  Welcome to our place,
  
  It is a small-scale ecological residential community, with an Demeter vegetable garden and large greenhouse. We live and work in this beautiful place, which we care for with love. It is also a holistic retreatcenter with a seminar house/group accommodation, sweat lodge, sauna and nature campsite. We live here with 11 grownups and one baby, together with our chickens and 7 cats.
  
  Volunteers are a very important pillar for our association & eco-community. It is thriving and can always use extra hands! This way you can work on all kinds of tasks and/or odd jobs for one or more days. During your stay you will get to know our beautiful place and its inhabitants. You can personally experience living and working in a community.
