    Description

    This SPACE IS A PLATFORM FOR SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT AND JOINT CREATIVITY
    What we have now is a reatreat and festival centre with multiple glamping possibilities on top of the hill with magnificent views. A community of like-minded arising.
    All of it was done by volunteers and is maintained and developed further by them.

    You can read more about our place : ask us for the link

    From June to October, we host various retreats, festivals, practices and seminars. Together we create the conditions for these events, and we also participate in them as one big family with love in our hearts! Conditions for participating as a volunteer: fill out a questionnaire, and pass an interview with a senior administrator.

    Terms of providing from Team Space:
    - accommodation in a three-person yurt or a place under your tent
    - two full vegetarian meals from our chef
    - daily practices, meditations, compatible activities
    - contact with our masters and spirit guides, yoga teachers and other talented people
    - participation in our Space events

    What we're going to do in 2024:
    - host music and soundhealing festival and a number of retreats and educational events
    - build some eco houses
    - improve our infrustructure: kitchen place, yurts, interior of the house, showers, etc... (see below for the full list)

    //

    We’re excepting volunteers for a 7-day trial period. If everyone is productive helping with each other, we offer a longer stay. We’re most interested in volunteers who can stay for a few weeks/months or longer.

    There's no fixed schedule or hours of help. Generally, we discuss our tasks, and then you decide how much and when you're willing to contribute. We sometimes have urgent tasks and helping for more than 5 hours a day is possible. In this case you can take a few extra days off afterwards. We encourage everyone to take responsibility for the amount of help they do, and for their inner well-being and balance.

    //

    We don't eat meat, so we provide volunteers with 3 excellent vegetarian meals a day, or all ingredients needed to cook it :) The kitchen is where we love to experiment, and everyone is welcome to join.

    Please note that alcohol, smocking and drug use are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in our space.

    //
    This is, for sure, our wildest dream: The place for unleashing the best of us. To thrive outside we start from within, and share it with the world.

We are amazed by their passion every day and still cannot thank them enough.

  • Help

    Help

    Our main tasks for 2024:
    - Assembling festival infrastructure for summer: geodesic domes, yurts, showers, toilets, kitchens, sauna... Finishing our small winter house.
    - Decorating, creating art objects. We like to work with natural materials like wood, stones, moss...
    - Maintaining all above mentioned. Cleaning, fixing, organizing stuff is always needed.
    - May be designing and building greenhouse, solar dehydrator, and maybe biomeiler. If you’re physically fit and have experience in construction, your help can be very valuable.

    You can also teach or facilitate a class for other volunteers anytime you like, or become a part of our festival program. We're hosting events (mostly in June-September) connected to yoga, meditation, dancing/movement awareness, alfa-gravity, singing, breathwork, massage, ethnic music, clay modeling... and lots of other human artistic expressions.

    You can participate in any events for free, just make sure that your tasks are done or that someone else can fill in for you.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    In April-June and September-October you can live in one of our yurts which are electrified, have beds, pillows, blankets, electric bedsheets and carpeting on the floor. Typically there are 1-4 volunteers living in one yurt.

    In July-August most yurts are likely to be occupied by our visitors, so we can only accept volunteers who come with their own tents. (However, a few exceptions are possible.)

    -----> When you write a request for June-September please tell if you come with your own tent.


    WIFI works well, but in case of overloaded network we can provide you with local SIM-card (which is super cheap by European standards) for a fairly good mobile Internet.
