Description
what you can expect:
self-sufficient garden and 2 hectares of land, where you can learn to sow, cultivate, harvest and process food, lots of peace and quietness, cozy accommodation in a separate wooden house with your own bathroom, varied vegetarian food.
Because we also like to travel, we also might need you for looking after the house and our two cats.
We can offer you a bicycle to explore the surroundings or go to the train station. You will reach Graz within 30 minutes by train.
Our best experiences we made, when couples has visited and helped us. But of course we are open for singles too, who want to learn and enjoy talking heart-to-heart with an experienced couple.
We are an open house. Every week we have a dance session (5 rhythms) where friends like to come along, also singing and chanting takes place in our seminar room.
Martin is skillfully crafted and need someone to work along with him. He also is engaged in the local green party.
Andrea is a felt artist who just broke her hand and therefore a lot of work is unfinished. She is happy about your help.
If we don't have 5 hours of work/day, you should be able to cope well with yourself.
