Very full days here but very fulfilling. In the experience of interacting with nature and the plants and everything and all is just enjoyable.
Interacting with the people it's very cool, it's very calm, it's warm, it's relaxed, it's respectful, It's nice, as if I think every time you choose an aspect of working with nature you meet soul partners or soul sisters and brothers everybody has the same attitude so you instantly connect and every body is very easy.

We learned so much not only from a Permaculture point of view but also Giuseppe brings much more to the table from a Regenerative point of view. A lot of practice rather than theory. Giuseppe brings much more to the table than just a simple PDC.
