  Description

  Hi, I'm Mila, I'm a passionate artist, connector of people and a space holder for ceremonies and voice activations.
  I moved out of Berlin to create a magical place in the countryside by a lake in Poland — a high-energy space for gatherings, jam sessions, festivals, and workshops.
  
  Together with Shai, a sound designer and music producer working with artists and live experiences, we are building our haven. (Shai is building a big recording studio in the house)
  This is quite literally a haven for artists, where they can find their voice, relax, work on their craft, while engaging in some physical work in nature. with the support of Shai and myself.
  
  This is more than a place to stay — it’s a living, evolving environment for creativity, focus, and connection. A home for artists, builders, and thoughtful people who want to contribute to something real.
  
  ***Trial period of 1 week.***
  
  What You Get:
  - A stay in a beautiful lakeside house
  - Time and space for your own creative work
  - Connection to artists, musicians, and creative minds
  - A calm but alive environment
  - The chance to be part of building something meaningful
  - There is also a possibility for artist residencies
  
  Who This Is For:
  Independent and self-motivated
  Hands-on and willing to contribute
  Respectful of shared spaces and people
  Interested in art, music, or creative processes
  Grounded, open-minded, and easy to live with

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am a traveler, yoga teacher, passionate musician, and I got experience with building gardens and communities, I am a cognitive scientist always learning and passionate about development. This place is located on an earth chakram and influences our body in a good way. It's next to a lake in a calm environment far from the city hussle. It's a very creative space supporting writing, composing, dancing and other forms of expression with a big space and Tools for creative endeavor.
  We also have the studio that hosts constantly artists from over the world for retreats, music productions, recordings and de-compression in the summer.

  Help

  We usually ask for around 4–5 hours per day, 5 days a week, depending on the flow.
  
  Right now, we are in an active building and creation phase. Tasks include:
  
  
  - Co-hosting artists and musicians during longer stays (usually musicians coming to the studio)
  - Gardening: setting up systems, watering, weeding, and creating chill outdoor spaces 🌱
  - Building an outdoor bathroom 🚿
  - Housekeeping and daily tasks around the house
  - Indoor renovation: demolishing and rebuilding the main bathroom 🔨
  - Creating a small gallery space
  - Building and painting furniture (wardrobes, storage, etc.)
  - Woodworking projects (we have tools and space — my grandfather had a workshop)
  - Building acoustic panels for music and sound work 🎶
  - preparing a little micro Festival in the end of May.
  
  There’s also space for your own ideas if you bring initiative.

  Can host digital nomads

  It works especially well for digital nomads who are looking for more than just a place with Wi-Fi. Here you get a calm, distraction-free environment to focus on your work, while being able to step away from the screen into nature, hands-on projects, and a real community. Instead of isolation or busy hostels, you get a grounded daily rhythm — balancing remote work, physical activity, and creative energy.
