Regenerative weekends

Next weekend: Oct 17-19, 2025

We manage an abandoned vineyard that includes over 1000 Life Terra trees as part of an evolving agroforestry design. On select weekends, we invite you to the land to learn, work, recharge and make new like-minded friends.

80€ with meals included

OCTOBER 11TH – LAST DAY TO APPLY!

Transport and accommodation may have additional costs. Family pricing available.

WHO IS IT FOR?

For anyone…
New to permaculture
With some experience or
With lots of experience!

We believe in learning by doing. We also believe that permaculture people (like us!) enjoy spending time with other permaculture people outdoors. A Regenerative Weekend is a wonderful opportunity to experience permaculture principles in action from the very beginning of your journey. For those with lots of experience, it’s a great opportunity to see how we do things on our project, compare and contrast with previous experiences and your own knowledge, all while making new contacts and enjoying fun and food in nature.

Your own vehicle: To approximate the location of Boodaville, look up directions to Caseres, Catalunya.

During the registration process you can volunteer to transport other participants looking for a ride and ask them to split the cost of petrol.

Carpool with another participant: If during the registration process we find a participant with extra space in their car and it will be convenient for them to drive you, we will connect you so you can organize the details. They will likely ask you to split the cost of petrol.

Hife bus, 5€ each way: We will organize your bus tickets for you so you get a discounted price, then we add this cost to your total payment for the weekend.
