring. I feel the place incorporates the whole ethics of permaculture in a practical way.

While volunteering, I helped out on the land and met amazing people. I laughed whole heartedly, shared food and stories and by chance met people I now call friend.

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!
