Projekt Alive-Village

Project idea:
The project is planned to start between 2026 and 2028 in Menorca (Mao/San Lluis) and/or South Africa (Plettenberg Bay).

Goal:
To create a space where people can recharge their energy and regain confidence—without having to believe in „something.“

Bringing People Together:

  • This peaceful place is for anyone seeking it:
  • You simply need some rest.
  • You want to unleash your creativity.
  • You want to do nothing for a while.
  • You enjoy physical activities.
  • Or you’re looking for something completely different.

We offer options for both short vacation, stays and long-term residencies. Additionally, we provide facilities for seminars such as meditation, yoga, dance, art, Advaita, or sports classes.
Generally, offerings will be carried out by local residents. Of course, the premises can also be made available to closed groups.

Timeout:
Anyone in need of a break—for whatever reason—can stay at the Alive-Village Camp for up to six months. Requests for longer stays will also be considered.

He has worked in project management for large Swiss companies and has a background in the fields of addiction treatment, residential care, asylum, and autism.

Infrastructure:

  • The property should be at least 3 to 10 hectares in size.
  • It will feature multiple accommodation options, seminar spaces, and sports facilities.
  • Housing options for groups or private units (e.g., tiny houses or apartments).
  • Private swimming pool, hiking trails, cycling tracks, etc.
  • Production of aloe vera, honeybush or rooibos tea, fashion items, or similar products.
  • Senior living units nearby could be managed or catered to by the camp organization.

Skilled Personnel Available:
