私たちは、『本当の自分を生きる学校』をテーマに掲げたオルタナティブスクールです。好きなことをとことん追求し、自分の能力を最大限につかって楽しむ場所を創っています。
個性豊かな子どもたち（6歳～18歳）に加え、たくさんの大人も集い自分の得意なこと（有機農、養蜂、ハーブ園創り、ヒーリング、料理、木工、Ｗｅｂデザインなど）を楽しみながら、それぞれのエネルギーを循環させここを運営しています。
ウーファーの方には、ここに集うみんなとの関わりの中で様々な体験をしてもらえると思います。基本的にはここに寝泊まりしてもらい、有機農の手伝いやちょっとした雑用、子どもたちを始め私たちの良き友人になってもらいたいです。また、オルタナティブスクールに興味のある方、実際に創りたいと思っている方、大歓迎です。
We are an alternative school. We are creating a place, that everybody absorbed thing one likes and use abilities to the fullest.

Unique and cute children (6 to 18 years old), and some adults gather and enjoy what they are good at, and operate here by circulating their energy. (Organic farming, beekeeping, herb gardening, healing, cooking, woodworking, web design, etc.)
We think that the woofers will have various experiences in the relationship with everyone gathered here. Basically,we would like them to stay school, help with organic farming, do small chores, and become good friends with our children and others.
Also, those who are interested in alternative schools and those who actually want to create them are very welcome.
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
