About Ermitaj
Ermitaj, a haven of greenery dedicated to harmony between humans and nature
Drawing inspiration from natural ecosystems, we are developing a living and evolving project built around multiple activities and interactions. Open to new ideas and collaborations, Ermitaj stands as a unique space where resilience, creativity, and sharing intersect.
Ermitaj as a ‘Third Place’
A Place of Passage and Anchoring
Ermitaj serves both as a refuge and a convergence point for individuals in transition, learners, travelers, digital nomads, and local actors.
A Living Laboratory
We aim to provide space for the application of concrete solutions to individual issues (well-being, education, networking) and collective challenges (appropriate technology, regenerative agriculture).
A Collaborative Space
A place where project holders are never alone and can rely on occasional or regular support.
An Ecosystem of Opportunities
A space where everyone can contribute, learn, and benefit from available resources (tools, library, vegetable garden).
The Pillars of Ermitaj
Education and Transmission
Courses and workshops to explore the principles of sustainable landscape planning: permaculture, eco-construction, craftsmanship.
Social Experimentation
Development of innovative practices for sustainable communities (from coworking spaces to our renowned self-managed work camps).
Hosting Space
Tailored solutions for those who wish to come alone to recharge, work, or get involved, as well as for groups (trainings, team-building, school groups).
Community Anchoring
Building bridges between local actors, visitors, project leaders, and residents.
Autonomy and Resilience
A place with all modern amenities where the production of food, water, and energy is mostly independent from the grids.
Connection to the Territory
Rooted in our local environment but open to regional and international dynamics.
