  Welcome to this profile and welcome to this project - Shall this be a place of peace and love
  
  *********
  Update 18th of August :
  I am looking for someone that can help with some cooking, gardening, cleaning, general help so that I can work more on the construction, building work and in my homeoffice...
  
  
  I am looking for volunteers to support for at least a week or two to help with:
  - painting my mom's bathroom
  or
  - weeding/clearing the property
  or
  -chopping firewood and piling up
  or
  - painting windows with pigmented linseed oil
  or
  - you can support me with rendering with clay
  or
  - refurbishing doors
  
  It will depend on your interests and abilities and of course on what I am working :-)
  
  I would love to have someone here for a longer period :-) No matter what we want to learn from each other - it is always a lot more effective after the first time of getting into. :-)

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:
  
  We are Heike (53) and my mom Annette (78) and we are starting a community place :-) The cat catching the mice here is Mona and the dog is 5-years-old Rocco, both from the shelter.
  Rocco definitely prefers women, with new people he needs a bit until he stops protecting the house and the food ;-) so give him his time :-)
  We are restoring a huge half-timbered manor, a historical monument of 1835. The vision is to create a vivid and peaceful place for a small community and become more and more self sufficient. Personal development including spirituality and holistic healing in today's world is an important part of my life.
  
  As we are still at the beginning of this project - we started in May 2019 - and the manor stood empty for many, many years, there are a lot of different tasks to do within a lot of building work and repairing.
  At the moment it is just me, my cat and my dog Rocco living here permanently. I have just started to work selfemployed - most of it is in my home office.
  My mother is coming over every now and then for a week. She only speaks German. She wants to move here as soon as her little flat is ready - we are working on that.
  We use ecological materials, work with wood and clay and cooperate with the office for the preservation of historical monuments.
  
  I am open for a good, honest and open minded relation in which we can support each other and I am happy to host you for a week or some month - if you are interested in a long term stay let`s get to know each other and talk about it!
  
  I am interested in different types of natural and holistic healing like homeopathy, reflexology, phytotherapy, meditation, yoga, psychology and philosophy and personal development of body and soul.
  
  You can come with your own camper van as well of course and place it in the big garden where you can see the sunrise and listen to the birds and animals of the forest at night :-)
  
  I am curious to get to know you - believing there is always a reason for people to meet each other !

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Since I was young I am interested in all "main human questions" so lets share our ideas and knowledge and see the different (or the same) cultural influence.
  I love self-development, meditation and mindfulness and I am interested in natural and energetic healing and nutrition, reflexology, homeopathy, yoga, herbs...
  
  Sometimes I support little events in a village nearby, you can join me if you want.
  
  You can learn baking cakes and bread (I always make it myself) and german cooking or making our own jam.
  I would be happy to learn about your traditional cooking as well.
  
  I can support with learning german if that's something you would like to improve.
  
  Sitting at the camp-fire every now and then in the end of a day makes me happy beyond wishes and that's something I'd love to share with you.

  Arbeit

  There are upcoming different tasks I have mentioned in the very beginning of the profile.
  
  I made the experience that interested and handy young women can be really happy to learn from another woman how to use power tools or how to do other handicrafts :-)
  
  You can help with cooking and cleaning and general maintenance as well.
  If you stay a bit longer and my doggy Rocco and you got friends you can support with taking him for a walk.
  
  I ask for 5 hours at 5 days from Monday to Friday.

  I am interested in languages and cultures in general but I would need some more time to learn a language as I am not in my twentieth anymore ;-) So if you are staying a bit longer let`s give it a try :-) Improving english and french would be fine.

  Unterkunft

  There is a caravan/trailer suitable for one or two people, you can see it on one of the photos and it has got a gas heating.
  There is a little and simple guest room in an outbuilding as well.
  
  Of course you can come with your own camper van or a tent and place it in the garden.
  
  We share the bathroom, toilet, kitchen (keep in mind that there's no central heating). In the living room there is a woodburner and a piano and a guitar. ;-)
  
  The food I offer is mostly from ecological farming or the garden of course, I cook with seasonal and regional veggies and fruits.
  
  I am lactose-intolerant and mostly I eat vegetarian or vegan meals and am fine with that. Seldom I eat meat, but not from mass production at all and I buy eggs from an ecological farm nearby where I can see the chicken outside picking worms ;-)
  I hosted several vegan travelers so I am used to vegan food and cooking (my son is vegan too). If all of us are tolerant and respectful with each other it will be nice together :-)
  We share a warm meal each day - I am happy if we can do the cooking alternately if you can cook. If not you can support or do the dishes ;-)
  
  I do smoke, but only outside and the volunteers are asked to go outside for smoking as well.

  Was noch ...

  Nature is wonderful out here, there are owls, rabbits, deers, bats and birds around and there is a forest and a little stream nearby. There are historical monuments and some museums in this rural area. In 5 km there is a lake suitable for swimming and also not to forget the river Weser with its cycle path some km's away. Public transport is quite poor but provide a bike. It is 5 km to the station Petershagen-Lahde, where I can pick you up.
