Description
Hello dear traveller. My name is Claudia and 2,5 years ago I bought an old farm for my animal family and myself. I am now living my dream of my own vegan animal sanctuary. Here are living a dog, cats, pigs, sheep, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs and giant snails. My vision is to create a place of healing - for animals, humans, the human-animal-relationship and mother earth. I started alone, now I get support by my partner. But the vision is big and I am happy for every helping hand. And also the ~24 animals are happy about every stroking hand and a hand with a treat. ❤️

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will experience a special place with a lot of love and harmony. Most of the animals here enjoy to get in contact with humans. Every animal has its own personality. I have a deep bonding with animals and I treat them as equals. My life is a kind of Pippi Langstrumpf (if you know her). It's a very relaxed energy here, so also when you are working you will feel a good energy. Most of the time you would be alone (except with the animals) - during the help tasks and also most of the evenings. That means you should definitely be willing to be alone. It's an opportunity to meet yourself and get in contact with the silent voice in your heart.
Help
It is very important to me what kind of energy is used here in the field. Take on the tasks that you like to do and that give you pleasure. For example: caring for the animals, garden work, cutting wood, repairing things, forest work, building shelters, tidy up and creating order, cooking vegan meals, creating art for the place...
Your fix tasks are:
* caring for the animals:
- feeding in the morning, sometimes also in the evening (this includes preparing the food and also collect a lot of meadow herbs)
- cleaning the animal areas (some areas daily, some once a week)
* garden work:
- watering the plants in the morning (sometimes also evening)
- turn the compost heap
- tasks depending on the season like weeding, mowing, planting, harvesting,...
* cleaning spaces:
- especially my working areas and places outside like the entry area, veranda, old sheds,...
The other tasks depend on your preferences and also on current tasks that need to be done. :)
I am looking for people who are sensitive for the needs of the animals, who are helpful, easy-going, and are ready to get working and to jump in where needed. Persons, who want to do this workaway for being a support for the place (and not for cheap holiday or therapy place!).
At the moment I prefer people who have the skill to help with wood (building something, restoring wooden furniture) or artists who want to paint something or create creative spots here on the place. And also somebody who has knowledge about gardening (permaculture) could be a big help for me (because my main time I give to the animals, so the vegetables garden would be happy about some attention).

Accommodation
There is a guest house with your own kitchen, bathroom and toilet. The bed is for 2 persons. There are possibilities for more sleep places (folding mattress). I wish that you support us with 5 hours of work per day. Two days per week are free. You get food for the breakfast, and sometimes we cook and eat a meal together. Most of the meals you have to organise on your own please (it's a nonprofit project, and it costs me a lot of money to supplying the animals, especially at the moment it's financially difficult because of my less paid apprenticeship). Because of my empathy and my love for the animals is our home a vegan place, so there is kindly only vegan food desired.
What else ...
I am living in a small calm village surrounded by nature. My place is around 1 ha big with my own forest (there are living the pigs). You can enjoy the wonderful nature and relax in the heart of Mother earth. The sheep love to go for a hike. 15 minutes from our village (by car) there is a lake and also the next thermal bath. The village is in the middle of the next little cities Güssing and Oberwart.
I am working as a full-time psychologist in the near of my home. Sometimes I also have some clients on the farm for animal-assisted therapy. Next to this I do some energy healing work for animals and humans. I would describe my way of living as spiritual, deep rooted and also flying high. Balance is the key. I love to spend my time with the animals and the nature, creating, experience the magic of my daily life, sitting around the fire (if you can play an instrument it would be great, because I can't) and recharge my batteries from the stillness.
