What we do

Quinta Esencia is an ecoliteracy center located in a natural environment within the province of Buenos Aires. Our mission is to inspire the co-creation of new regenerative cultures for a thriving and healthy future for human and planetary life as a whole. We do it throught holistic learning experiences, addressing the human relationship with the environment, connecting the theoretical and practical dimension of Regeneration.
We are a team of environmental educators & permacultures. We train change-makers capable of think, feel and act following the laws and principles of nature to regenerate life in all its dimensions. Our buildings are bioclimatic and use renewable energies. We produce agro-ecological food, and thanks to the biomimetic principles in the permacultural design of the 30 hectares, every time the sun rises, it rains or the wind blows, all the systems are activated to the rhythm of nature.
We invite you to join us for “The Regenerative Experience”: we have brought together everything we know into this comprehensive program to help you embark on your own dream projects and pollinate everywhere with what you have learned and experienced with us. Our activities involve the “head, heart and hands” philosophy, which entails reflecting on new knowledge, opening up all your senses and getting your hands dirty. You can choose to participate in green building, vegetable gardening, agroforestry, beekeeping or greenhouse keeping, always based on the premise of learning by doing. We will also seek to share artistic and recreational moments involving music, singing, painting or writing.
We are part of Amartya, an NGO with more than 18 years of experience in Environmental Education. Since 2016 we develop PlanMar, a public policy that mutually benefits people and the ecosystem, favouring a systemic process of regeneration, in articulation with the local community, schools, organisations, political and economic actors.
