From the idea of having an ecological wine farm in the “Provence” to a complete Ecovillage Conception in the Greek Mountains was a pretty fast and sudden decision in the End of 2021, followed by an immediate action and implementation plan. For me as the founder of the farm and village concept, it is more than about time to change - first of all my personal way of understanding of a life in different aspects. What better place to start such kind of project than Greece, the cradle of Philosophie, Democracy and Humanitarian disciplines…
Since the End of 2021, I have been following my inner voice and my personal interests only. Transferring Family, Friend, Natural Living and Music in a holistic conception. We will produce our own energy, do have our own water and produce agricultural goods in a natural way, taking care of the soil of this planet, the biological balance, the behavior towards the nature and the creatures. Meanwhile having the first shareholders. members and residents, we are on the path growing to a small “village” with residents having similar understandings and interests. In addition, we do see the Hortus Cyrenaicus as a center of plurality, art, cultures, creativity, where people can escape the pressures of their daily life finding their own peace and freedom and feeling the meaning of life, filling up with new energy, being / discovering themselves.
The Cyrenaics received a kind of negative image due to the interpretation of their values and philosophical approaches of enjoying life. Interesting is the way of interpreting such kind of characteristics over a time span of more than 2200 years without appropriate proof, as there is barely information about the Cyrenaics and its founder Aristippos of Cyrene.
...We will now give the actual philosophical ideas a second chance to make a better stand…
“Hortus Cyrenaicus” – A garden of a happy life… a place to enjoy life with family and friends in a clean and sustainable nature.
Living in harmony and symbiosis with the nature and respect the nature. We love open and creative thinking but also applying conceptions, when they are mature. We accept the freedom of thinking and opinion avoiding being disrespectful to others.
Regarding the autarky, the Hortus has its own water resources and produces its own electricity (hopefully soon when having the permits together). In the current condition, we do have about 5 ha of land, half of it is already covered with fruit trees, but there is plenty of land for additional farming projects. Interested individuals and/or families who may like to join us or stay for a while as our guests.
There is a Hortus Cyrenaicus “Base Camp” in the village Petrokerasa, where we did establish the current office, where we do live until the first wood houses are build and where we do have rooms for guests and visitors.
In Kyrgyzstan at the Issyk-kul Lake, a family has produced five Yourts for the Hortus. These arrived already and shall be ready to use by Spring 2023.
We do currently build four wood house constructions and a music studio with an own stage for art and cultural events, workshops and trainings. These constructions shall be ready also by Spring 2023 and we hope to have the first event before the Summer 2023...
Interested people – creative or less creative people – gardeners, Eco farmers, etc. can come and may find their own relaxing and enjoyment or join us and having a look to what we are doing. There are several areas where we would be happy of having support and cooperation.
Take your choice - join for a ride...
