Welcome to the Dharmahouse! we are a non-profit organisation running courses and retreats in sustainable agriculture, permaculture and mindfulness. It is our aim to run courses that help build healthy and resilient communities. Draw on the therapuetic and spiritual aspects of nature and explore creative ways to deal with environmental issues.

We have been running courses and retreats since 2006 in the south of France. This was a very rich and rewarding experience for us and we feel very blessed to have been a part of this. We found however that the majority of people coming to our centre were coming from the UK and felt that for an organisation concerned with local sustainability this didn't sit too comfortably on our shoulders! So we took the decision in summer 2009 to relocate back to the south of England and set up a low impact smallholding that could be a living example of what we stood for. We are now engaged in that process and aim to be restablished and running courses again by summer 2011.
