Years of wind and rain have weathered away the cover of our beautiful Domo tent where we hold meetings, workshops and sharing circles. After more than ten years we have finally decided a change is needed!

This approach to agriculture fosters a dynamic, regenerative and healthy ecosystem that restores degraded soil biodiversity. By planting trees, shrubs, and crops together with mulch, horse manure and humanure we mimic the forest’s natural ecosystem. After purchasing new trees we have planted them in our gardens giving them a new home to grow in. The symbiotic interactions between plants and our human management (chopping, pruning and dropping) will regenerate our soils.

Organizado por MIHI Letonia, dicha organización reunió a 30 trabajadores juveniles y educadores de Letonia, España, Italia, Francia, Polonia, Chipre y la República Checa para explorar cómo la narración digital y la realización cinematográfica pueden promover la conciencia medioambiental y la sostenibilidad.

What does it mean to come to Sunseed? Why do people come here? Why change the comfort of city life to living in the middle of nowhere, depending on solar power and not being able to just quickly go grocery shopping?

In September 2025 I organised an intimate outdoor acoustic concert with local and international artists. Designed to be an active listening experience where we break the border between audience and artists, the concert was a co-creative event where people come together as friends and share their love for live music. The concert was set in a beautiful space in the Sunseed land amongst wild bushes and olive trees with the desert mountains in the back and stars shining bright in

From 12 – 17 August we attended the 2025 European Ecovillage Gathering, which was hosted by Mindenegyüttmegy Association (MEGY), a thriving ecovillage that happens to be one of the largest permaculture projects in Hungary. This year was a special year in the history of the ecovillage movement, as it marked the 30 year anniversary of the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN), and the first year that the annual gathering was happening in eastern Europe.

Anna is currently doing her European Solidarity Corps (ESC) and is staying for 6 months in Sunseed, working in the Organic Gardens Department. For her personal project, she chose to build Vermicompost bins out of old fridges, combining upcycling practices with sustainable gardening methods. In this article, she´ll introduce us to the art of vermicomposting and how it can transform our relationship with nature, discovering again how intertwined our ecosystem is.

I’m Raphael, and I spent three months — from April to July 2025 — at Sunseed as a gardens intern. During this time, I took part in the core tasks that keep the gardens healthy and productive: planting, transplanting, weeding, composting, watering, seed saving, and harvesting. It was a hands-on experience that deepened my understanding of ecological gardening and sustainable agriculture.

The day that we have been waiting for the last weeks, has arrived: this years Festival en Defensa del Agua and oh how worth it the waiting was. The days building up to the festival were full of collaborative, creative minds and hands that imagined and perfected the festival site until the very last moment.

CaminArte: una jornada para convertir una parte de la basura recogida alrededor de Los Molinos del Río Aguas en algo bello, aprovechando la creatividad de las personas participantes.

Los Molinos del Rio Agua is a living landscape that sings out as warblers, collared doves, nightingales and sparrows. It hums through blocks of fallen sandstone and sighs through grass cañas and laundry lines. It laughs over stones and silt and gypsum shards. It choruses as frogs and crickets as the light falls. And it murmurs in various human languages around Sunseed’s patio tables, where orange trees cast shadows and listen in over our shoulders as we talk late into the nig

Over the last few months we have been creating some sunken beds of our very own! Here we will detail the process of their construction…

"Storytelling for Change" was a 5-day in-person gathering held in February 2025 at the Sunseed Desert Technology with 20 participants.

Another year, 2024, is gone and we wanted to take stock of the activities we have carried out as a community over the last few months. These months have been a period of learning, achievements, and connections. We want to share the highlights and tell you what’s next in 2025.

The video that I made is an experimental audio-visual piece that explores the ways in which we are in conversation with our environment. By experimenting with alternative filmmaking methods, I aim to capture the more-than-human experience of the surrounding drylands of Sunseed in order to expand and disorient our human gaze.

From October 4-19 2024 Sunseed hosted our first Permaculture Design Course in more than 4 years! For just over two weeks, 10 permaculture enthusiasts from around Europe joined the Sunseed community to learn about the various aspects of permaculture design, focusing on how to design sustainable communities and regenerative ecosystems in the desert.

For the second year in a row Sunseed happily welcomed a group of 10 schoolchildren from Bulgaria to our community, along with two of their chaperones, for a shared weekend of learning about sustainability in our beautiful off-grid village. This four-day stay was made possible by the “Knowledge through Adventure” project of “Bulgarsko shkolo,” co-funded by the ERASMUS+ program.

El pasado 27 de abril, celebramos en Los Molinos del Río Aguas la quinta edición del Festival en Defensa del Agua para poder dar a conocer y educar sobre la explotación del acuífero que alimenta el Río Aguas que mantiene con vida al pueblo de Los Molinos y toda la naturaleza alrededor.
