Our Vision
Sustainability
Naturopia focuses on sustainability. We use the superadobe technique to build high-end eco-structures. We also grow food forests using the permaculture playbook. It’s our way of keeping things green and blending in with nature, promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable practices.
Community
Naturopia is a thriving community that honors local cultures and ecosystems. We foster symbiotic relationships, promoting a sense of belonging and shared responsibility for the environment. Our eco-village brings together like-minded individuals passionate about sustainable living and mindful practices.
Education:
Naturopia is keen on spreading knowledge on eco-living. We host workshops on natural building and permaculture. We also organize workaways and volunteering opportunities. It's our approach to teach sustainable practices while also contributing to eco-friendly actions. Our goal is simple - sharing knowledge in order to make sustainability a common practice.
