What we do

We are Stanislav and Diana, a family with three kids ages 1, 5 and 7 and we are hoping to finding like-minded people to join us in co-creating a community of environmentally conscious people who walk gently on Earth and take ownership of our lives, health, education and the planet’s well-being, who have fun together, who share food, work, learning, resources and life’s bounties to the level each one feels appropriate. Since we set up this project, a couple of families have joined us and are in the process of acquiring their own places.
We are based in Bulgaria, an hour South-West of the capital Sofia, in a neighborhood of a village with a lot of abandoned houses, suitable to form a community within the same physical area. We are ready to help out with all legalities connected to purchasing real estate. There is also abandoned land that is currently public property that could be rented from the government and in the future purchased, which is suitable for partitioning and populating at almost no cost with mobile homes. This land is a few parcels – one is 14,000 m2 which includes lots of trees and shrubs (it’s not bare land); there is the magic forest, which is 5,000m2 which is very suitable for a common area for the community; and a few other options.
Even though we are close to Sofia and civilization, the feeling in this neighborhood is that we’re in the wild. The views are mountains, hills, forests, fields and a beautiful lake (Pchelina Dam).
Our personal interests are co-creating with Nature (using intuition and Perelandra’s techniques – http://www.perelandra-ltd.com), permaculture, natural building, natural (home) birth, environmentally sustained technologies, Waldorf/Steiner education, Paneurhythmy, energy medicine, spirituality.
We are hoping for people to join us, so that we can create a sustainable community structure based on our common principles and experience, as well as on existing models and experiences from other communities.

How to join

If someone would like to join our community, there isn’t anything they ‘should’ do in particular. We are flexible. We can accept guests over a longer period of time until we agree that we are a good match. We are happy to help with acquiring property or joining our common land.

No: 196/3 Detailed info (Turkish): http://yeryuzudernegi.org/projedetay.php?id=51 Coordinators: SULE GONULSUZ sulegonulsuz@hotmail.com NURIYE KAYALI kayalinuriye@gmail.com We use local seeds and we provided those seeds from people who make organical farming. After we procure those seeds, we put them on a cycle. We organized “Seed Exchange Days”, where people could meet and exchange their seeds, their knowledge and experiences. We tried to take it one step further and we are trying to categorize the seeds. For example, -there is a bean seed. But which type of bean seed is it? Or we try to categorize the seeds according to their durabilty in which city they could grow. We believe that all the seeds in the World are people’s seeds and we want to share them with everyone.

Ecotratamiento de Aguas Residuales

Agua es vida, el recurso más importante de todos. Desde la perspectiva de Sunseed como un centro educativo sobre la vida de bajo impacto nos gustarĂ­a ofrecerles un curso para aprender, profundizar e intercambiar los conocimientos teĂłricos y prácticos sobre el cuidado de agua. El curso va a estar enfocado principalmente en el tema de saneamiento ecolĂłgico de aguas residuales, cubriendo a la vez los aspectos teĂłricos de potabilizaciĂłn de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Vamos a aprender como diseñar y construir un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas grises a travĂ©s de la construcciĂłn de humedales artificiales de flujo subsuperficial, en cuales se trata de la utilizaciĂłn de plantas acuáticas para depurar las aguas residuales que han tenido un tratamiento primario. Los humedales artificiales son canales de gravilla sembrados con las plantas depuradoras, han sido aplicadas y debidamente reguladas en varios paĂ­ses de Europa y ofrecen una alternativa sana y segura tanto para autogestionar los recursos de agua como poder reutilizar agua tratada en un hogar. Usando herramientas como power point, videos y charlas vamos a aprender sobre el diseño y aspectos claves para tener en cuenta construyendo nuestro sistema casero. En tiempo libre vamos a divertirnos con juegos, mĂşsica y baños en una poza cercana. El curso va a estar dividido en partes teĂłricas y prácticas. La parte práctica va a incluir – Diseño de un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas residuales – las tuberĂ­as, tratamiento primario (trampas de grasa y tanques sĂ©pticos), tratamiento secundario (Humedales Artificiales de Flujo Subsuperficial), riego con aguas grises. – ConstrucciĂłn de una trampa de grasa como el tratamiento primario – PreparaciĂłn de un humedal artificial de flujo horizontal – impermeabilizaciĂłn y conexiones. Parte teĂłrica va a cubrir la introducciĂłn a la potabilizaciĂłn de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Para mejorar nuestra experiencia educativa vamos a definir los aspec
