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.

    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.

    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.

JOIN Greenhouse community
Our way of living draws from indigenous wisdoms. We believe in minimalism, shared leadership, ecstatic dance as a way to co-regulate in a community and give back to the planet, natural health and living without toxins.

How can we create an alternative system, that respects nature rights and learns from multiculturalism? An eco-centric system?


I am the host, Nadia Ring, inviting you into a space of exploration, transformation and bliss. Here we are for the Earth, looking for ways of balancing the extractions, re-inventing relationships and brainstorming the change - a prototype for PEACE Institute.

"The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it."

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.
