Description
Casa Patka, where I live with my family, is situated in a small medieval village in Maremma, Italy and it is is very picturesque.
Coming here is recommended for those who love slower rhythms, dark at night and silence.
I teach Sacred Circle Dance from Findhorn, give language lessons (German, English, Italian...), work in an excellent restaurant in a nearby village and love to talk about the meaning and mystery of life, Vipassana meditation, why things happen and their connections....

Help
The help I need is about painting some walls in the house, start a small vegetable garden and fence it, help out with cleaning and cooking, cutting grass and other little tasks needed.
I speak Czech, English, German, French, Spanish and I think that my kids could enjoy and benefit greatly from having workawayers staying at our place.
Workawayers will have their personal space.
