You will stay in a beautiful, creative place in Drahnsdorf in the countryside around Berlin. So you will enjoy the country as well as the big city. We are establishing a place for creatives and research towards developing atmospheres that enhance creativity. Also we work in that field professionally as a professor for communication design and as architect, philosopher and dance therapist.
Arbeit
In this summer need people to help in the garden with cutting, planting and permaculture. If you have already some knowledge in gardening, this would be great.
Always welcome: Good knowledge on mostly wood tasks: There are many exciting tasks here with wood, woodsheets, plantboxes and there is also very old furniture here, that needs to be repaired in some places.
We currently would prefer workawayers who are also good with tools!
We welcome somebody who has knowledge in social media and search engine optimization from now on, would help us also al lot! Best would be in german.

Julia was with us for over a month. She was a great addition to the whole team. She is a very talented artist who took magical photos of the place, painted walls in historical style and baked wonderful cakes at midnight. She was also a sensitive, interested and inspiring conversation partner. We wish her all the best for her future trip!
