A living community where ancient wisdom meets modern innovation—through Earthships, permaculture, and soul-nourishing food.
Our 7,000 sq ft demonstration site is a thriving ecosystem where we test, refine, and teach regenerative practices that actually work in the tropics.
We practice biodynamic gardening principles combined with permaculture design—creating soil that heals, plants that thrive, and food that nourishes deeply.
For 40 years they said it couldn't be done. We're proving Earthships can work in humid climates with innovative water-cooled systems and smart design.
Everything you see here, you can learn to build yourself. No expensive kits. No "island tax." Just practical knowledge shared with an open heart.
Where ancient Ayurvedic wisdom meets modern nourishment. Each dish is a meditation—prepared with intention, infused with life force.
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."— Hippocrates
"This isn't just cooking—it's a meditation, a prayer, and an offering."
Alex is the only cook at Prana. Every single meal is prepared with the focused intention and spiritual awareness that transforms ordinary food into healing nourishment. Following Sattvic principles, Alex cooks without onion or garlic—ingredients believed to disturb the mind's clarity—and infuses each dish with gratitude and love.
Pure oils, grains, and spices sourced with care and respect for the earth.
All oils and grains stored cold to preserve vital life force.
Presoaked grains for purity, easier digestion and enhanced nutrition.
Only natural sweetness from fruits and traditional preparations in desserts.
Cooking with intention, gratitude, and spiritual awareness.
With the sacred exception of pure Desi Ghee for those who choose it.
From building the UK's first Earthship to solving tropical climate challenges—Alex has spent two decades proving that radical self-sufficiency isn't just possible, it's practical.
Not because it's "green." Not because it's trendy.
Because it's the most practical path to genuine freedom.
Beyond the bills you see
Utility bills are just the start. Infrastructure charges, rate hikes you can't control, property taxes funding systems you'll never use. Earthships eliminate an entire category of extraction. No corporation dictates your terms when you're simply not connected.
Not survivalism. Sovereignty.
When grids fail, supply chains break, and prices spike—your home keeps producing power, collecting water, growing food, maintaining comfort. This isn't alternative lifestyle idealism. It's practical security you construct with your own hands.
Error-tolerant by design
Forget specialized tools or years of training. Each tire is self-forming and self-aligning. Mistakes are nearly impossible because the tire constrains what you can do wrong. Complete beginners build solid walls in their first week.
40 years they said it couldn't be done
We spent decades proving them wrong. Water-cooled thermal mass, smart ventilation, humidity management that actually works. What you'll learn here thrives in Koh Phangan's heat—tested, refined, proven through 20+ years of lived experience.
Flip the equation entirely
Conventional homes extract: monthly bills, maintenance costs, endless replacement cycles. Earthships produce: electricity, clean water, food, comfortable temperatures. This isn't reducing consumption—it's becoming the source of everything you need.
800+ tires. Thousands of bottles. Zero waste.
Materials everyone throws away become structures engineered to outlast conventional homes by generations. Earthquake-resistant, fireproof, termite-proof. The world's waste transformed into your family's shelter for the next hundred years.
"For 40 years, they said Earthships couldn't work in humid climates.— Alex Leeor, 20+ Years Building Earthships Across 3 Continents
I'm here to prove them wrong—and teach you how to do it yourself."
We're building Koh Phangan's first tropical Earthship as a living classroom—proving sustainable living works in paradise.
Every workshop includes hands-on experience with:
Want to see it in action? Join our Sunday or mid-week workshops to get your hands dirty and learn skills that will last a lifetime.
Skip the expensive mistakes. We offer personalized consultations for site assessment, design, and construction planning—specifically adapted for tropical conditions.
We believe true freedom comes from knowing how to care for yourself, your community, and the land that sustains you.
Radical self-sufficiency through natural building. Off-grid homes made from recycled materials that provide water, power, and thermal comfort.
Work with nature, not against it. Design systems that regenerate soil, conserve water, and produce abundance without depleting resources.
Ancient agricultural wisdom meets holistic ecology. Treat your garden as a living organism—honoring cosmic rhythms and soil vitality.
Theory is good. Mud on your hands is better. Choose your path to self-sufficiency below.
The perfect introduction. Bring the family, get your hands in the earth, and learn the basics of permaculture and natural building in a fun, low-pressure environment.
Stop fighting the island. Concrete cracks in the salt air. Learn to build massive gravity-dam retaining walls and indestructible steps using tires. Permitted globally, perfect for the tropics.
Whether you're curious about your first workshop or ready to build your own Earthship, we're here to support you every step of the way.
