Almarte: A Movement for a Regenerative Future

Almarte is more than cacao—it’s a movement. We are building a global network of visionaries who believe in a world rooted in love, trust, and sustainability.


More than a business, we are a community-driven foundation dedicated to:


🌱 Creating intentional communities and eco-villages in harmony with nature.
🌀 Connecting people through cacao ceremonies, retreats, and gatherings.
📖 Sharing knowledge on regenerative living, conscious relationships, and holistic well-being.

Günther is a visionary Earth magician, permaculture expert, and co-founder of Almarte. Originally from Austria, he spent years working as a food inspector before choosing a different path—one rooted in regeneration, sustainability, and hands-on transformation. Over 15 years ago, he relocated to the Dominican Republic and began restoring a piece of degraded cattle pasture. What has emerged since is nothing short of remarkable: a thriving, biodiverse food forest and one of the most respected permaculture farms in the Caribbean.


Under his care, more than 100,000 trees have been planted, including 60,000 cacao trees representing a diverse mix of 13 different varieties and hybrids. His farm is not only a source of exceptional ceremonial cacao, but also a living example of what is possible when nature is given space to thrive.


In addition to his work with cacao, Günther is also known as one of the top artisan cigar producers in the Dominican Republic, managing both a small-scale organic tobacco farm and a high-quality cigar factory—each reflecting his deep commitment to craft, patience, and excellence.


At Almarte, Günther brings a wealth of practical knowledge, especially in permaculture, land regeneration, and food systems. He is the engine behind our farm and our vision of sustainability. For many who visit the land, his work is a powerful reminder that paradise isn’t found—it’s cultivated, patiently and with love, one tree at a time.

Misha is a community-builder, creative entrepreneur, artist, and co-creator of Almarte. Originally from Poland, he has spent the past 10 years traveling across Europe, Asia and Latin America, building genuine relationships with facilitators, retreat organizers, artists, and conscious communities. His focus is on creating meaningful connections—between people, projects, and places—with ceremonial cacao often at the center.


With a background in fire performance, tattooing, music, and art, Misha brings a creative and hands-on approach to everything he does. His journey with cacao started as a personal passion and naturally evolved into a way of bringing people together, sharing presence, and supporting projects with real purpose.


At Almarte, he’s responsible for partnerships, outreach, and supporting others who want to work with cacao. He believes that cacao is more than a product—it’s a tool for building relationships, regenerating land, and creating a culture of trust, joy, and collaboration.

Misha works from the heart, learns as he goes, and is always looking for honest, aligned ways to grow the Almarte vision with others.

Atlas of Ownership

Foundation for Intentional Community

Tamera – A Healing Biotope

The Atlas of Ownership platform provides a global map featuring numerous projects owned in diverse ways. It prompts the question, "What is ownership?" and seeks to transparently showcase the various existing ownership structures. This is because ownership is a concept we construct. Otherwise, how could one person 'own' a piece of earth?
