With over a decade of experience in permaculture design, we have brought together everything we know into this comprehensive program to help you embark on your own dream projects and pollinate everywhere with what you have learned and experienced with us.
Holistic learning experience: The disciple is the master and vice versa, which is why we will guide you in your own exploration. Our activities involve the "head, heart and hands" philosophy, which entails reflecting on new knowledge, opening up all your senses and getting your hands dirty. You can choose to participate in green building, vegetable gardening, agroforestry, beekeeping or greenhouse keeping, always based on the premise of learning by doing. We will also seek to share artistic and recreational moments involving music, singing, painting or writing.
Hands-on and in-class both in real life & online training program includes:
Take your university project to the next level with our internship program!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve your skills by doing work with purpose.
Our learning process relies on nature-based solutions, permaculture and regenerative design by working in a multidimensional way, covering all possible linking scales, starting from the self, all the way to the community and the biosphere. Learning goals are divided into the following: cognitive (mind), socio-emotional (heart) and behavioral (hands).
During your stay at Quinta Esencia, you will deepen and embody our philosophy: systemic thinking and a more reciprocal relationship with nature.
This program will inspire you to make changes in your life and the ecosystems of which you are part.

We are building School of Nature using the principles of ecological systems as a basis for design. School of Nature is a 100% biomimetic building that seeks to contribute to accelerating the transition towards an ecologically literate society.
To finish it we need to reach 20.000 USD.
We need your support.
Let’s become active participants in bringing about the change we hope for! Let’s build together the Great Turning towards a life-sustaining civilization!
