Project Essentials 2025
Co-healing place for humans and horses
A place of deep connection – uniting humans, animals, nature, and art.
Here, we are co-creating a new culture of togetherness.
The place
Located between Périgueux and Limoges (Dordogne, France), a ready-to-move-in estate awaits:
- 28 hectares of land – forest, meadows, lake, river, gardens
- Several renovated houses for community living and guest accommodation up to 30 persons
- Stables, barns, open air platforms, seminar spaces
- Existing infrastructure for animal care, human-animal encounters, permaculture and retreats
The purchase price is 1.1 million euros. Of this amount, 400,000 euros will be repaid over the years as a loan. We are currently raising 700,000 euros to realize the purchase.
Financial contributions are possible through: purpose-bound donations, social impact investment, direct loans, or cooperative shares.
Our Vision
HumanNature@Home is a sanctuary and pilot project for a new way of living together. Here’s what we’re creating:

- Art & collective intelligence – for expression, connection, and transformation
- Permaculture & animal rights – honoring the Earth as a living being, not a resource
- Democratie & societal dialogue – through multi-perspectives, congresses, cross-over formats, and impactful events
