    Description

    Hello dear soul,

    We are Maša, Tevž, and our daughter Anabel – a young family following the quiet calling to return to the land, slow down, and live in deeper harmony with the Earth. A a ago, we found an old, abandoned farm in the hills of central Slovenia. Since then, we’ve been gently bringing it back to life – with our hands, our hearts, and a lot of faith.

    This land rests at 770 meters above sea level, surrounded by forest, birdsong, wild herbs, and the soft rhythm of the seasons. We are slowly building a home that can support a simple, self-sustaining life – a place where we grow our own food, care for the soil, listen to the silence, and raise our daughter close to nature’s wisdom.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Travellers will step into the heart of the Slovenian hills, experiencing life through the eyes of a young family reconnecting with the land. You’ll gain practical skills in gardening, building, and embracing simple, mindful living, all while being part of a journey toward sustainability.

    Here, there is space for inner reflection, deep conversations, and shared rituals. Together, we’ll harvest herbs, prepare nourishing meals, bathe in the forest’s tranquility, or simply gaze at the stars. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in Slovenian culture, traditions, and language, while also sharing your own stories, creative practices, and experiences.

    It’s not just about work—it’s about meaningful exchange, where both sides grow, learn, and become more connected to the rhythms of nature and each other.

    Help

    There’s always something to tend to here – and we welcome kind, open-hearted people who feel called to be part of the journey. Depending on the season and your gifts, you might help with:

    - Spending gentle, present time with our daughter Anabel (3 years old), as she explores, plays, and connects with the world
    - Gardening, planting seeds
    - Small renovation projects
    - Preparing firewood or caring for the land
    - Cooking, preserving food, or sharing quiet meals

    We believe in doing things with presence, not rush. We’re not seeking workers – we’re inviting kindred spirits who want to live, create, and grow alongside us, even if only for a little while.
