Description
About us:
We are a newly founded community project in beautiful Seelscheid, a cute little village in the remote countryside 1 hour out of Cologne. So we have it all =) the lush nature (its a 5min walk from our doorstep into the forest) as well as good public transport connection to the big, vibrant city of Cologne.
We live in an old farmhouse, surrounded by a garden, animals (chicken, sheep, a cat). We share our garden, sometimes meals, talks, beers or coffee with other family members who live next door.
What we believe in:
We are a conscious community, we cherish radical honesty, political/ecological/spiritual awareness, free from any dogma. We are intentionally co-creating a new paradigm of non-violent being together. We strongly believe in free will, clear boundaries and alignment.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a very lively und multifaceted community project and love to engage in conversations, work happenings, sharing circles, music and many more. We are super open to find synergies with the people who feel called <3
Help
Right now we are mainly busy with the gigantic project of remodelling the upstairs living area. So if you happen to have some handy skills and you enjoy using your hands mindfully then you will find plenty of things to do.
Right now specifically:
- painting
- floor work
There is also loads of possibilities to join us in maintaining the house and/ or the garden. Do you enjoy cooking? Gardening? Be our guest <3
If you are good with kids it would be awesome if you can commit to partake in the childcare of the 7year old living with us (picking from school, playing in the afternoon).

Accommodation
During your stay you will have your own private room with a shared bathroom/toilet on the first floor. Be prepared to be woken by the sound of the roosters down the street ;)
Please note: as we all run on different schedules, there will not be shared meals on a daily basis.
You are however super welcome to cook (we order fresh from a super nice organic farm and we partake in food saving here and there).
What else ...
You are most welcome to explore the surroundings of the Bergische Land, famous for its pittoresk hiking routes (explore the Kräuterweg and learn about local healing plants). In a couple of minutes you can reach the bus which leads you to major cities (Cologne, Bonn, Dortmund...) and also fancy places like the Mediterrana, a 52.000 qm big Spa side.
