Gaura Urban Permaculture is a demonstration of living simply, spiritually and sustainably in an urban environment. We are spiritually associated with the Gaura Yoga Center and the Hare Krishna Network. Many of the techniques and approaches we use are drawn from Permaculture and Biodynamics.

Our aim is to live simple, satisfying lifestyle and save time for spiritual focus. In contrast, modern lifestyles are unnecessarily complex, deeply unsatisfying and spiritually unconnected. But for people who have grown up living this way, it can be difficult to see any alternatives. We hope Gaura Urban Permaculture will be such an example by demonstrating a sublime mix of simple living and practical spirituality in an urban environment.

There has never been a more urgent need of a realistic alternative lifestyle than at present. Scientists and environmentalists are warning of major crises such as global warming, peak oil, and widespread loss of soil fertility and food production capacity. Social statistics reveal that people in general are less happy than ever, despite modern technology and economic improvement.

We hope you will read more about our lifestyle on this website, and please consider how your own life could become simple, spiritual and sustainable!
