“Arcadia” was a mythical region and legendary paradise in ancient Greece, symbolizing a pastoral utopia and a harmonious relationship between humanity and nature.

Today, we use Arcadia metaphorically as a place - across cultures - that conveys a sense of tranquility and beauty, and embodies a simple agrarian lifestyle with an emphasis of living in harmony with nature.
