At Gaiarcadia Academy Rural Retreat (GARR), we will be actively engaged in community-driven projects that lead to meaningful transformations. Our focus encompasses education, sustainability, and economic empowerment, paving the way for every individual to succeed and prosper.

GARR*** is a permaculture designed, centre of education & learning for sustainability leaders and co-evolutionary upshift activists and ambassadors of the Gaianthropocene, event participants & supporters to gather periodically for healing, inspiration, meditation retreats, personal growth & synergetic regeneration.

The design unfolds with the construction of two large domes on either side of the central yurt (see pic) – the meeting heart of GARR. North of these a 100 metre by 15 metre polytunnel and organic garden beds. South eventually will be a 2-storey eco-barn with business centre, warehouse and series of 2-bed rooms. East and west of the eco-barn are grassed areas for teepees, tents and waterless toilets (serving also as a display centre for GreenToilets.au).

GARR is a project of the non-for-profit Garcadia Academy. Development & funding for the project is from donations, crowd-funding, loans (no or lo interest), pledges, bequests, subscriptions (eg to patreon.com/@gaiarcadia &/or patreon.com/@wholelifetimes) & farm-stays plus income from GARR related businesses like GreenToilets.au • Wellemart.com .

GAHBO is the urban HQ of GRR.
