About Me
Hello! Our names are Arsen and Tsvetomila, we are the founders of the NGO association.
For the past 5 years, we have been building the eco project in the Balkan maintains, focused on permaculture, ecosystem restoration, sustainable living and healthy food. We enjoy sharing knowledge and learning from others.
To be able to explore, together with like minded people, in global scale, we established NGO association.
The Organization is a non-governmental, non-political, and non-religious association working for the public benefit.
At that moment we are 7 members and 5 local volunteers, running 2 projects at same time.
1. Our first project is to clean the nature from the garbage and to motivate people to be more responsible, we clean around 2 hours per week.
2. The second project is building a place for sustainable craft.
Very soon we will finish this projects and we will move to the next one, we will keep you updated.

Accommodation
We offer a peaceful wooden eco-house surrounded by nature and beautiful mountain landscapes.
Depending on the season and availability, volunteers stay in shared rooms with up to four sleeping places.
Cleanliness, mutual respect, and good communication are very important for environment of everyone.
Food is also an essential part of our project and daily life. We run a sourdough bakery and regularly prepare fresh bread, homemade meals, and healthy food made with care.
Our lifestyle is connected with healthy, vegetarian, and sustainable living, so we try to use good-quality ingredients, local products and traditional methods whenever available.
Life here is not luxurious, but it is peaceful and deeply connected with nature.
What else ...
In your free time, you can enjoy the beautiful surrounding nature, forests, rivers, mountain walks, and nearby villages. The area is great for hiking, relaxing, photography, reading, meditation, exploring local culture, or simply disconnecting from busy city life and reconnecting with yourself and nature.
Sometimes we also organize small social gatherings, music evenings, creative activities, or visits to local places and likeminded people.
The nearest town is accessible by local transport or car, and depending on our schedule, we can sometimes help with transportation when possible.
Our house rules are simple and based mainly on mutual respect, communication, and shared responsibility.
Please respect the people, the space, and the surrounding nature.
Help keep shared areas clean and organized after using them.
We appreciate honesty, kindness, and open communication.
Quiet hours and personal space should be respected so everyone can rest comfortably.
Smoking, alcohol and the use of drugs are not welcome in our space.
Everyone is encouraged to participate positively in community life and daily activities.
If something feels uncomfortable or unclear, we prefer direct and respectful communication instead of misunderstandings.
We are not looking for “perfect volunteers,” but for good-hearted people who want to share, learn, help, and grow together in a peaceful and supportive environment.
