Description
Above Zurich, 2 minutes from the Uetliberg train station, we have an idelic resort, a large garden in the midst of the forest, which we are converting little by little into a permaculture space. In the summer time we have a big round tent for family gatherings, also from time to time we do sweat lodge ceremonies in the forest. Mostly I need one helper, sometimes it is also helpful to have two. In fall, there's also help needed in the garden and around the house to prepare the winter season.
About me: I am an open minded person, mother of two adult children. For quite a while I was working in the fields of counsciousness, yoga, body work & and couching.
Since a young age I am interested in other cultures and traditions. If you like nature and still be so close to the center of Zurich, this place may interest you.
I am looking for people who like to help in the garden, and garden construction, plumbers, housekeeping in the summer time, taking care of the pool. I am open for inspiring and creative ideas also from YOU. For longer stays there is period trial of one to two weeks. I normally only take one person at a time, but this may depend on my needs and the professional skills of the people concerned.
