Hi, welcome at our project:D

I am Urša, living at quite a big farm in the countryside with some other people being around more or less often :)

We are a small family-friends living laboratory where different ideas, values and interest are gathered at one place with one simple mission: to connect with nature, practice permaculture, natural building, do a lot of DIY and homestead practices and at the same time live in simplicity, joy and harmony among each other and the environment.

The project is situated on an old farm, which is being slowly renovated and reconstructed. There is a never ending task of refreshing the antique buildings :)

In next months the focus for the volunteers will be on helping with building a cob wood floor for our barn and a clay plaster to renovate it.

We look for people who are skilled at some building work, can work with wood and other natural materials or at least are motivated to do so.

Besides this, there is always a hand with gardening or daily cooking tasks etc... needed. There might be a help also appreciated regarding some digital media tasks like webpage, promotion materials etc... these are things to be done beside the main task.

It is our interest especially in couples or 2 people coming together so there is a some social engagement and help with everyday tasks present.

Currently it is very tranquil/quiet at our place and there might happen that it will be just me (Ursa) and sometimes my brother around, helping, working with you and coordinating tasks.

You can get a room in a house/ sleeping in a barn/ a tent, shared kitchen and bathroom. We will cook most of the meals together and some you will do by yourself. At some points it might be that you also work only by yourself...

I believe we can have a friendly, nourishing time.

The work we would engage in is very physical and down to earth, with quite some engagement needed at some points.

At the same time I would emphasise that spiritual dimension of life is very present at the space/at our daily work so our days daily include some time for daily routine/connecting/aligning. It is nice if also volunteer have a value in dimension of self-care or at least understanding for it...

Our regular activities in general
(in case of you coming here, there is a possibility to learn, get experiences from all of these areas)

Field of work: green skills, permaculture, natural building, new earth paradigm, shift of consciousness, inner work, cleaning, preparing place for events, digital media and marketing, natural body care, art (the place is an old pottery workshops), shamanism....

At this point of time anyone of us living/staying here likes to have a lot of individual space, so when volunteers staying with us it is our wish/requirement that they are also able to spend some of their time by themselves and organize their time on their own. We can give suggestions for trips in nature, give you good literature, share nice practices, but we are not around all of the time.

There is one big house + two small houses (natural built cobhouse + tinyhouse). Volunteers are staying in the big room in the big house unless agreeded otherwise. The option is also to sleep on a ban or put a tent on a meadow.
There are 2 barns at the property, big meadow, 2 big fields, awesome forest garden :) and a lot of forest. Close to the old house there is a local village road, so one can sometimes hear some noises. The house is in a small village close to town of Celje. 10 minutes cardrive to highway and well connected with Ljubljana.

There is a local village road near the house, so one can hear some noises of the cars around the house (just to let you know what to expect), but the meadow and forest are away from it so there one can experience 100% nature vibe.
Was noch ...
We are easy-going people and would love someone with good energy that is highly motivated to help us. It is also important that the person is able to organize his free time and spend it on his own. We can offer some options (like cycling, doing stuff in the nature), but you would be left to spend some time on your own as well. We would appreciate a person who did similar work in the past and has some experiences with physical work. But what is even more important is that you have the will to work and learn something new.
