  Description

  We are a family with a 11 yo child, a dog and two cats. We are refurbishing an old house using traditional, natural and permaculture methods. I teach foreign languages, work as a family consultant, write books, organise women circles etc. We do permaculture gardening.
  We are planning to adopt more dogs from an animal shelter soon.
  We belong to a local alternative community and a food coop. We organise together many events like cooking meetings, concerts, heart sharing circles, etc
  it takes an hour by train from Wroclaw to get here.
