Description
UPDATE> Spring is here. Still a bit chilly but sun is shining more and more. Nature is waking up. It's time for cleaning, renovating, preparation of soil for planting and gardening. So we are looking for a willing, task-oriented man and/or woman willing to make hands dirty and use muscles, to help me and my partner with various tasks around our habitat. Singles or Couples are welcome.
We invite you to spend an adventurous nature-loving full of positive energy time with us in a countryside rural/forestry area, 40 km from Kielce, 100 km from Cracow, 200 km from Warsaw in Swietokrzyskie voivodship where I own 1.7ha land surrounded by a forest yet not far from Gnojno village.
I call it Krysztalowa Polana (Crystaline Clearing) because of its pure energy and a crystal clean water stream bordering it.
We live in love with nature and all innocent creatures, free from TV or radio, free from alcohol, cigarettes, meat, or so-called medicinal herbs, and beyond external conflicts and divisions. We have two outdoor cats, one dog and few beehives.
----------
Our place is open to helpers (men and women) loving work outdoors in nature. Now we offer a private place in a caravan set on our property, but if you have a van there is plenty of space to camp. We have electricity and fresh water from our well. Language spoken Polish, English, French, Russian.
MIN stay 1-WEEK or 5-working days.
I need help with:
- maintenance of my permaculture garden & eco-habitat (digging, collecting dry branches, mulching, watering, preparing garden / soil for the season etc)
- harvesting fruits, vegies, wild herbs, mashrooms
- creating improvement solutions around household / garden,
- helping with renovations, painting a wooden deck
- helping with household tasks, cleaning chores
- cooking vegan / vegetarian and making preserves
- collecting dry wood for fireplace and heating stove.
- help with beekipping activities if interested
Besides, general gardening knowledge and interest, physical strength and manual ability, practical handy-man and carpentry skills. Creativity in finding solutions and using on-site available various leftover construction materials is very much appreciated.
------------------
I’m Anna, Polish nature lover and born traveler.
I have traveled the world, lived shortly in the US and many years in Switzerland. Now back to my roots I create my permaculture based eco-habitat place on earth nearby where my ancestors come from in Poland.
I live here with my partner Dominik who is much more setteled
I love forests and I’m an energy healer, therapist and a life coach.
Some time ago I got out of the corporate world and turned my life upside down. Ever since I'm a happy being, a bit outstanding with my alternative beliefs, yet pragmatic and open-minded at the same time. I can easily relate to people from the ‘reason and money-driven world’ who want to experience a change, as well as those who are already ‘heart driven' beings.
I speak fluent English, French and Polish (of course). Communicate in Russian and get by with Italian as well.
The conditions are good for a scout-spirited people wanting to recharge their inner batteries and experience living by the rules of nature, by the daylight and the firelight, drinking fresh source water and bathing in a stream, eating VITARIAN, VEGAN or VEGETARIAN, gardening and harvesting gifts of nature from a lawn and a forest....
well... there is, however, electricity and gas for cooking, and I buy some ingredients from local farmers in a village or bring it from the city where I go on average once per week. There is a phone network reach, but no internet unless you have it on your internet-phone card).
The place is meat FREE, smoking FREE and alcohol-FREE.
You can take it as a detox opportunity if you are an omnivore.

In my opinion, Michal had no interest in doing the physical outdoor work required in a countryside settlement. He claims to be a photographer and video maker but I had no need for making a media portfolio of my place. I clearly stated I need a helper for min stay of 1 week to help… read more
