    Grow a tree in the desert!

    You'll have your own tree or shrub named after you in the new agroforestry garden that we've created in Diego III. We'll send you a picture and personalised message to thank you :)

    Also, whenever you come to Sunseed in the future, you'll be able to visit your tree and know that it was thanks to your contribution that we could continue our work on Diego III, turning it into the productive and biodiverse syntropic agroforestry system that we know it can become!

    Medicinal plants e-book (83 pages long)

    This thoroughly-researched and beautifully illustrated e-book teaches you how to make your own natural first aid kit, as well as providing detailed information about how to identify, grow, harvest, dry and use 37 medicinal plants. All of these plants grow - or have been grown - in Sunseed's medicinal garden, but many of them are commonly found across Europe and other continents (for example mint, basil, rosemary, St John's wort, comfrey, nettle etc).

    The e-book will be sent to you in PDF format (easily accessible on most devices).

    Private yoga lesson at Sunseed with Rosa

    Come to Sunseed and enjoy a 1.5 hour private yoga lesson with Rosa, one of our Sunseed core team who also happens to be a yoga teacher! The lesson will take place either in our dome, a cosy private space surrounded by nature, or outside depending on the weather. Feel free to bring one or two others along with you (maximum group size is 3 people).

    Optional: for an additional €20, you can follow your yoga lesson with a 1-hour yoga nidra meditation offering by Billie (another of our qualified yoga teachers!) and afterwards share a nutritious vegetarian meal with us at Sunseed before going home.

    'Immersive Sunseed Day' experience (to be planned in the month of April)

    Spend the morning on a 2-hour foraging walk led by Silvia, learning how to identify edible wild plants in the nature surrounding Sunseed. Then bring your foraging harvest to a cooking workshop led by Silvia and Billie, learn the best vegetarian recipes using wild herbs, and eat your delicious foraged lunch together with the Sunseed community.

    After lunch, join a guided tour of the Sunseed project, and learn all about our permaculture gardens and our off-grid systems.

    Finally, end the day with a fungi workshop led by Ines, learning about the different fungi-related projects and experiments we are doing at Sunseed!

    Be our guest! (1 - 2 people)

    Enjoy a two-night stay in a private room at Sunseed, with all your (organic and vegetarian) meals cooked for you. We would offer you a guided tour of our project and also a guided hike of the surrounding area if you would be interested, otherwise you are also very welcome to explore and enjoy the natural environment on your own as you wish. Take a swim in our beautiful natural pool (poza), rest in a hammock or explore abandoned, ancient villages like nearby El Tesoro.

    This reward is for one or two people (if two, you would stay in the same room). Your stay with us would need to be before the end of June 2022, but otherwise we can be quite flexible about your preferred dates.
