What we do

Bhrugu Aranya Ecovillage is a blossoming international Ecovillage, an organic Homa farm community in the rolling hills of southern Poland, with the majestic Tatra Mountains looming over the horizon. We have a spiritual focus, but are non-denominational, focusing on living in harmony with Nature. The place is magical. The energies here are quite powerful and the place heals you.
Here, we use Homa Organic Farming methods based on the ancient Vedic science of Agnihotra healing fire performed at sunrise and sunset. We are all vegetarians, some vegans, and grow a lot of our own food.
Creativity, spiritual awareness, self-development, music, arts, Mandala Art Therapy, Sound Healing, alternative education, herbs, and holistic healing are our primary interests. Currently we are 16 adults, 3 children, 4 cows, 5 dogs, many cats, ducks and bees. We are an eclectic mix of artists, musicians, healers, authors, gardeners, herbalists, architects, therapists and teachers…and dreamers.
Our ecological/educational Nonprofit Foundation teaches Homa Therapy free of charge. We also offer additional experiential workshops in Homa Organic gardening, Fire & Sound Healing, Creative Arts, Mandala Art Therapy and Herbal Lore. Women’s circles weekly.
On the farm one can buy Agnihotra pyramids & accessories, books, Mandala Prints, Deva Herb teas, Homa organic honey, handmade quilts and clothes. . .
We support Rose Circles, a women’s empowerment program in India which helps train women below the poverty level to grow organic foods and learn skills to help them become self-sufficient. We promote their handmade products: original designed clothing, yoga mats, handmade patchwork quilts, rose brooches.
Centre of Light is our biggest project. We have been building a large double-octagon eco centre to serve as a venue for ecological education and a venue for teachers, artists, healers and visionaries for our future.
We welcome visitors and have accommodation for guests in our log cabin, wooden guesthouse and in caravans.
Best is if you have a sincere interest in spiritual (not religious) and environmental living. PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL IN ADVANCE to make arrangements, costs for stay.
