✨ We're Looking for New House & Community Mates! ✨
Two rooms are currently free – ideal for families with kids aged 6–12!
If you're curious about joining us more permanently, feel free to ask for the link to our little questionnaire!
🌿 Welcome, nature lovers, artists & dreamers! 🌈
We are a colorful community in Bernau (Brandenburg), just outside Berlin, surrounded by forests and lakes. Our shared home is a living project rooted in creativity, sustainability, and togetherness.
We’ve been living here for 6 years, and every season brings new magic and ideas. Our place includes:
A large garden and outdoor area
A hot tub and a soon-to-be sauna
A multi-purpose space for film nights, workshops, ping-pong, and cozy gatherings
Two ducks and many dreams 🦆✨
🚐 Vanlife-friendly – we have space to park and plug in.
👨👩👧 Who We Are
A bunch of creatives, queers, parents, and forest lovers:
Ryke (37) – Artist, doula, photographer & mother of Nebel (1)
Max (29) – Biologist, part-time activist & Nebel’s proud dad
Sissi (33) – Tree doctor & jam session enthusiast
Martje (31) – Teacher & activist
Kat (25) – Musician & mom of Neva (0.5)
Hugo (32) – Music creator & dad of Neva
Haike (63) – Fairy energy grandma of Nebel & Freytag, Hypno-Therapist
Ateş (30) – Kindred soul starting life in Germany
??? (??) + 1 () – This could be you! A parent with a child (6–12), or a traveller for a shorter stay until a new family joins.
We also have 3 ducks, 2 cats, and 1 dog 🐾
Our shared values are rooted in love, respect, creativity, and making the world a little brighter – one DIY project (or dance session) at a time.
🤝 What You Can Help With
We’re always juggling different projects and appreciate any extra hands! Here’s what we’re currently focused on:
🌱 Garden & Nature Projects
Light garden care and permaculture-inspired planting
Pond beautification (decor, light planting, and natural design ideas)
Greenhouse TLC: organizing, ventilation setup (non-electrical), and decor
Creating playful nature corners and relaxation spaces
Many DIY projects, big and small
🧼 Home Life & Family Support
playful moments with toddlers
Light household support: cooking, cleaning, sorting
Creating fun activities or educational games for the kids
🍽️ Creative Kitchen & Food Projects
Fermenting vegetables
Brainstorming and experimenting with plant-based recipes
Organizing shared pantry or helping plan weekly meals
Sharing food traditions from your culture!
🎨 Music, Events & Art Facilitation
We regularly host informal community events – small music jams, poetry nights, film screenings, and art sessions. If you love creating cozy atmospheres or co-hosting events like these, we'd love your help in shaping them. These are not commercial events – they’re for joy, bonding, and expression within the household or among friends.
Note: No experience required – just a curious, kind spirit.
🧘 Community Rhythm & Practical Info
Minimum stay: 2 weeks – max open end
Trial period: 10 days in, we check in to see how everyone feels
Meals: We cook one plant-based meal daily. You can cook for yourself anytime using shared basics. Bring your own extras if you like (BIO meat is okay occasionally)
Weekly community meeting: Please join – it’s how we stay connected
Bikes & bedding: Available! Hammock life welcome too
Sleeping options: Shared guest hut (max 4 people), or a private room for singles/couples
Best time to leave: Weekends = smooth transitions
💬 Final Words
We're a house of freedom, intention, and exploration. If you're seeking meaningful connections and don’t mind a little garden dirt or a toddler giggle mid-conversation, we might just be your next stop.
With love,
A bunch of humans trying to make life a little more beautiful 💛
P.S. We stand in solidarity with people affected by conflict – from Armenia to Palestine, from Sudan to Ukraine. Peace everywhere. Always.

Was noch ...
Important: we start with a stay of 2 weeks and then extension is of course possible. But since we are quite a few people its important for us that the energy is right :)
Nobody is forced to help any specific hours, you can take days off as you wish, just be thought- and respectful, walk around with your eyes open and enjoy the tasks you do, if you hate helping with your hands there is no point of coming to a place that tries to live of the land and garden :)
There are a lot of beautiful lakes and forests around, easy to get to by bicycle. City of Bernau is 10 minutes by bike, but theres also a busstop right in front of the house. Berlin is super close too :) And of course the city has everything to offer one can dream of.
