​Welcome - We’re delighted you’re here!
"Finca" is a Spanish word for a country estate or farm.
"Elohim" is a name used in the Bible to describe God as the Creator.
Finca Elohim is a farm that provides space for rest and renewal and is run and managed based on Christian values.
Vision
​A sustainable farm in southern Spain that inspires, empowers, and gives hope through organic farming, training, and recreation.
Disclaimer:
All offers, activities and programs described on this website refer to the full use of Finca Elohim, which will be achieved after an operating period of at least three years.
​
At present, the visions presented are future goals that are to be implemented gradually. They reflect the planned direction and potential of the finca, which will be built up and expanded step by step over the coming years.
We would like to emphasize that the project is still in the development phase and neither the land where the Finca is to be established nor an existing or similarly pioneering project with the same vision for collaborative realization or further development has been found yet.
Nevertheless, it is very important for us to share the concrete vision of Finca Elohim today in order to reach out to interested parties, develop a strong network and build a committed circle of supporters who will join us in making Finca Elohim a life-changing place in the years to come.
Areas
Organic farm
Finca Elohim provides its retreat place with high-quality, fresh, and homegrown food, a central component of our holistic sustainability concept.
Through organic farming, we not only create healthy nourishment for our guests but also build a resource-rich habitat that we use for training, workshops, and inspiration.
The south of Spain is known for its challenging farm life. Dry barren soil, huge monocultures, and the excessive use of chemical additives have caused severe damage to nature over the years. This has led to the soil being close to becoming infertile in many areas.
​
Organic and resource-oriented, we help to bring creation back into balance by restoring the fertility of the soil and creating a healthy, diverse ecosystem through various sustainable cultivation methods.
As a training platform, we inspire and empower locals, schools, development workers and interested mission teams from all over the world. We offer the opportunity to experience how healthy food grows, starting from seeds and grown with tender care. They not only learn how to treat nature and animals with respect, but also how to process and market their own produce.
​
Our goal is not only to share knowledge, but to empower trained individuals to act as multipliers; fostering sustainable change in their communities and projects.
​
When working in nature, we not only experience its fascinating beauty and diversity, but also God's character more deeply. God’s boundless creativity, wisdom, care, patience and consistency are reflected in the ever-recurring provision of the earth with everything we need.
​​
Genesis 2:15
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
Place for rest and renewal
Finca Elohim is a living oasis, a true Garden of Eden, where guests can find space to rest, process their experiences, and recharge their batteries.
​​
Debriefing – space for reflection and renewal
At the heart of our ministry is a 5-day debriefing process specifically designed to support individuals and couples in times of transition or challenges.
In an atmosphere of comfort and security, we offer the opportunity to reflect on experiences and process emotions, and gain new perspectives.
Empathetic conversations, solitude, and the beautiful surroundings of the finca help to deepen inner healing and enable participants to move forward into the next phase of their lives feeling strengthened and with a new perspective.
​​
Retreat
The holistic well-being of every person is very important to us. We believe that everyone needs moments to consciously slow down, restore inner balance, gain fresh perspectives, and nurture their overall health.
​
The finca offers individuals, couples, and families a time to breathe, recharge, and regain strength. Whether it’s a break from daily routines, a change of scenery, or intentional quality time, everyone can find the right space to meet their needs. With shaded spots under olive trees, a pool for cooling off, scenic hiking and biking trails, and a thoughtfully designed play area for children, the finca invites you to relax, recharge, and fully enjoy your time.
​
A getaway not only brings renewed clarity but also strengthens resilience for everyday challenges and fosters deeper connection—especially for couples and families. In this way, it becomes a true blessing: for yourself, your loved ones, and your work or daily responsibilities.
​
In Connection with Creation
The beautiful natural landscape offers opportunities for moments of meditation and reflection. At the same time, those who wish to do so can engage their body and mind through physical activities.
Anyone interested is welcome to combine both hands and mind by working with plants or animals, experiencing a deeper connection with creation and with themselves, according to their own wishes and needs.
​
Touched by the peaceful atmosphere and the beauty of the surroundings, our guests return to their daily lives with renewed clarity, inner strength, and a fresh sense of peace.

Psalm 23:2-3
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.​
Current situation
What’s currently happening
We, Luciano and Regina, are living together as a family in Andalusia, laying the foundation for Finca Elohim. Along the way, we are gaining practical experience, networking, and deepening our understanding of the language and culture.
​
Organic farming and coachings
Luciano supports projects locally and abroad with coaching on sustainable farming. Our little home garden is a place to learn and get inspired, like a little “Garden of Eden” that shows what's possible.
​
Place of rest and debriefings
Our home is open to guests who are looking for an intentional break to get at peace and recharge their batteries.
At the same time, we welcome individuals and couples who come to us for a guided debriefing to process their experiences and gain new perspectives.
​
Discipleship
In our international church community in Málaga, we lead children’s programs, Luciano is part of a men’s group, and we open our home for bible studies and fellowship.
