What we do

Adadaoism provides healthy living through permaculture, herbalism, foraging, fine and performing arts, meditation and more; We promote both getting back in touch with nature and ourselves as means of healing from our current state of being.
I have land in Maine and in the Azores I would like to use for natural building and horticulture projects. I plan on building straw-bale, cob, hempcrete and wooden structures as well as create permaculture gardens and food forests. I am interested in organizing natural building and horticulture workshops as well as donate food and herbs to the local community in need.
The initiative is in it’s infancy. So far, I started a mushroom garden and built hugelkultur beds but there is plenty left to do and plenty of good to come out of it. My next projects are a cob pizza oven, root cellar, greenhouse, mobile tea house and more.
