Who else can build the nest better than the bird h/self?

Rasayana supports people who like to take things in hand. It can happen that you can’t figure out what the next step will be, what materials or plants you will choose, how to build your main structure,… Exchanging ideas about a certain issue you struggle with for a while, can be very clarifying and inspiring. We tend to see things from a different angle to find creative solutions, you can easily apply. We prefer simplicity created with on site materials.

With a holistic approach, inspired by our ancestors, we find solutions that increase biodiversity, enrich the soil, won’t create waste, are affordable, reduce living expenses, create abundance…

Rasayana will guide you through the range of possibilities to immerse yourself even more into that independent and healthy life you always dreamt off, in connection with Nature and your true Self, far away from the sickening ratrace.

We guide you, encourage you and empower you, especially women, to start creating your own space. You don’t need a special education, you don’t need years of experience and you don’t have to be physically strong. You only need a high dose of willpower, determination and some guts to realise your dream.
