Description
We are Eva & Yaniv, we met in Amsterdam on the dance floor of a beautiful ship named Odessa.
We started a non-profit organization- a community hub for art, culture and nature. We are on the very beginning so everyone who passes by has an impact on how it develops. We did a lot of volunteering projects abroad ourself and worked often in teams. So we know how it is to be new to a place, to travel, to be a guest but also be a host and how nice it is to meet new people. We hope that we can bring you everything you dream of going on a work-away adventure.
!! There are 2 villages named Beek (Ubbergen) in The Netherlands. We are in the one close by Nijmegen in Gelderland! Be careful when you search for it in on your google maps!
We both studied at an art school combining crafts, story telling and material knowledge into innovate projects. We are always curious in meeting new people and hear stories:
What are the stories that shaped your world?
We are a couple one born in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and one born in Jerusalem. We adopted a stray dog after it came walking inside our woodwork studio in Jerusalem, his name is Bench.
We like to host outdoor pizza making nights.
We love to work on our own art and design projects.
We love to teach and introduce other people into arts and craft.
We go often for a swim.
We love to cook and eat vegan food.

Help
We are couple on the border between Netherlands and Germany!
We started to renovate an old horse carriage house on the edge of a forest.
We come from a city so we miss a bit the social part,
therefore we would like to host you via work away.
We started to be at this place in August 2021, we host now and then small community events and gatherings.
We mainly want to get to know you and we are curious to hear how you like to develop yourself.
So we take into account that the time you spend with us is also very valuable for yourself.
We always have a mix of physical work you can help us with: such as workin in the garden, building a platform, if you prefer we also can receive some help in digital things, renovating things made of wood, cleaning en maintaining things....
We can teach crafts, arts, wood working, glass, ceramic, drawing, writing, painting....
So just send us a message and let's see how we can make each other happy!
