Alkimia

Our community is located in the Coromandel, 15 min North of Thames. Up in the hills, surrounded by native bush, and looking out into the ocean, we have a small number of residents and volunteers living in a big house and a few cabins. We have a studio for classes, personal practices and communal events, and host regular workshops, ceremonies, sharing circles, bonfires, music, dance, healing practices, arts & crafts, movie nights, games, and other activities. We believe in balancing the social element of community with personal/introspective time, for which this place offers plenty of hidden gems, unexpected animals and beautiful nature tracks to explore. Permaculture principles enable us to look after the land, build gardens (aiming towards feeding the community with plantbased organic food), recycle, grow sustainably, and share resources appropriately. We intend to gradually expand our facilities, cabins and venues, through the continuous support of people who contribute with their skills, possessions or contributions, as well as by reinvesting 100% of our revenue back into the community (e.g. income from resident's rents, creative initiatives and crowd funding).
