    Description

    We are a nature based permaculture self-sufficiency community. We are four individuals, composed of friends and family, forming the foundation of the community, along with the kids and all the helpers and part tackers.
    We came together here, to the beautiful and rural hillsides of the Savinja river, to follow our mission and to live a real life, in harmony with nature. We are creating an independence, in producing our own products, foods, shelters and overall solutions and are taking up the responsibility to create our own life's instead of merely following given concepts.
    And all this here in the beautiful country Slovenia. Wherever you look there are big wild forests. It has one of the richest biodiversities in whole europe and you really get to experience that here. We live close to the mountains and not far from the sea in midst of other amazing countries and cultures.
    You will love it :)

    We are creating a temple, and we want to share this experience with you!

    Right now we are searching particularly for people who want to learn and help to create a structure with raw and natural materials.

    We are investing energy and money in this project for many reasons. But mainly we want to have a big communal space which is multifunctional and can serve various purposes, for example temporarily hosting future groups of volunteers ;)

    So if you enjoy working with natural materials, along side nice people and friends outside surrounded by forests hills and creeks, then you are the right person. It's enough if you are passionate and sincerely interested in this kind of project.

    It is our wish and vision to let participate as many people as possible, to teach everyone how simple it can be to build a eco friendly house. So this time you help and learn with us, the next one we build with you for you ;)

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have a cozy guest room, for two people, in the main house, where the communal kitchen and living room are located.
    And if the guest room is taken we have very good tents, thick inflatable matts and everything you need to enjoy beautiful nights on our meadows under the stars. (From here you can see the milkyway very good)
    Some people also wanted to sleep in our hay barn before, or in the forest cave, that is pretty nice too ;)
    Lunch is being served for everyone, and we eat all together at the big tables. Breakfast and dinner (usually is also served with some exceptions) is selfserving or some people team up to create something together. But everyone is free to take from the pantry whatever they like and when ever they need something. And if someone needs something special, my sister goes every monday down to the valley to buy groceries for the whole community for one week.
    Food which is prepared is mainly Vegetarian. We have a lot of our own vegetables, fruits and nuts and herbs. And there is a big storage full of homemade fermented stuff, like sauerkraut, kefir, kombucha and fresh sprouts we usually grow as well.
    Everyone eats very good at our place.
