    Description

    we are michael and rumy
    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. traumata work to get 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 hemp-lime technology from mid-May onwards. A technology that was already used by the Egyptians and has been forgotten. If you are interested in learning this technology, or if you want to acquire the knowledge to build such houses yourself and actively help, then you have come to the right place. learning by doing... I will share with you the knowledge of how to build breathable, well-insulated, stable houses with your own moisture regulation without plastic.
    Therfore we are very happy to have visitors for arround 2 weeks or longer. Long term staying (several months) is also possible. The place is run sustainably, self-sufficiently and organically (permaculture). many fruit trees, a large garden and soon 2 more greenhouses give wonderful food.
    Gardening, building renovation, maintenance of grounds and buildings, construction of new buildings with hemp lime technology and clay are on the plan for 2024. When the time is good, we will start a Zoom building project for spiritual and music experiances.

    michael has been learning, practicing and teaching for over 25 years yoga, meditation, tai chi, Qi gong, shamanism and life. I am happy to share life and its experiences with others.
    rumy is a herb fairy, has therfore a wonderful connection to nature, is a trained therapist, has a talent for organization, loves singing and dancing...
    feel warmly welcome.
