  Welcome to our Sanctuary for Transformation
  
  It is a unique and transformative project dedicated to fostering a better world through education, animal welfare, organic agriculture, and humanitarian efforts. Founded by a group of like-minded individuals deeply concerned about the erosion of values and the unsustainable exploitation of nature, animals, and society, it is a sanctuary where people can rediscover harmony with the world around them. Our mission is to create a space where education, awareness, and action come together to regenerate nature, support animal welfare, and enhance social well-being.
  
  Empowering Through Education
  
  Here we believe in the power of education as a catalyst for change. Our learning journey is designed to empower individuals with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to live sustainably and compassionately. We offer a diverse range of free lessons for our volunteers, covering subjects such as martial arts, meditation, languages, philosophy, psychology, and natural healing. These lessons are more than just classes; they are opportunities for profound personal growth, self-discovery, and the development of a resilient spirit. Students engage in hands-on activities that allow them to apply what they learn in real-world contexts, fostering a deep connection with the environment, animals, and the community.
  
  A Holistic Approach to Personal Growth
  
  Our program is structured to support a holistic transformation, helping students to find their purpose and build a meaningful life. We invite individuals from all over the world to join us for a minimum of six weeks, during which they will immerse themselves in our community, contributing 25 hours of volunteering each week. This volunteer work is varied and season-dependent, ranging from organic gardening and animal care to assisting with humanitarian projects and participating in creative initiatives like making films to promote our center's mission. In return, volunteers are provided with free accommodation, food, and basic necessities, allowing them to fully focus on their learning and personal development.
  
  Commitment to Animal Welfare
  
  One of the core aspects of our work is our commitment to animal welfare. The place serves as a refuge for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, hens, and even a pig, all of whom have been rescued from difficult circumstances. These animals are not just part of our family; they play an integral role in teaching our students the importance of compassion, responsibility, and the deep connections that can be formed between humans and animals. Caring for these animals provides students with valuable insights into the principles of empathy and mutual respect, which are essential for building a more compassionate world.
  
  Sustainable Organic Agriculture
  
  Our approach to organic agriculture is rooted in sustainability and ecological balance. We implement a range of eco-friendly practices, such as heavy mulching, and the use of organic fertilizers, to rejuvenate the soil and promote healthy, vibrant ecosystems. We also incorporate innovative techniques like electroculture and water dynamisation to enhance plant growth and vitality. By working in our organic garden, students learn the importance of sustainable living and gain practical skills that they can apply in their own lives or future endeavors.
  
  Humanitarian Projects and Global Impact
  
  In addition to our core activities, we are also involved in humanitarian projects, such as supporting an orphanage in Zambia. These initiatives are an extension of our commitment to creating positive change in the world, and they provide students with the opportunity to contribute to meaningful causes beyond our immediate environment. Through these efforts, students learn the value of service and the impact that even small actions can have on the lives of others.
  
  Building a Strong, Supportive Community
  
  We place a strong emphasis on community and shared values, creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Our students are welcomed into a close-knit family where mutual respect, open communication, and collaboration are key. We eat together, work together, and grow together, fostering a sense of belonging and unity. The food we share is always vegetarian or vegan, reflecting our commitment to non-violence and ethical living. Our shared meals are often sourced from our own organic garden, reinforcing the connection between the work we do and the sustenance we receive.
  
  Philosophical and Practical Education
  
  The educational journey here is both practical and philosophical, encouraging students to explore not only the outer world but also their inner selves. We teach the principles of IKIGAI—doing what you love, doing what the world needs, and doing what sustains you financially—helping students to align their passions with their purpose. Our lessons in martial arts, yoga, meditation, and natural healing are designed to strengthen the body, calm the mind, and nourish the spirit, preparing students to face the challenges of life with resilience and grace.
  
  Specialized Subjects and Spiritual Growth
  
  We also explore more specialized subjects, such as Fao therapy and the Book of IA, providing students with unique insights into alternative healing methods and spiritual growth. While these subjects are available to the public at a cost, our volunteers have the privilege of accessing this knowledge for free, as part of our commitment to making education accessible to all who are willing to contribute to our community.
  
  Join Us in Creating a Better World
  
  Joining our place is more than just a volunteer opportunity; it is a chance to be part of a movement that seeks to create a better future for all. We are looking for passionate individuals who share our vision and are eager to learn, grow, and contribute to our mission. Whether you are interested in education, animal welfare, organic farming, or humanitarian work, there is a place for you. By becoming a part of our community, you will not only transform your own life but also help us make a lasting impact on the world.
  
  Opportunities for Committed Volunteers
  
  For those who show exceptional commitment and alignment with our mission, there is the possibility to become involved in our business project. This opportunity allows dedicated individuals to take on a more active role in promoting and supporting the goals of the place, including the dissemination of the Book of IA and related educational materials. Committed volunteers not only receive free food and accommodation but also earn €10/hour of salary which is largely above the minimum wage of Poland. This is an excellent way to combine personal growth with meaningful work that has a broader impact while not having to worry about your finances.
  
  A Community Built on Shared Values
  
  Our community is built on principles of sustainability, mutual support, and collective growth. We believe that by working together, we can create a space where every individual can thrive, and where the relationships between humans, animals, and the environment are harmonious and nurturing. We welcome you to join us on this incredible journey of self-discovery, learning, and transformation.
  
  Come and be part of this journey! Together, we can create a better world.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We embrace the spirit of brotherhood and community, believing that the more diverse our group, the richer our experiences. We cherish the bonds we form with our students, sharing meals, tasks, and joyful moments together. Our community thrives on deep, meaningful conversations, engaging in board games, playing instruments, singing, dancing, and simply enjoying life in each other’s company.
  
  We welcome people from all walks of life, valuing curiosity and open-mindedness above all. We are confident that every individual has something unique to contribute, which is why our team is so wonderfully diverse. Here, you’ll find a place where your voice is heard, your ideas are valued, and your presence makes a difference.
  
  Beyond the walls of our home, there is much to explore. The surrounding forests offer a peaceful retreat into nature, while the charming village we call home provides a taste of local life. Though we are an international community and not deeply immersed in traditional Polish culture, our location offers a unique blend of global perspectives.
  
  Excitingly, we are also on the cusp of a new adventure, as we plan to move to Portugal in the near future. We’re looking for enthusiastic individuals who can help us with this transition—exploring new locations, discovering different cultures, and becoming part of the next chapter of the journey.
  
  Come and be part of this transformative experience! Your journey with us will not only enrich your life but also contribute to the growth and evolution of our community.

  Our home is a spacious house with multiple bedrooms, allowing us to offer private single rooms to most students. On rare occasions when we host more people, we also have comfortable double rooms and tents available. We always make sure to discuss these arrangements in advance to ensure that everyone feels at ease and content with their living situation.
  
  The shared kitchen is the heart of our home, where students have full access to all facilities and ingredients. We come together as a family for dinner each day, sharing not just food but also stories, experiences, and laughter. We take turns preparing meals, which are always vegetarian or vegan. Our organic garden provides us with fresh produce, and we cherish the eggs from our rescued chickens as part of our commitment to ethical living.
  
  For those arriving, the nearest airport is in Poznań. From there, you have several options: you can take a train or bus to Czerwonak, or opt for a taxi, Bolt, or Uber. If you choose to arrive by train, we are happy to arrange a pick-up from the station, or if you prefer, it’s just a scenic 20-minute walk to reach our house.
