Description
We are Barbara (72) and Rudolf (75), living in a lovely house with a spacious garden where we enjoy living close to nature. We care deeply about the environment and love spending time tending to our 14 beehives and growing our own vegetables.
On our property, we also have a second house that we offer—on a non-profit basis—for seminars and workshops focused on spirituality and connection with nature.
Barbara is a shamanic practitioner and enjoys sharing shamanic ceremonies and traditions with those who are interested.
We look forward to welcoming open-minded, respectful, and nature-loving people into our home and daily life.

Help
We would greatly appreciate assistance in our private garden and with tasks around our home, such as cooking and cleaning. If you're interested in learning about bees, we suggest visiting us between May and October. May is typically our busiest time with the bees. We do not harvest honey from our bees; we maintain them in a manner that respects their nature and for conservation purposes. All tasks you help us with are private, or on a non-profit basis.

Barbara and Rudolf were very nice and treated me from their heart.
