Toma has lived in the North Moroccan countryside for a while, enjoying the cultural immersion, the sweet weather, the chill life and the good surf. He teamed up with Ismael to help him on his eco-project : an off-grid experimental sanctuary for freedom, wellbeing and cultural exchanges in arts, sustainability and permaculture. The idea behind the place is to have a place where people can come as guests to rest in the wonderful countryside, to practice yoga, learn new skills or share theirs with other.
