For nearly three years, the Ashram has been engaged in the adventure of permaculture. We have dedicated a whole area of the Ashram to this project. First of all, we worked out a plan with a specialist to develop a food forest: to cultivate species of fruit, flowers and vegetables, some of which are not well known but which are adapted to our climate and rich in nutrients.

Alongside this project, we have installed a large greenhouse in which we grow traditional, fully organic vegetables, fruit and herbs. We have set up a whole area of market gardening behind our temple. The vegetables benefit from all the good vibrations of the mantras and pujas that take place in the temple every day. We also grow flowers for the temple ceremonies. We have installed a pond to bring in biodiversity.

The project developed rapidly, to the delight of all those who came to stay at the ashram.
