    Description

    Hello wonderful people!.

    We are in the beginning stages of a communal living project in beautiful Thuringia, Germany.We are also open to new members (currently Karl-Heinz and I, Milena live here permanently and we have a lot more space).

    We have a free shop with different events. We don't have animals (maybe chickens or runner ducks in the future). The place has a lot of potential and we would like to find more people to join us and create a little paradise and place of connection and culture (we are experienced in fundraising and can help you with your ideas).
    Currently I am relatively busy due to work (3-4 days a week), so this workaway is perfect for someone who also enjoys spending time alone and being independent. It's basically the perfect place to relax in a beautiful scenery while doing some meaningful tasks.

    We have a big garden with lots of fruit trees and vegetables permaculture style. For three years I am in the process of setting up a food forest. This year we plant sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes, pumpkin and a lot more. The perennials are expanding as well :)

    In the garden: sowing seeds, weeding, mulching, planting and no watering😜.

    Handy people very welcome also!
    I am planning to build separate room/tiny flat in the garage building and need help with the planning and also with clay walls, floor tasks, and everything else to turn it into a cozy place. Ideal would be using only natural or second hand building material and becoming self sufficient there. Karl-Heinz is very experienced in building and woodworking and happy to show you how to do those things :)

    Other tasks include art and crafty outdoor projects. Also we would appreciate help with making the garden look more beautiful (whatever that might look like). We prefer to find tasks that suit your interests and skills best :) Hit us up with your ideas!

    Also available: sitting by the fire in the garden or singing mantras (there's a really wonderful mantra singing circle in town❤️)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can learn a lot of different things from us: wild plants, fermentation, communal living, food-forests, languages, sustainable living, energy-efficient cooking, yoga ... And of course our surrounding area is beautiful and waiting for you to discover it :)
    And we also know about all events in the area and can take you along, so it's not boring at all.

    We are looking for helpers for gardening, building with wood and clay! Are you experienced in construction? .. There is something for everyone :) Our main goal is to make the garden a beautiful place to spend time in and have fruits/veggies to harvest and become more self-sufficient.
    Currently we accept helpers for two weeks and longer. In your first two weeks we will have about 4-5 helping hours per day with two days off. When you want to do more and if you stay longer we will give you the opportunity to start your own project here if you like so you will be able to make your own schedule (and be more of a friend/flatmate than a helper). We have a list of independent projects if you need inspiration, otherwise it's up to you :)
