  What's this?

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We love to make music together and make drumming circles at the fire. Can bring deep connection to oneself and nature. We cook healthy food with local wild herbs like stinging nettle. We are at the language border between german and french speaking Switzerland. You can learn different handicraft, carpenter's skills, business skills or learn to play an instrument (many in place).

  Accommodation

  We have rooms, one bigger, one smaller. Garden-House. Tents. Possibility to camp in the garden.
  
  Whether you want to get your own food and work about 10hs/week or 2hs/day less or whether you like to take the ingredients in the garden, in the kitchen, fridge or freezer is up to you resp. up to a mutual understanding.
  
  We're only now opening the space for community life, so at the moment there is not always somebody in the house during the day. But there is always need for meals to be cooked, also to be taken with to the city the next workday. So cooking for all can be part of working time.
