  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We live simply, without luxury, and you can expect the same; we all sleep outdoor (tents, hammocks, etc.), so it's good idea to take your camping equipment with you, if possible. There is no stable electicity connection, sometimes we turn on generator for a while if needed. You can charge a bit small electronics (phone, ebook reader) by riding on stationary bicycle. No wifi, mobile signal is quite weak. Bathroom facilities include compost toilet and solar-heated shower. Laundry is made twice per week. Gas stove and bread oven made of clay in outdoor kitchen. Quiet, small room in cellar is adapted for meditation.

    Our daily meals are eaten together like a family, where we get to know each other, discuss the day and share our experiences. We eat vegan and welcome anybody to see how varied and delicious it is. Very important part in our daily schedule is bonfire on every evening, when we sit around, talk, play music and have fun.
