    Description

    My name is Olga Maria. I am 39 years old mother of two sons Kazik (11 years old) and Zygmunt (8 years old).

    We live in a small village full of artists, builders, gardeners and farmers. You have a chance for music and dance jam sessions, drawing and graphic class, to see a real blacksmith in action, take a massage, horse ride to the forrest... and many more.

    I am a creatores of little organic nest for living and growing in happy, free and in clean atmosphere. We try to live close to nature and restore our relation with Mother Earth. Try to live more slow tempo and enjoy every conversation and simple moments of a day. My family lives in a strawbale house where we have a room and attic for hosting a volunteer or a couple of volunteers. Next by stands tiny wood and clay house for rent.

    I am a bodyworker and shiatsu therapy practitioner. I fascilitate playfight circles. I can teach contact improvisation dance. I run a little manufacture with handmade soy wax candles and essential oils. Hobbistically I play on mandoline in an Orchestra.

    We have 2 cats that live outdoor, Bonifacy and Filemonka, and one old though very vivid dog named Bąbel.

    My sons can help in different house maintance tasks. They can teach you how to use some of the tools and show you... how to make a knife. They allready started to do it proffessionally and sell their customknifes.

    I welcome co-creation and help with taking care and developing this place. I try to use permaculture design approach and follow my intuition with it.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The volunteers can experience a quite and simple life in the wild, clean and natural surrounding. They can take advantage of social and cultural life of our local community (such as concerts, music and dance jams, artcraft, theatre, dance workshops etc.).
    Our village is surrounded by two big forrests and small hills with the horses grazing outdoor. You can hear cows, goats, hens, ducs, gooses here and experience a kind of surrogate of the old days small scale farming.
    You may chat with friendly villagers and very possibly meet citizens of all over the world who come to rest in the agrotourstic farms in Nowina.
    You can benefit from all the goods of wild nature – hills with old beech forres, wild animals, small streams, places where grows wild herbs and wild eatable plants.
