    Description

    About us – Lisa & Mario & our association

    We are Lisa and Mario and live with our two children as a family of four on a small and very special place, about four kilometers away from civilization, surrounded by nature, silence and wide open space.

    We share our home with many animals: a horse, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs and a cat. We bought this place in 2020 and for us it is a magical space of peace, encounter and conscious living.

    Our vision is to create a unique living space for humans, animals and nature. We do not run a commercial farm. The animals living here are part of our life concept, considered full members of our community and have the right to live here until their natural end of life.

    A respectful, mindful and compassionate way of interacting with humans, animals and nature is essential to us. In working with animals, we focus strongly on empathetic communication and positive reinforcement. Equally important is species-appropriate animal care and a deep awareness of the needs of each species and each individual animal.

    Together with our project and the association, we are creating a place of well-being, growth and connection – a space to unfold, to enjoy and simply to be.

    What is important to us

    respectful and conscious coexistence

    mindfulness towards humans, animals and nature

    mutual learning and support

    joy in practical work and creative projects

    openness, exchange and community

    Über uns – Lisa & Mario & unsere verein

    Wir sind Lisa &Mario und leben mit unseren zwei Kindern als vierköpfige Familie auf einem kleinen, besonderen Lebensplatz, etwa vier Kilometer von der Zivilisation entfernt – eingebettet in viel Natur, Ruhe und Weite.
    Um uns herum leben viele Tiere: Pferd, Schafe, Schweine, Hühner, Hunde und eine Katze. Dieser Ort wurde 2020 von uns erworben und ist für uns ein magischer Platz der Begegnung, des Friedens und des bewussten Lebens.

    Unsere Vision ist es, einen besonderen Lebensraum für Mensch, Tier und Natur entstehen zu lassen. Wir betreiben keine kommerzielle Landwirtschaft. Die Tiere sind Teil unseres Lebenskonzepts, gelten als vollwertige Mitglieder unserer Gemeinschaft und haben ein Lebensrecht bis zu ihrem natürlichen Ableben.

    Ein respektvoller, achtsamer und wertschätzender Umgang mit Mensch, Tier und Natur ist für uns essenziell. In der Arbeit mit den Tieren legen wir großen Wert auf empathische Kommunikation und positive Verstärkung. Ebenso wichtig ist uns eine möglichst artgerechte Haltung und ein Bewusstsein für die individuellen Bedürfnisse jeder Tierart und jedes einzelnen Tieres.

    Gemeinsam mit dem Verein und unserem Projekt schaffen wir einen Ort des Wohlfühlens, des Entfaltens, des Lernens und des Seins – einen Raum, in dem Menschen zur Ruhe kommen, sich einbringen und wachsen dürfen.

    Was uns wichtig ist

    respektvolles und bewusstes Miteinander

    Achtsamkeit gegenüber Mensch, Tier und Natur

    gemeinsames Lernen und gegenseitige Unterstützung

    Freude an praktischer Arbeit und kreativem Gestalten
