About Us
Our Story of Love, Land & Community
From a dream of sustainable living to one of Romania's first ecovillages – discover the journey that brought us here.
Firiteaz is a small, traditional village in Romania situated about 40 minutes from Timișoara and 20 minutes from Arad. In 2004, a Swiss eco-family fell in love with these lands, moved here and began to develop eco-projects in the area.
Starting with farming and manufacturing, we've made this place our home and, together with friends, we are building a consciousness community around the values we believe in: love and respect for nature and every being.
With this in our hearts, a community center, wooden huts, canvas tents, tree houses, afforestation, and eco-gardens, are all in the vision for this Ecovillage.
Today's world may feel overwhelming and chaotic for many of us. It is the result of a complex history that we are still understanding and integrating as humanity. Thus, it has become a priority for us to reconnect with the true meaning of life – authentic values and principles, the energy of Mother Planet, our own souls.
