Yogic philosophy and practice create the environment here at Shanti Projects. The practice of asanas, pranayama, meditation, nonviolence, honesty, acceptance, selfless service, and many other aspects of yoga create a very healthy, bright, and positive atmosphere for everyone here.
Shanti project eliminates the usage of chemical elements in construction, farming, and other spheres of your life. They will use only natural compost in the garden so the vegetables and fruits that are grown are absolutely organic and eco-friendly. Please do not leave any garbage behind you. Everything is recycled by Shanti Dom or by special organizations.
Planting our permaculture food forest is a great contribution to the Earth's environment. We take care of the surrounding flora and fauna, cleans the nearest forests and rivers, construct bridges, builds houses for the birds, etc.
You will eat only vegan food. Some vegetables and fruits are grown in the garden and the rest is got from local organic farms. The retreat will practice this diet for many reasons but especially because Shanti Dom does not believe in violence. Since you will not eat any type of meat, there is always other protein (beans, nuts, dairy, etc.) in your daily ration.
We are always happy to welcome volunteers ready to help you to create this small and bright island of harmony and happiness. They do not use any paid work in the project (except for a few things they cannot physically make without professionals), so any type of help is both needed and highly appreciated. Profit made by the project goes towards its further development. The progress is attained thanks to enthusiasts from all over the world.
There are several small villages around you and each of them has many elderly people who live alone and are happy to receive any help from you. You will look after their animals, work in their gardens, and help clean their houses. They thank you with fresh cow milk, honey, and precious gratitude.
Eco-farming includes planting a food forest, picking vegetables and fruits, compost making, and everything needed for the organic farm.
You will be making flowerbeds, garden paths, etc, taking care of the environment, cleaning forests and marshland, and collecting garbage from outside.
You will be helping lonely old villagers to take care of their gardens, animals, and homes. You will conduct educational projects for the villagers. You will teach them English, give lectures on eco-farming, building, etc.
Every Sunday, Shanti Dom is happy to propose different trips around the area. Visiting ethnic or yogic festivals, joining local eco-villages, etc.
