Description
We are a family (Marina, Ronny and 3 year old Lume) experimenting with an alternative lifestyle at a very small traditional city in a countryside full of nature. We are also enthusiastic travellers and we love to discover new cultures through meeting people. We host friends all the time, in our starting farm. Here, we don't establish preset cohabitation rules, rather than believe in free interaction, based on mutual trust, lots of dialogue, taking care of the common rooms and respecting every person limits. In this way, we construct environments where love becomes inevitable.
We need help keeping the house and our farm projects on a day to day basis. We have chores in yard keeping, house organising and general maintenance. We work with bioconstruction, permaculture, agroforestry / organic farm, small animals, holistic therapies, artsy hand-made projects, non violent comunication study groups, children caring, slow and funciontal food, and cohabitation events.
It will be a pleasure being able to share our space and our lives with you all! Call us!
