Description
My Name is Nina-Vanita and I live on the edge of a small village in the woods near Postojna. The place Tatanka is in the forest on a small hill, along the Slovenian Way of St. Jacobs. This is an off-grid project. I live in a tiny house surrounded by wild nature.
When I came here, the area was completely overgrown. In the meantime, with the help and support of friends, we have created a greenhouse, composting toilets, a yurt, a vegetable garden, hot-composting and much more.
At the moment I am building an a-frame--tiny--house and have many many more ideas like building a sauna, a shower with hot water for my guests and me, a wood stove, a straw house, an earthship, a tree house, rocketstowe ...and these many times requires more hands :).
The energy in this place is very nice and very special. Some evenings I hold meditations by the fire, do shamanic rituals or give spontaneous coaching sessions if there is a need and the energy is right. And sometimes we have personal growth workshop weekends.
This is a good place to relax, spend time in nature - without media, ground yourself and to be in contact with your heart.
During your stay you can use all your skills and abilities, contribute to the development of the site and learn new skills along the way.
During your stay you can feel at home with us. You can stay in the yurt, in the Tiny-House, in your own tent or camper on the site and use everything we have already designed. We use compost toilet, wifi is available in the main house. Helping hands are welcome. We create friendship and friends like to return.
