Description
A cozy community project in the countryside South of Berlin. It's a lively place where we experiment with sustainable and self-determined opportunities for living and working, embedded in a nurturing community of seven people (age 25 to 32).
On our grounds we organise non-commercial seminars for community building and alternative living, open the doors once a month for a neighbourhood repair café and are setting up a permaculture forest garden.
Most conversations in daily life are held in German language and some of our members do not speak English. Therefore we can unfortunately only accept guest that speak at least some basic German.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
project where different cultural elements meet: In our daily life and the management of our projects, we combine elements of non-violent communication, sociocracy, concepts of degrowth and permaculture.
In general, you can learn a lot about hands-on self-organisation, sustainable living and project management. This ranges from facilitation and communication techniques to ecological construction works and gardening.
Spiced with a dose of critique of capitalism.
Help
- renovation (loam rendering, floor burnishing, constructing furniture, lots of other things)
