    Description

    How nice that you found us and are interested in the monastery oasis.
    Together we would like to maintain, use and preserve the former monastery in Neusatzeck.

    We cordially invite you to start this grateful and beautiful work with us with a lot of love, joy, lightness and trust and to become a part of it!

    The former monastery offers numerous and diverse opportunities for:
    - Encounter
    - communal living
    - Yoga, including participation in the daily morning practice under the guidance of the professional teachers here.
    - Wonderful hikes through the idyllic Black Forest, starting right from the doorstep
    - Trips to nearby Strasbourg and Baden-Baden in your free time
    - Inclusion and care services for young and old
    - meaningful educational opportunities that specifically promote human skills and characteristics
    - Working, growing and learning together
    - Own cultivation of vegetables, fruit and medicinal herbs
    - powerful and trusting social circles
    - local economic cycles and regional development
    - personal retreat, relaxation and creativity
    - Health promotion, training, coaching and seminars
    - Varied cultural events
    - Coworking Space (a new form of work that provides office space and infrastructure for various job profiles)
    - Local companies and self-employed people who want to direct their business from the monastery and use synergy effects

    We are vegetarians and drink no alcohol. We prefer not to have Wlan in the house. There is only one room with a little WLAN to synchronize data from handy to computer etc. But we have Lan connection in our rooms. But bring an LAN adapter if necessary.

    The nature around is very beautiful and the air & the view is fantastic. So you can do very nice walks through the forest during your free times.

    In your free time there a nice ways to walk starting at our house to a castle or some waterfalls. Also Strassburg and Baden-Baden is close to visit on weekends. You can also take part free of charge every day at 7:00 a.m. in our yoga morning practice, led by the many professional yoga teachers here in the house.
    In the evenings, some people often stay in our dining hall after dinner to chat, play games, and have fun together.

    Getting to know each other and length of stay:

    Before inviting Workawayers, we would like to have a Zoom call to get to know each other, if that is okay for you. You are welcome to stay with us for a minimum of 2 weeks, preferably 4 to 8 weeks. Stays of 4 weeks or more are preferred so that we don’t have to introduce our dear Workawayers to the house routines only for very short intervals.
    We also like to have a short conversation after one week of your stay, if that suits you, to make sure that you and we feel comfortable together, so that our shared time is as pleasant as possible.

    Ideally, you speak a little German, as not everyone in the house speaks fluent English. This makes communication and having fun together much easier :-)

    Feel warmly invited to make use of and help shape our diverse opportunities.

    ===============

    Wie schön, dass Du zu uns gefunden hast und Dich für uns interessierst.
    Gemeinsam möchten wir das ehemalige Kloster in Neusatzeck pflegen, nutzen und erhalten.

    Wir laden Dich herzlich ein, mit viel Liebe, Freude, Leichtigkeit und Vertrauen diese dankbare und schöne Arbeit mit uns zu beginnen und ein Teil davon zu werden!

    Das ehemalige Kloster bietet zahlreiche und vielfältige Möglichkeiten für:
    - Begegnen
    - gemeinschaftliches Wohnen
    - Yoga, u.a. Teilnahme an täglichen Morgenpraxis unter Anleitung von den professionellen Lehrern hier
    - Wundervolle Wanderungen durch den idyllischen Schwarzwald direkt von der Haustür an
    - Ausflüge nach dem nahen Strassburg & Baden-Baden in Deiner Freizeit
    - Inklusions- und Betreuungsangebote für Jung und Alt
    - sinnvolle Bildungsangebote, die menschliche Fähigkeiten und Eigenschaften gezielt fördern
    - Gemeinsam arbeiten, wachsen und lernen
    - Eigener Anbau von Gemüse, Obst und Heilkräutern
    - mächtige und vertrauensvolle soziale Kreise
    - lokale Wirtschaftskreisläufe und regionale Entwicklung
    - persönlicher Rückzug, Entspannung und Kreativität
    - Gesundheitsförderung, Training, Coaching und Seminare
    - Abwechslungsreiche kulturelle Veranstaltungen
    - Coworking Space (eine neue Arbeitsform, die Büroflächen und Infrastruktur für verschiedene Berufsbilder bereitstellt)
    - Lokale Unternehmen und Selbständige, die ihre Geschäfte vom Kloster aus lenken und Synergieeffekte nutzen wollen

    Wir sind Vegetarier und trinken keinen Alkohol. Wir ziehen es vor, kein WLAN im Haus zu haben. Es gibt nur ein Zimmer mit ein wenig WLAN zum Synchronisieren von Daten von Handy zu Computer usw. Aber wir haben LAN-Verbindung in den Zimmern. Bringe jedoch einen LAN Adapter mit, wenn nötig.

    Die Natur hier ist sehr schön, und die Luft sowie die Aussicht sind fantastisch. Du kannst während Deiner Freizeit sehr schöne Spaziergänge durch den Wald machen. Es gibt schöne Wege, die direkt bei uns am Haus beginnen und zu einer Burg oder einigen Wasserfällen führen. Auch Straßburg und Baden-Baden sind in der Nähe und können an Wochenenden besucht werden.

    Du kannst auch kostenfrei jeden Tag um 7 Uhr an unserer Yoga-Morgenpraxis unter der Leitung der zahlreichen professionellen Yogalehrer hier im Haus teilnehmen. Abends bleiben oft einige Leute nach dem Abendessen in unserem Speisesaal, um zu plaudern, Spiele zu machen und Spaß zu haben.

    Uns kennenlernen und Länge des Aufenthalts:

    Wir möchten gerne vor der Einladung von Workawayers einen Zoom-Anruf machen, um uns kennenzulernen, wenn das für Dich in Ordnung ist. Gerne kannst Du von minimal 2 Wochen bis bevorzugt 4 bis 8 Wochen bei uns bleiben. 4 Wochen und mehr sind bevorzugt, damit wir unsere lieben Workaways nicht nur für kurze Intervalle in die Dinge des Hauses einweisen müssen.

    Auch haben wir gerne, wenn das für Dich passt, nach einer Woche Deines Aufenthalts eine kleine Unterhaltung, daß Du und wir uns zusammen wohl fühlen, damit unsere gemeinsame Zeit möglichst angenehm ist.

    Optimal wäre, wenn Du ein bißchen Deutsch sprichst, weil nicht Alle im Haus fließend Englisch sprechen. Das macht unsere Kommunikation und den gemeinsamen Spaß um so leichter :-)

    Fühle Dich herzlich eingeladen, unsere vielfältigen Möglichkeiten zu nutzen und mitzugestalten.
