About us
Our main building, Abrazo House, is a two-story house with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a library, and a large main room with an open-plan kitchen. The house sleeps up to 13 people. It is available for rent as part of residential courses, workshops, retreats, etc., which fit our philosophy of holistic learning, for €15 per guest (min. €120) per night. The kitchen & downstairs bathroom can also be used as part of non-residential learning activities; suggested donation €5 per person. Our cob/straw bale hybrid house was built during 2008–12 with the help of hundreds of volunteers. The crescent shape of the floor plan creates a sheltered patio to the south, a form which gives the building its name — Abrazo (“embrace” in Spanish) House. Most of the wood in the house is recycled, including the main beams which came from a 100-year-old demolished building. The house uses passive solar design, with large areas of south-facing double-glazed windows; our hot water comes from solar panels, too. Winter heating comes from a wood stove that burns logs harvested from our land.
