Our place at the Island, is a space for for focalising creativity and amazing musical, dance and art events.
The 1 hectare of land from above looks like an Island surrounded by a variety of Trees, Bush, Scrub and Rosehip. It is set in the countryside of South Bohemia near to the wonderful Sumava forest.
I am a professional musician, videographer and artist involved in a variety of projects. The intention for the space is to use it as a studio for professional recording, artist residencies, events and non-profit local festivals.
I have worked with my project Jono Heyes and the Mama Yeva Project music now for almost 15 years alongside musicians from more than 20 countries, performing at venues and festivals that promote ecological and social justice around the world. It is my dream to bring people together to experience incredible music and stage design.
Over the summer there will be numerous projects and opportunities for people to help us.
This coming summer in 2021, we plan a worldclass session with international artists in the Beehive Recording studio. On top of that we are looking forward to making artist residencies as well as establishing an Orchard meets Food Forest.
On top of these projects, the goal over the next years to surround the space with an amazing Orchard meets food forest. This would not be for sale but rather with the goal for providing food for people who stay in the space, sculpture gardens and art installations.
Using permaculture these and other creative organic approachs to gardening that is for self sustaining
For visitors there are plenty of beautiful spots in nature to visit nearby including the Sumava National Park where there are unique fauna and flora. In the midst of the sumava are also many old historical sites, celtics ruins, majestic castles such as Rabhi and Kaspersky Hory. Next to the property is a unique geological site where its possible to find crystals and other unique stones. The nearby village of Volyne has for a small town of 5000 inhabitants a rich underground cultural scene with regular concerts, film screenings and a wonderful little museum.

Tiny Home/Maringotka/Caravan or Tent depending on how many people are already on the land
There will be food available for breakfast and lunch, for the dinner we will share the preparation of a collective meal.
All the meals will be vegetarian, with an emphasis on fresh and local food and ingredients.
It will be possible to cater to specific tastes and needs, just let me know prior to coming what your needs are and we can try our best to dance with them.
We are most happy to meet people who have a creative spark, artistic, musical to come to our place and create on any these projects.
Around the area there are many old historical sites, like the old Celtic Castle Obri Hrad, then also interesting and strange places connected to the communist times.
Would be out pleasure to take you to some of the cultural spaces of the area, for concerts, and some of the more powerful nature excursions in the Sumava area such as the Vydra, Horska Kvilda and around Kasperske Hory.
