  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  People in the village are kind and willing to help, sometimes we walk to the forest together or the fields, i have learned a lot about plants and mushrooms, knowledge most of which they learn since childhood from their parents.
  There are a lot of traditions still alive in this part of the country and I feel this place is very spiritual no matter how you look at it. If you love plants and want to learn their secrets, if you love people, they will open their warm heart, if you love the earth and the song of birds there are ways to reach the divine, even though sometimes requires some sort of sacrifice, (at least this has been my experience).

  Help

  I have a plan at a small pace, so we don't forget to enjoy the peace and the reason we are here and have met.
  I am alone mostly but sometimes my neighbour gives advice and a friend helped with the roofs and a few other heavy things that needed care.
  Otherwise there is a bit of work left in one shed or two, as they were untill recently with a broken roof, and things deteriorated. Right now I'm still clearing the old shingle around the old stable, that have been removed.
  I have other ideas as well but i hope i can find the right person from whom i can take advice and a bit of help, i'd be so grateful!
