Join our Permaculture-Project in Emersacker, south of Germany.

I've just finished staying at the Mahlerhof for 3 amazing, wonderful weeks. I've come away feeling deeply nourished by the whole experience of being within the community, working together to tend the land, care for the ground and produce and then to be fed directly from it, with gratitude and a sense of awe at how bountiful a permaculture area can… read more be.
I met very dear, authentic, loving souls, Martin, Vroni, Katharine, Florian, Marion my hemp harvesting buddy, Judith, Andreas and Clara, not to mention the other volunteers.
The work is varied and interesting. Martin has created an amazing permaculture area and shows the volunteers how to do each task.
I loved everything about this experience and will hold it dear in my heart! I found it hard to leave. I think my roots felt recieved there and they wanted to integrate into the system!!!! :grin: Thank you everyone..... I hope we'll meet again!!! Xxxx

I stayed three weeks at this wonderful place and it was a very intense and positive experience for me. Many interesting people come together there - the people who live in the community and that the community works with, other workawayers, guests,... At the beginning, it was a little bit difficult to find my place in between all these people, but… read more at the end I really felt at home and I am very thankful that everyone became so open towards me and that we shared a lot of discussions, meals, experiences like dancing, singing, workshops,... and of course the work at the field.
The work is perfect for everyone who is interested in gardening/ permaculture and it's not too hard, so everybody can do it. And the time passes by really quickly when you have inspiring conversations at the same time :)
Thanks to all of you and especially also to the other workawayers!

I spent one month in the community and it was strong and very positif experience.
It's the young community - which means that the house where they live goes through changes (I was one of the first volunteers there so we shared kitchen with the community but very soon, there will be a special dining room with kitchen for volunteers in the ancient… read more stable which was going throw reconstruction during my stay) but the spirit and principle of the community are well settled - friendly attitude towards the people, respect, frank behaviour...
The community is not big - six or seven people (+ Martin and Vroni from permaculture) but the house is allways open to their friends and other people who come for several hours or several days...
If you spent some time with members of the community, you can see them dancing, singing mantras, perhaps making the sun (or moon) ritual, beekeeping, exulting at new born chickens, discussing the gendre question, gathering the herbs and and and... :-) And it seems that they attract the people with the similar life attitude. All the volunteers I've met there - Paola, Max, Pia and Philip - were interesting and likeable personalities.
Moreover, the village of Emersacker is surrounded by the beautiful forests which are interlaced by many foot and cyclo routes. You can go by foot from Augsburg to Emersacker mainly throw the forest. (If you like walking. It's about 30 km but perfect way.)
In short, it was my first workaway experience but really great.
