The core principles of each of these systems is to Care for the Earth, Care for people & Fair share.

SARAYA - ECO STAY, ART SPACE, CAFE & COMMUNITY SPACE , GOA

Saraya is a space where people can come together to create, share and experience art, food and live in rhythm with nature.

Saraya - is a co-creative effort, a community space that is growing and coming to become a significant contributor to the conscious Goa Landscape. It is an open sharing space, for ideas and visions to be explored, creating change and being changed in return..

Our Eco Stay has been designed around the existing Treescape and is constructed with natural & local materials. We experiment with local & seasonal foods in our cafe, apart from finding healthy, whole & tasty foods (gluten-free and vegan options available!) We are in the process of developing an in-house Garden to feed our Cafe as much as we can :)

We have an Art/Workshop Space which has been hosting a range of progressive workshops on topics related to Sustainability, Permaculture, Art, Yoga and much more over the last few years.



We are excited to be hosting our second PDC after such a beautiful and productive response last year with so many people attending and so much learned and shared!

Hope to see you at this wonderful learning journey !
