A Place to Be, is a non-profit, educational co-operative, dedicated to improving the wellbeing of local and wider communities through education in wellbeing, permaculture and practical skills programmes.
At the core of our project is a heart centred approach of compassion and universal love to create a centre for all aspects and members of the community to come and learn practical skills and ways of improving wellbeing individually and as a community.
If you’d like to do something different over the holidays, and support a Place to Be, we’d like to invite you to some exceptional experiences in the country:

Each day is offered free of charge, a light lunch will be provided and participants will have the opportunity to make a donation to the project.
Also: if you wish to attend more than one day, please indicate your priorities, since space is limited (and infinite at the same time).
Place to Be Objectives
Our objectives include working with under privileged and vulnerable people amongst communities to bring about a sense of equality and bonding, boosting self-esteem and mastering useful, practical and life improving skills.
We are dedicated to social responsibility, helping our neighbours and sharing our skills with our communities. Compassion, caring and supporting one another are matters of the heart not economics. These are the values and principles that will transform and bring about a positive change which we can only develop from within. These principles cannot be legislated or imposed upon us.
If you are not happy with the way things are at the moment, rather than fight the current system why not be a part of creating a new one! If you want to be part of a positive change in the world then join us in finding a way in which we become less dependent on the systems of government and more independent, finding better ways to sustain ourselves and one another within supportive communities.
Joy comes from the act of giving and receiving, let’s live a more joy filled life together!
