  Thanks a lot
  Ugo and MaryAnn

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Ugo is Italian and MaryAnn is half Italian, half American, but grown up in Spain. We have lived for the last 10 years in Hong Kong, so we have quite an international background.
  
  Ugo has attended a PDC (permaculture design course) and a natural building course so he can build the different structures needed for the farm part of the retreat center. He is very excited to share his knowledge and experience.
  
  We are happy people and we like happy, interested in our project and proactive people who care and are happy to respect the house agreements :-).
  We are very keen to arrive to almost a 0 trash impact with our project.
  
  We love animals, and somehow they love us and the many volunteers back.

  We offer a comfortable room with 1 single bed and shared bathroom.
  
  We have a chef that provides fantastic meals. We provide bedding and towels.
  
  Food wise we provide 3 vegetarian meals a day (we cannot cater to vegan diets as our chickens want us to eat their eggs, our bees love giving us honey, and our organic sheep farmers love that we love their cheese, so we use all of these ingredients in our cooking :-)
  Please provide for any specialty foods you want and your snacks.
