...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 will forever look at my time at the Mount of Oaks with found memories. Weeks spent on the land gave me such happiness. I felt I belonged.

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.
