    Description

    We are a german-american (patchwork) family.
    Dana Maria, 43, Yoga-teacher and Nutrional advisor
    Daniel, 34, musician
    Moira, 10, aspiring actress
    Oskar, 7, superhero

    In the past, we travelled extensivelly and lived in India for a while.
    So, we are very familliar with travelling lifestyle and we volunteered ourselves in different projects (India, Israel, La Palma...)
    We have a 2ha big plot of land that we are currently turning into a space for art, dance, yoga & music. We are planning to host events, parties and workshops.

    Accommodation

    Helper(s) will be accomodated in our beautiful green 'gypsy-waggon' (a nicely renovated and comfortable waggon/roullotte).

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The area surrounding us is mostly local agriculture but there are some alternative projects.
    Our partner-project 'Eotopia' has many visitors and is hosting regular events.
    There is a small but steady infrastructure of cultural events in the area.
    Not much public transportation, but we have bicycles and a car, so we'll work sth out :)
    Important:
    We are looking for a volunteer or a couple.
    We are tolerant to everything in moderation, but there is one rule that is very important to us: non-violence. Therefore, it's important to us that whoever stays on our land, will only eat a vegan diet on our property.

    We are willing to provide (vegan) meals and a simple accomodation in a 'Roullote' (Gypsy waggon). Lifestyle will be very simple and close to nature (as our first project will be to build the outdoor shower and bathroom).
