Do you long to feel healthy within yourself, in your relationships, and as a member of the human family?
Can you imagine each of us, our communities, and our world as interconnected?
We are farmers, researchers and activists who believe the key to healing is knowledge, connection with others, and networks of regenerative sustainability. We are living a new model of multifunctional, global healing and we invite you to join us.
Borgo Basino is a living, learning community connecting education, networking and wellness on a small multifunctional farm. We are a hub for agricultural innovation, community wellness, and sustainable hospitality. We Learn together as a folk school, Live together as an ecovillage, and Grow together as an organic farm and bed & breakfast.
We, Federica and Evan, are pleased to share this site as a developing space for our project at Borgo Basino in Italy. Since 2013, we have used our blog to share our experiences, pictures and thoughts as we stay here at the Faggioli family farm/bed and breakfast (“agrotourism”, is the term used here in Italy). Fede grew up here, helping her parents build a multifunctional business which has hosted groups from around the world, sponsored everything from mountain biking teams to horse therapy activities to internships, and now is ready for new energy. We are now in the process of taking up the family business and branching out, including support for people in transition like migrants, migrant supporters and peaceworkers, work to build an established ecovillage community here, and growing permaculture and land stewardship regeneration of the farm.
We are now offering the opportunity to donate securely and directly to our project through PayPal. You can pay using PayPal or a credit card. Your donation today will go towards supporting our workshops, trainings, and laboratory spaces. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the update and for following us. Federica is a huge fan of ziplines. Is there one in the area that features your harnesses?
