Description
We are an institute, a school, an art and research residency space as well as a stage, a home, a resort, a durational art project, but foremost: a hub for creation of blueprints for the coming world as it supports what is potential in the present on its way towards manifestation.
We host artistic practices, practice-led researches and diverse projects with a focus on imagination and dreaming, ecological and interspecies connection, establishing new cosmologies and languages. We desire to cultivate visionary consciousness, multi-dimensional relationality and our reconnection with nature.
We host weekend and week long creative camps in nature for children and youth.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Taking part in this creative group & space with art professionals, whose research involves dreaming, the presence of this energy and exchange through profound conversations can already change one's perspective - if so wished, else the surroundings in this pristine nature will nurture and support you as you shall work with the ground and grounding. Building with natural materials and setting up a new garden and a greenhouse will also empower you with know-how to establish one for yourself or others at a later stage.
The uniqueness of the place is the quietude and proximity of the beautiful and intense natural environment, thus enabling residents, artists and visitors to immerse and focus on creative/inner work as realignment and reimagining our part in the Earth’s unfolding is important to us.
If u want to live, rest, dream, envision, imagine and create among bears, wolves, deer, birds of pray, countless salamanders and thousands of fireflies, surrounded by the ocean of green, next to a running stream, in the heart of mystery, this is a welcoming opportunity for mutual exchange.
Help
We desire to build a place that is a generator of change, an initiator of transformation, a host for the alternative ways, with emphasis on ecology, circular and gift economy, and sustainable living.
Situated in a pristine nature resort deep in the wilderness of Southern Slovenia we are now opening our doors to Workawayers: in spring 2024 we warmly invite builders and gardeners. A part of the house will be renovated with natural materials, we are also setting up a new permaculture garden and a greenhouse. Skills in those areas are appreciated, but not necessary, since we have a professional support and guidance; we welcome people seeking or even loving to do some physical work in and around the house and its premises. Every contribution counts.

What else ...
Place is situated in a pristine nature resort deep in the wilderness cca 40 min / 30 km south from Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.
A 20 min walk along the stream running next to the house brings you to Iška, pristine river, known for its astonishingly beautiful surroundings that you can walk and explore alone or with a guide.
5 min drive heading South and you come to Bloke plateau. There are numerous marked walking routes in the area that you can explore on foot or on horseback. Bloško lake is also where you can have a summer swim or go ice-skating in the winter. Above the plateau rises Snežnik, the most southern mountain top before descending to the Mediterranean region, with Snežnik castle where the international music festival Floating Castle runs every August.
Approximately 30 min by car is Cerkniško lake, famous for its appearing and disappearing through the seasons. Above rises Slivnica, a mountain famous as a place where witches used to meet. Mysterious Križne caves are simply a must see. These are one of the most beautiful caves of the many that you can visit in Slovenia. Other caves not so far are very known Postojnska jama with a Predjamski castle or Škocjanske caves.
