Since March of 2020 we aim to be a virus-free community. We self-isolate within our property and limit contact with the outside world as much as possible in order to maintain a household where we can live together without face masks, social distancing and insecurity.
We welcome new volunteers and members, but not for short visits anymore. They need to live the first two weeks of their stay at social distance from the rest of the group and should plan to stay for 2 months or more. We provide for their needs during these weeks and they participate in the work in the garden at 2m distance. They do not enter in the main house and the members of the household do not enter in the spaces for quarantine use.
We also reduce our risk of Covid-19 infection considerably by following a healthy lifestyle. This not only protects against the virus but also limits and even reverses many other diseases.
Among our safety measures:
We stopped inviting guests and visitors and we stopped offering workshops.
We do not go out of the property individually. If necessary we can take you by car to places where you need to go (such as a doctor or pharmacy).
You can ask us to buy things for you outside.
You can also look for delivery options yourself, or order from Amazon and others.
We accept deliveries but avoid close contact with the suppliers.
We sometimes go together by car to the beach or other outside areas that are well ventilated. We avoid spaces where we get close to other people, touch them or breathe their air in. We also avoid touching surfaces that other people touch. When coming back we wash our hands before touching anything.

2. Hygiene inside the house
- Please have a tissue at hand when you feel the need to sneeze or cough or blow your nose. Have it in front of your face and turn away from other people or food dishes. It also prevents sharing cold and flu viruses. Discard used tissues in a closed garbage can and wash your hands.
- Doorknobs, handles of taps and kitchen and other tools should be cleaned regularly.
- Dry things outside in the sun, do not leave dirty and wet things inside.
3. Staying healthy
- We eat well and get enough sleep. We reduce stress with exercise and meditations.
- Deep breathing techniques keep our lungs in condition, and increases resistance.
- The sauna temperature of 70 degrees helps to kill the virus, as well as the UV rays in sunlight.
- Working in the garden gives us healthy movement and exposure to the sun, providing vitamin D.
- We enjoy every day, we don’t need to worry as long as we observe these rules.
