  Description

  About Us / About the Project
  
  This means beginning — a place where things are built with intention, care, and presence.
  
  We are creating a small, evolving project focused on conscious living, simplicity, and meaningful work. This is not a retreat or a commercial operation; it is a living space where structure, creativity, and inner awareness meet everyday life.
  
  Our project combines:
  
  - Hands-on practical help (land, house, maintenance, creative building)
  - A calm, respectful environment
  - Space for reflection, learning, and personal growth
  - Shared responsibility and clear communication
  
  We value people who enjoy creating with their hands, being present, and contributing to something that is slowly and thoughtfully taking shape. There is no pressure to follow any belief system — openness, curiosity, and mutual respect are what matter most.
  
  Workawayers here are part of daily life, not just helpers. In exchange for your contribution, we offer a peaceful environment, learning through experience, and the chance to be part of something at its early stage.
  
  This is ideal for people who:
  
  - Appreciate simplicity and nature
  - Are flexible
  - Like building foundations rather than consuming finished results
  - Want an experience that is grounded, human, and real
  
  This is a beginning — and you are welcome to be part of it.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Cultural exchange at happens through shared daily life — working together, eating lunch together, and simple conversations. We enjoy exchanging skills, perspectives, and life experiences with people from different cultures. Hosting Workawayers is a way for us to learn new approaches to living and working, while offering a calm, respectful environment in return.

  Accommodation

  Workawayers stay in provided tents in a clean, safe area on the property. We provide the tents and basic sleeping setup; you may want to bring personal items for extra comfort. Lunch is shared together on working days, and there is space to store and prepare your own food outside working hours.
  
  We provide three meals a day in exchange for help. When possible, we eat together and share meals. If not, we provide food so Workawayers can cook for themselves.
  
  I provide products and facility to prepare basic meals.
