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 live on a 200-year-old farm with several buildings in the seclusion of the beautiful Slovenian countryside, 800 meters above sea level. We keep the various buildings of the farm in good condition and embellish it in a simple way with natural materials using the old hemp-lime technique.
We are therefore very happy to share our knowledge and experience with you. We prefer humans who like to stay at least 2 weeks or longer. Long-term stays (several months) are also very welcome. We want our visitors to know that we are not a place for vacationers or party goers, but that we celebrate being and working with and in nature :-)... we offer a platform for humans 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). therefore we invite you to use only natural soaps or essential oils and no deodorants, perfumes or chemicals.
We attach great importance to a natural lifestyle and therefore avoid genetically modified foods, products and medicines. Sharing the same values helps to harmonize our community life.
michael has been learning, practicing and teaching for over 25 years yoga, meditation, tai chi, qi gong...
rumy is a herb and water fairy, cooks our jummy & healthy soulfood for lunch and is a trained CreaMentoring Coach®
we are happy to share life and its experiences with others.
feel warmly welcome to send us your application with your intention.
