MOUNTAIN LAND

NORTHERN MONTENEGRO

my heart is calm and full of peace

by jingly coolness of the streams

dawn colors imbue panorama

on horizon of distant peaks

WHO ARE WE

Our team now consists of adout duzen people with different stories and experiences.


Some of us have been together for a long time and have gone through a lot. Some met for the first time, but we are united by a common network of contacts and cross-projects in education, ecology, enlightenment, and art. The initial attraction that led us to Montenegro was the school and kindergarten launched in 2022 on the Adriatic coast in Bar.


In search of a summer residence, we ended up north of Montenegro. In a 30-minute drive from the railway station of Mojkovac, we met the place that inspired and made us want to try to land here.


The decision to acquire a common land is an attempt to turn our common dreams into reality.


Below, you will learn more about the project and what we want to do.

Who knows, maybe you will also feel the summoning of this wild kind of place, so there will be more of us.

MISSION

To become part of the Mountain Land and its keepers.


Our aspiration - to create a place of experiment to find answers to the challenges of our time, guided by the approach of nature-friendliness in our practices and solutions, based on the declared project values:

Exploring

We explore and learn through the world around us. Observation is our key to development

Preservation

We care for and protect nature, supporting its biodiversity

Regeneration
We strive for practices to heal and revive the lost
Trust
We learn to trust each other and negotiate through self-reliance methods
Localisation
We are trying to grow our own food and establish an internal exchange of resources
Creation
We weave. Our presence and activities are careful and considerate

Keeping the priority of nature, organically weaving into slopes of the Mountain Land, we will create an infrastructure for presence and creation. Inviting guests of all ages to participate and seek answers through connection with the environment and the courage to try and experiment.

PROJECT ECOSYSTEM

We dream a lot. There is no way to keep all this beauty in one head, and even more so - to realize it alone. Our values ​​are revealed through practical experiences and activities. When we come together, we become a living ecosystem where the elements complement and support each other.

OUR SPACE
On the hill, at the entrance to Mountain Land, you will find the main house with hot water and electricity. You can find a shower room with a toilet and a kitchen with a living room there. There are also several bedrooms and a music room. Guests and participants can set up tents around the house. It is better to bring your equipment, but it can also be rented with us. Nearby is a wild children's space with a tree house and a stream. Several campfire places where you can gather in the evenings are strewn across the territory. Beyond the third stream in the farthest clearing is a nature camp for retreats and meditations. Our neighbors have goats, cows, milk, cheese, and other local products. On the territory and around you can walk for a long time and enjoy the beauty. At different times of the year, there are strawberries, wild strawberries, other berries, and mushrooms.
OUR PATH
We are currently in the process of acquiring land, and to complete the purchase as a collective, we need to pay the remaining cost. The project is already underway, and we are building a team and are increasingly fascinated by this place. We are moving forward.
