Consulting for Sustainable Living
Individual and group consultations for anyone wanting to take the first step toward life outside the city.
Why these consultations
Whether you are at the start of your journey toward life outside the city, or already have your own place — the consultations help achieve harmony with nature and build a sustainable environment for you and your family.
Behind them stand 15+ years of practical experience in sustainable and ecological agriculture, permaculture, and building a self-sufficient life. As a mother of five and a certified organic producer, Svilena has been through all the challenges this way of life offers — from growing food and building community to financial and inner resilience.
What you will get
- An individual approach according to your needs and means — whether you are a family wanting to move out of the city, or already live in the countryside and seek more sustainability.
- Real stories, successes and difficulties on the path to sustainable living — without excess romanticism, with practical advice and solutions that work.
- Concrete steps toward self-sufficiency — how to start a garden, which crops suit you, how to organise production and the exchange of products, and how to make use of the CSA model.
- Advice on a supportive community — finding like-minded people, volunteering opportunities, and the exchange of experience.
- Balance between financial sustainability and inner peace — how to turn a sustainable way of life into a source of income and fulfilment.
