    Description

    Hi I am Matthias, and I found a beautiful house in Eiershagen. Which we want to transform into a nice community & retreat Space. Our goal is to create a unique space for creative encounters, workshops, and cultural events by renovating a charming old house, including transforming the attic into an inspiring area for art and community.

    What drives us is the vision of making art and culture accessible in rural areas and providing a platform for creatives. The place is meant to become a vibrant place where people come together, learn from each other, and grow collectively.

    Our team consists of a small, passionate group of people who are enthusiastic about art, culture, and sustainable community projects. We love being surrounded by nature, working creatively, and bringing new ideas to life.

    Why you’ll love being here

    Eiershagen is situated in a picturesque rural area, surrounded by forests, hills, and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding and finding inspiration. In addition to working on our project, you’ll have the chance to enjoy nature, experience local traditions, and become part of a creative community.

    We not only offer you the opportunity to contribute to a meaningful project but also a warm and welcoming environment where you’ll feel at home. Whether you’re skilled in crafts, enjoy gardening, or want to share creative ideas – you’re in the right place with us!
