    Description

    Hallo dear one,we are family of four- Radi and Nikki and our two kids-
    Ram(8) and Vyara(5).
    Since 8 years we live in a village called Ranentsi near Kiustendil,Bulgaria.
    We both are artists and work from home- Radi(my husband) is a painter
    and has different skills.
    Now he mainly works with wood and in the house`s projects-building,gardening.
    Me(Nikki) work with plant dyes and textiles,natural dye workshops,i
    make jewelry from leader,crystals and beadwork.
    I have a eco cloth brand-called Zemna Project(you can chek my work in fb or
    instagram- Zemna Project by Mama Magica(fb) and @zemnaproject
    (instagram).
    We have an old barn that now Radi is working on and renovating - we
    want this to be space for natural dye workshops and different kind of
    crafts and lectures about village life-gardening,composting,natural
    building where people with deep experience can share.
    We homeschool our kids and as they are growing we started to need more
    help and other kids(which we dont have in our village)so earlier
    this year we bought a second place with an clay house in the same
    region(Kiustendil) where there is an amazing kid project and space
    going on
    called "Live with love" - its a kids camps where kids learn different
    kind of skills and art with different teachers and artists-
    so we and our kids became part of this project.Our second place is
    called Smolichano - its so beautiful,there is a waterfall 5 min away
    from our house,amazing nature,river,church. So now we have been
    between this 2 places-they are 45km distance from each other- we need
    help
    for both- like building,gardening, helping with the kids- we prefare a
    couple which one can help Radi and other Nikki with the kids,
    of course its not neccessary to be a couple just we prefare. Radi
    needs more hands with the building work-so strong man are very
    welcome.

    We really hope to find the right people to come and join us ,
    if you feel THATS YOU ,
    PLEASE WRITE US .

    WE have water, electricity and internet.
    We mostly eat veggetarian food.
    we offer 3 meals per day .
    Sleeping in a tent.
    Our village is called Ranentsi, its 100 km from the capital of Bulgaria, closest city is 15 km away , Makedonian border is 10 km away.
