Greenhouse NPO - Empowering Communities through Environmental and Indigenous Advocacy

Indigenous way of life proved to be symbiotic with nature

We nurture initiatives that reconnect humans with indigenous wisdom: "The Earth and myself are of one mind".

We move towards eco-centric consciousness instead of ego-centric.

We believe that the trauma of control can be healed through dance and connection to Earth in a spiritual way. This way we only can learn from indigenous people.

We explore indigenous ways of being, symbiotic with nature.

OUR PROJECTS

Our projects are Transformative and Musical endevours that aim to Honor ourselves,
each other and the Earth the way we learnt from Indigenous people

Retreat/Coliving in Cape Town
2025 - ongoing
Experience Cape Town through the eyes of a local! Our retreats in Cape Town are designed for those who recognise nature and movement as their source of inspiration, physical wellbeing and community building.

The Eco Villa, a river front 5-bedroom sanctuary, supports indigenous wisdom in its all forms. Coliving is therefore designed to support like minded individuals on their journey to a deeper connection with nature, Earth and their own body.

We invite facilitators with groups 4-11 people to run their programs and like minded individuals to join them. It is a tranquil space to rewild your spirit, rejuvenate your body and embrace meaningful connections.
Conscious Movement: Ecstatic Dance in Cape Town
Cape Town, South Africa
2020 - ongoing
Movement and music as a way of life, as transformation ritual that heals, inspires, rejuvenates. Exploring ecstatic dance, contact improvisation, somatic balancing and tribal rituals around the fire - all of it stems from the indigenous community practices, the sources of ecstasy untapped. Greenhouse supports and creates ecstatic dance events in Cape Town.
Expedition to Namibia
Windhoek - Caprivi Strip - San People
2-16 April 2027
Expedition into Indigenous way of life. Embark with us on a journey to Northern Namibia to live with the last indigenous San communities.
After the Fall
Vrygrond, Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa
2025 - ongoing
In the township, we witness alarming trends of teenage violence and abuse of single mothers, together with the lack of safe spaces, where they can heal, nurture and engage with land, art and their own indigeneity.
"After the Fall" is a Clay studio/support center with focus on healing through the art of clay sculpture while providing additional income to women in need.
PEACE Institute
future
PEACE Institute is an educational, research and media platform for indigenous teachers to share with the world, to advocate for nature rights, preserve wild nature and regenerate degraded lands.

Indigenous people have learned over thousands of years how to live in balance with nature. We need to learn from them if we are to survive.
