    Description

    we are rumy and michael
    creating a private place, to live in connection with nature. spirituality, art, music, dancing and sharing life and its wisdom, are part of our daily experience. inner freedom, quietness, connection with ourself, with pachamama... love to life (=Biophilia :-)

    we are renovating an old farm with several buildings in seclusion of the beautiful nature of Slovenia, 800m above sea level. We renovate the old houses using only natural materials with old hemp-lime technology.

    therfore we are very happy to have visitors who share the same values and stay at least for 3 weeks or longer. Long term staying (several months) is warmly welcome too. We want our visitors to know that we are not a place for vacationers or party people. we want to offer a platform to people who are truly interested in living in nature and want to live this connection again with joy and ease.
    the place is run sustainably, self-sufficiently and organically (permaculture).
    gardening, building renovation, maintenance of grounds and buildings are on the plan for 2025.

    michael has been learning, practicing and teaching for over 25 years yoga, meditation, tai chi, qi gong...
    rumy is a herb and water fairy, has therfore a wonderful connection to nature, is a trained creamentoring coach, loves singing and dancing...

    we are happy to share life and its experiences with others.
    feel warmly welcome to send us your application with your intention.
