We aim to protect and restore land, water, LIVING ARTS, while promoting regeneration on every level of the ecosystem, from inner to outer, from the micro to the macro.

 

By revitalizing ancestral knowledge, especially among local women and girls, we support sustainable circular economies and therefore aim to strengthen community resilience.

United together by the fact that our society has moved from wisdom to information, and that information is so partial – that we’re creating incomplete human beings.

Living Estavela draws inspiration from the simplicity of Montenegro’s natural HERITAGE, its myths and legends.

 

We have designed exceptional programming to create an unparalleled REGENERATIVE& CREATIVE LIVING ARTS  experience.

Join us at OUR WATER SANCTUARY

Embrace the wisdom of water. Reconnect with the ancients. Experience the magic of Montenegro.

Surrounded by an oasis of fresh water, air, and thriving diversity, abundance flows throughout.

We invite you to immerse yourself in the timeless flow of water, drawing inspiration from ancient water mills. Here, amid the waters of Montenegro, our heritage intertwines with the life-giving force of these streams, fostering a deep connection to nature’s abundance.

The Living Estavela project embodies our commitment to awakening our primal instincts and nurturing a self-reliant ethos.

As stewards of land and waters, we embrace our role as Guardians, entrusted with preserving the delicate balance of living ecosystems, embracing the essence of our true purpose:
to inspire the transformative art of regeneration.

Through hands-on learning and ancient wisdom skills, we empower our guests to craft a world aligned with their aspirations for a thriving future.

In ancient times, water played a vital role in powering mills for grinding native grain and corn into flour. These traditional mills symbolize self-reliance, as communities depend on them to process their own grain, fostering a sense of autonomy and sustainability.

The rhythmic flow of water sustained livelihoods but also preserves cultural heritage, connecting people to the land and fostering a deep appreciation for the resources provided by nature.

Today, embracing these traditions can inspire the timeless wisdom in harnessing the power of water for sustenance and empowerment.

 

The only way to build hope is through the Earth.

OUR SUPERFOOD

Ranging from potent berries to native corn, the bounty of our land intertwines seamlessly with our nourishment. Across the seasons, a rich tapestry of fruits, vegetables, grains, roots and nuts flourishes here. Among these, we cherish corn dating back over centuries, alongside native plum and apple varieties. Embracing the ethos of permaculture, we diligently sow new seeds and new plants to foster abundance and biodiversity, ensuring a vibrant and sustainable food ecosystem.
