“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” - Albert Camus

Growing our spirit is the ultimate act of resistance. We share love but we fight with all our heart for a better world. We know every single one of our actions can change the entire Universe. So we try to act accordingly. This is why we built Argillaria, the very first 3D printed farm with clay, on site, using giant 3D printers made by WASP, our partners in this experiment. We built an experimental farm to grow our spirit alongside the crops. We built Argillaria with this experimental technique to prove that super advanced technology used in a mindful and ethical way can be matched with our ancestral resources to create the most sustainable future ever. Now this future is present. And we believe that living the present is the wisest and bravest act of consciousness we can do. 

This technique could be scaled up to bring proper housing and dignity to all the far too many places in the world where, due to emergency reasons, people live in camps and tents for decades. 3D printing in clay is fast, a completely regenerative approach, and requires only the clay you find on site to build the main infrastructure. And give shelter, life, love.

Yet clay in many countries is not considered a suitable construction material. Cement, one of the most polluting materials ever, is king.

We are thus trying this experiment: building a place to foster a new vision, a new spirit, creativity, art, new scientific theories, to host in various residencies, artists, scientists, thinkers and (extra)ordinary mindful people who want to look deep into nature, living inside clay, walking barefoot on clay, with supercool upcycled vintage and handcrafted furnitures, sleeping on amazingly comfortable 100% natural mattresses, bathing in a biolake instead of a pool, eating marvelous organic food instead of junk, sipping a herbal tea or natural wines instead of canned sodas, driving an electric vehicle powered by the sun instead of spitting gasoline, hoping and thinking that another World is possible. And we, all together, are that possibility.

Singing and dancing and playing and meditating and thinking and talking and planting and crafting and sharing and studying and reading and loving.

Growing our spirit is the ultimate act of resistance. Choosing consciousness is the ultimate regenerative weapon we have.
