Description
Hello nature lovers, builders, artists, dreamers :)

we are just forming a small community very close to Berlin. To the subway and trains its only 10 minutes by bike, 30 Minutes to Berlin city center, 15 minutes to beautiful lakes and 5 minutes to the forest.
There are several free rooms and sleeping spaces and we really need some helping hands.
So far there is Ryke (32): an artist, photographer, doula, herbalist and her daughter Freytag (3); Magali (48): a linguist, painter, nomad; Johnny (26): tailor and art historian; Magalie (yes, we have two)(24): musician, tailor, creator of all sorts; Falk (48): handyman in all directions.
We all love living close to nature and try to stay radically honest in our communication with each other.

Hello dear community! We were 3 weeks with very funny and crazy people. Each one has a different energy and that made it more fun! The place is very beautiful, it has forests and lakes to explore! We were working on the construction of a greenhouse, but the winter days were not very friendly for outside work, however there is always something to… read more

Robin Hood on a bicycle, how to put you into words on screen..?
Paul has been with us for quite a while during a not so easy time in the beginning of our project, when everything was still totally out of place.
He was an outrageous help, since he's enormously dedicated in helping to make any place more practical and also aesthetically valuable.… read more

I came here for a week and ended up spending nine. An amazing place, with querky good people. Ryke is a wonderful host who gives a lot back, sometimes I feel that she is too generous and some volunteers do take advantage of her good nature. Norman, Ryke's ex partner and father to Frytag is a battle rapper with a laid back attitude. While young… read more

So here I am after two weeks spent in a lovely company of Rika, Nohmann and their beautiful daughter Frytag! It was my first Workaway experience and I would have stayed longer if not for my University.
The place is a quite big house with a garden in the German countryside, though close to Berlin (20 min by train). Some of the rooms are being… read more

I spent a bit more than 3 weeks in the community.
I did a lot of different jobs around the house : from helping Magali in the kitchen (and learning a looot of good recipies from her :) to more manual work ! During the time I was there, I helped cleaning and renovating a cabin in the garden, made some things for the chicken hut, cleaning a roof,… read more

What a wonderful young woman, clam and very easy going. Julie was amazing to have around, always smiling always interested to learn new things, even harder, heavier work and super eager to help with everything. Super tidy, sunny energy and very caring. Also a great company for a child.
Would always be happy to have her here again :)

It was good to have Paul around, he is a very smart man with the very best intentions and a good heart. Also a very strong and reliable, helpful worker. He's done a lot for us here and we are more than thankful he was here for the time he was (around 6 weeks I believe). We are sure he will match greatly with one person, a family with bigger… read more

Left by Workawayer (Paul) for host

A laid-back place with a wide range of tasks that need to be completed. I made some things for the chicken hut and was part of a team that worked on making a fire pit. I also fixed a roof and did lots of manual work, such as moving roof tiles from one place to another.

Food is plentiful, there is generally one hot meal per day, sometimes two,… read more

Aaach Carlalala, crazy little butterfly. Or axolotl? Definitely a special cameleon. Whatever she works with will decorate her neck. A bit chaotic here and there but easy enough to oversee this, as she is just such a lovable creature and hard worker. You won't expect it because she is quite petite- but she is surprisingly tough and strong as… read more

Karl was amazing to have around! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to join us in these times of the start of our project. He seemingly knows how to do everything, is very willing to do hard work and help where he can, cooks wonderful pasta and if there are auras, his is always radiating. Great story teller, too. He really became a friend… read more
