Enjoy a balanced and natural lifestyle in Novogorci, Bulgaria

Details

• 

  Description

  We invite people who are freedom loving, yet well balanced and interested in a natural lifestyle. Since 2009 a small group of allies have been living in the small mountain village of Novogorci. At the present time, two of our houses are constantly habitable and the presence of more people would bring benefits to all involved. The external conditions are present - clean air, water and soils, food from the garden, a material base (in process), clarity on how to cultivate our environment and hospitable hosts and associates.
  We strive for a good balance between material life and spiritual practice.
  
  We invite two to four volunteers, middle or longterm, to live with us, help, learn and share. You will acquire various skills on how to design and build your own space of love and abundance. Volunteers will have time for themselves, as well as opportunity to travel round beautiful Bulgaria. If you are people who consider a life in a community, it would be an experience with a great value.
  The neighborhood is relatively secluded, with alternating deciduous forests, pastures and abandoned houses. The location of our ancestral mansion could be likened to a cabin in a semi-mountainous area. The altitude is 500 m, on the south slope, behind us is 690 m and ahead of us is 840 m. Asphalt is 5 km away, the nearest city is Zlatarica (25 km), and Veliko Tarnovo is 50 km away.
  
  Our proposal includes food (we decide who will be chef for the day), accommodation and a material base - an internal bath, good internet access, necessary tools, etc. The hosts do not mind smoking outside of the houses.
  We feed on live food from our gardens and the surroundings, buy what we need, use clean spring water and communicate from the heart.
  You're most welcome to contact us!

  What else ...

  Only 3km away from us is the Moon Valley, which is a place of power. There is a river there, where you can swim or sunbath on the warm flat stones.
  Not far away is Veliko Tarnovo, the medieval capital of Bulgaria. This is where our kings lived in the past and its a wonderful place.
  Nature around Novogorci is actually at the foothills of the Balkan Mountains. So, there are forests, rivers, waterfalls and ecopaths. The Black Sea is a few hours away by car or a train. There are still secluded beaches and places with springing hot mineral water where you can stretch your tent and don't have to pay anything.
