Eco-Permacultur Project
„Nature Island Dragonmill"

"Our old ways are mostly memories, but our ideas march to their beat."
-Squaxin tribal elders.


And thats how it started: We Remember :
In summer 1999, at the European Rainbow Gathering in Hungary, our dream of a holy Permacultur Dragonplace started,
that became what we now call „Nature Island Dragonmill" . We were searching whole Europe ...
even to Sri Lanka ... Schweden ... searched for 3 years until finaly the dream became truth.
At October the 30th 2003 a handshake made the deal perfekt ! lol !
... to buy thy old Mill of Schweta, in todays called Saxony.



The Dragonmill, a place like from ancient times … as the Dragonmill-Island is surroundet by folldplains, alders, ditches,
smalls creeks …, fields and woods ...
a tumulus and just across the ditch in direct neighbourship there is a protected area for spring- blossoms- flowers.
Since 2007 the Nature Island of her Dragonmill is in the middle on " FFH " (Flora and Fauna Habitat) area of the European Union.
For the preservation and further cross-linking of passages (Wolf) and habitation areas for Flora and Fauna in whole Europe!
This is becomming a new big task, and a lot of local engagament is needed ...
A bit further in our bio region … the more than 700.000.000 years old Collm-vulcano, hill graves, stone circles,
and a „Dragon“-limetree aged more than 1200 years …
... the Mill its self, like it stands now was rebuild approx.. 1849 from boulders and slate ...
what was before it is a secret showing up slowly... the first proofs of humans here date back approx ... 150.000 to 200,000 years.
This was an stone axe, found just behind her Mill and is now in Dresden in a Museum,
besides this there were finds from the entire history of last thousands of years. Like 5000 Years !
 A ancient historical and important place next to the Collmvulcan and the Elbe!
Schweta!

To the property of the Monument-Protected Mill still belong
a big nice old baking house, granary, barn, vault stables, beehive and a picturesque chicken house!
All the buildings are settled around a paved and from herbs covered court !
To the property belong up to now: 5 hectars divided in: Yard and buildings, grassland, fruit meadow,
forest (with a tumulus) and the system of ditches and streams for her Dragonmill.
Our 11 goats and 6 sheep help us with the extensive landscape conservation,
above all they give us fresh milk, wool, and its daily animating Meck Meck Meck, some times also meat and skins.
A smal crowd of ducks  and  chickens take care of the snails and process our leftovers,
on the compost pile , what brings us also fresh eggs to e.g. bake mmmmh...
Next coming 4 Waterbuffalos for thy forest work and a Milk-Cow Family !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The goal of the "Nature Island Dragonmill" and us is it, to create a durable eco place for Workshops & Seminars  
as well as a dynamic exchange of experience!
Without any capitalistic background.



And : What we Realy want is :

BioRegional Animism / Permaculture / Sustainability

 >> Living in a world, were all humans take care of there environment, in order to make a live near
to nature possible for future generations,
with the aid and co-creation of all of the other than human persons that compose our bioregion.
so that our relationships with the source of our being is reciprocal and sacred in nature.
A solidary society, in which dreams,
ideas and conceptions can be realized self-organized and base- democratically. <<

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this sense we also founded the „Association to conserve independent ecological ways of live“.



The Associaion expresses, what our main focus is:

-to experiance and understand Mother Gaia (earth) as a living beeing.
-The future of our children, in conformity with their nature.
-A way back to the naturalness and to independence.
-Natural Sustainable Development (holistic).
-To reconcile culture and the wildness again.
-To develop ourselfs in and with nature.
-Discovering new (old) life possibilities from nature and converting them in everyday life.
-Self-providing organic food, without affecting, exploiting or even poisening the ecological system.
-species- and nature- appropriate husbandry + extensive grazing of the marshes, wet and dry meadows
in der Kulturlandschaft Döllnitzaue. In the cultural landscape Döllnitzaue.
