GaudíLab is a school and campus project for regenerative sustainability in the Colònia Güell (Santa Coloma de Cervelló, Barcelona), driven by the founder of True Regenerative. It will bring together hands-on training in regenerative agriculture, permaculture, and water and landscape management on a living campus, learning by doing. Currently in the design phase.
Tell us what your team needs to learn. We start with an assessment, design and plan with you, and put the plan into practice on your farm. Training and support continue in agreed stages until the team can manage the work independently.
