Description
We are located in the beautyful hills in the "border triangle" of Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, where we are creating a Lab for Art, Nature and Awarness.
Would you like to join in and help shape the outdoor area, mow lawns, plant bushes and trees, and carry out renaturation measures on the stream and a former fish pond? There are many and great opportunities to get in touch with nature and work in the orchard and garden. There are a lot possibilities for creative and craft activities such as upcycling furniture and preparing the house and studio for upcoming workshops.
We are well networked with biologists, organic farmers and inovative projects in the region.
We look forward to working with engaged and committed people who share their skills and are not afraid of physical effort!!
About us:
I am an artist, art therapist, art educator and meditation teacher and I am leading courses at this topics in Austria and abroad. For more many years I have been leading the project PAS at the University of Vienna with the aim to bring mindfulness into the education system.
My husband is an architect and very interested in sustainable architecture and also in handicraft and organic farming.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We enable our guests to participate in our many experiences in gardening, living connected with the nature, renaturation, ecological building, artistic and handicraft activities and renovating. We are open-minded, interested people and we are well connected with other inovativ people in this beautiful part of Austria. So you also may have the opportunity to meet our friends and their projects (different kind of organic farms, alternative housing project for communal living, organic wine production, etc.). ...
Help
In the organic garden, on the meadows and in the forest there is always work to do and to learn from each other, planting, harvesting, preparing compost, mowing the meadows, woodwork. There are always new ideas for design or necessary work and upcycling + DIY . Also tools and machines are "happy" to be serviced. May be you are interested in shaping the outdoor space, to plant bushes and trees and constructing fences in a natural way. Renaturalising the pond, floodplain and forest is a wonderful project of a nice community of friends and guests.
When cooking (VEGETARIAN) helping hands are wellcome and kitchen wants to be cleaned afterwards with your help.
In general we are very interested in getting in touch with creative people who are concerned about a mindful and benevolent interaction with others and nature in general. We are very interested in coming into contact with creative people who are interested in treating others and nature with respect and kindness and who enjoy getting hands-on and perhaps breaking a sweat or getting muddy while working.
We expect our guests to be mindful of sustainable use and to treat our lovingly renovated house with care.

every morning (and some times on the afternoon) you work in the garden and after a nice lunch you have a lot of time for yourself, and they can also show you around ☺️
