  Beschreibung

  Welcome, everyone! We are thrilled to share our heartfelt mission of revitalizing village life. We are a young couple, full of passion and excitement, who left the hustle and bustle of the city behind and embarked on a journey to the enchanting village of Oslen Krivodol in Bulgaria. We are now transforming a depopulating village and meadow into an artistic zone with a campsite with workshop space. We want to support the village's cultural life and bring back the life and the people here by creating an artistic platform. We are now building the infrastructure and also working actively on the extension of our biodynamic farm.
  
  Together, we have launched an initiative where we collaborate actively with the locals in our village and the surrounding village and aim to create better conditions for the rural development and the thriving communities while promoting social equality.
  We are a small village with small amount of people, but a good mission. A team of individuals with big hearts and pure intentions fuels our NGO. Together, we work to organize inspiring cultural, artistic, social, and ecological projects as well as an amazing festival within the cozy embrace of Oslen in august.
  
  We extend a warm welcome to all those who are inspired and awake, embracing a life close to nature and with consciousness of the holistic approach. We are thrilled to meet the passionate and brave changemakers, the courageous souls, and the individuals who dedicate themselves to everything they do.
  
  Our doors are open wide to those who are unafraid of stepping outside their comfort zone, and who are eager to contribute to a better world. You are welcome to embark on an adventure, where personal growth and collective transformation go hand in hand. We welcome you on a harmonic schedule , where you can contribute to construction work / other hand work, while we gather the community and have sharing circles once a week, singing circles and good moments of joy and being together in the nature!
  
  
  However, in order to ensure a smooth integration process and meaningful participation for both sides, we generally accept volunteers for a minimum of two weeks. This allows ample time for getting acquainted with the project, fellow volunteers, and the overall rhythm of life at the campsite.

  We have experience with volunteer initiatives and facilitation of groups, as well as team building. For us the sense of community is very important, that is why every day we make a short sharing circle in the end of the day , sharing needs, thoughts, stories, or good energy. We want to hear everyone and be sure how can we make you feel better. This creates a positive and inclusive atmosphere, which we really enjoy. Friendships after volunteer camps stay deep in our hearts. In general the village is quiet, we are not so much people there, at least there is an event or we gather a group volunteer camp.
