Venue Information - Flooting Boats Farm: 
THE PROJECT
Floating Boots- conceived as a work in progress, is defined as a collective in constant change and evolution. It is open to everyone who cross paths in North Goa.

​OUR EFFORT
In september 2015 we felt moved to find an abandoned farm on this fragile planet that we could love and care for. We felt inspired with the idea of creating a “Mandala garden” in which we and others could merge with the beauty of Nature. We are dedicated to rejuvenate the farm of “Sadche battlem” abounded for last 35 years in Mandrem, in the spirit of communion and cooperation with the forces of Nature, we hope to make this place sustainable.
This project is a collective creative effort to stand upto the challenges facing us today. Beyond the contraints of cultural or religious dogmas, we persevere in the deepest sense to be One with all of Life.
Our motivation isn't only to have it for ourselves but to co create a sustainable, balanced community for the future.

Embracing the principles of permaculture as an invaluable guide on this journey of observation and creativity we are gradually learning the art of growing our own vegetables,seed saving, greywater and irrigation systems, composting toilets, eco building etc. We feel blessed to have stumbled upon this farmland not only for its natural beauty but also the local people who have accepted us as a part of their community. We wish to collaborate with them as well in the coming years.
It is a place for those who yearn to drop the habitual pretence, manipulation and mistrust that divide and alienate human beings from themselves and each other. A community for honest,
trustworthy relationships based on a shared interest in Truth & Evolution.
