Tan Dorost

Simplicity and Harmony with Nature: The Goal and Purpose of "Tan Dorost"

Tan Dorost is not just a symbol but an aspiration and collective effort that began in the early 1970s, on the mountainous outskirts of Tehran, with limited access to urban life’s comforts.

This group’s efforts initially focused on improving the quality of bread as a dietary staple and later expanded into clothing, architecture, and environmental conservation. In 2004, Dorost became a pioneer in producing and offering natural fiber clothing and practical handcrafted goods.

Harmony of Body and Soul

The body and soul, the inner and outer self, all require care and protection from the corruptions of time. However, no one will grant you this care except yourself.

On this journey, you must strive to:

• Think well
• Speak well
• Act well

Challenges of Modern Life and Returning to Nature

The mechanized spirit of the era, through countless tricks and deceptions, lures you toward factory-made products that contribute to the destruction of Earth’s purity. Yet, you are more aware than to fall for this illusion.

Didn’t people of the past sustain themselves only with what grew from the earth?

• In their food
• In their tools for comfort and rest
• In what they wore

Haven’t we always envied them for their pure souls, long lives, and peaceful days?

Mindful Choices for a Healthy Life

Perhaps it is best to start with the simplest things.

• Choose what nourishes and strengthens the body.
• Consume what originates from the earth and elevates the soul.

Because a healthy body leads to a healthy soul.
