Radhadesh manages 47 hectares of land in Durbuy, Belgium, where the organization is developing a model of spiritual ecology rooted in harmony with nature and self-sufficiency. Much of the land is forest, with the rest including gardens, pastures, and built-up areas. Their ecological initiatives include tree planting, composting, forest restoration, and protecting biodiversity. Through their Premaculture project, the organization promote regenerative farming, working toward local production of vegetables, grains, fruit, milk, and honey. The organization also integrate renewable energy (solar panels, biomas heating) and groundwater collection systems. These efforts are not only technical but deeply spiritual, aiming to inspire a lifestyle aligned with the principles of bhakti yoga. The organization regularly host thousands of visitors each year, offering guided walks and educational content to promote awarenes of land restoration as part of a sacred duty.
