We are building a comprehensive learning and living centre in the heart of South Africa!
Through practical and academic experience in the social and agricultural life in South Africa over the past 30 years, it is clear that society at large needs a viable, living example of a conscious, regenerative and sustainable community in this particular environment.
On this land in the foothills of the Witteberge and Maluti mountains in the Eastern Free State the project is three-and-a half years into becoming an example of restorative practices, community-building and mentorship. In the years to come it will serve as an example of how, as a modern, conscious society, living in community hubs, one can work and live most comfortably with the least impact on the environment.
Our inspiration for this endeavour has come through the careful study of laws of the biosphere, which over aeons has solved the most complicated problems of cooperative, interdependent life systems in this universe.
The whole property is designed according to Permaculture principles and developed along these lines.
The Rosendal Permaculture Institute is also a place of learning for people of all ages and backgrounds. Courses are run throughout the year and people are taught the various aspects of the principles of permaculture, which include, amongst others, regenerative agriculture practices, sustainable building practices, circular/ bio-regional economy.
Upon purchase of the farm, it will be placed into a land trust, so that it can never be used for anything other than the intention of the founding members.
