    Description

    Dear Workawayers,

    We’re a family residing in a small village a 45-minute public transport ride away from Berlin, nestled close to a stunning lake and right next to a forest. I’ve been working as a yoga teacher for more than 15 years, while also being a mother of five and a life coach. My three sons (9,9,12) are living with me in our main house. Workawayers with kids are also welcome. My vision for our garden is to create a place where live flourishes, nourishes and holds space to regenerate. It’s a space where I can share my knowledge and learn from others, exchange ideas and create visions…or just drinking a cup of coffee or tea with whomever wants to share the beautiful mornings with me. We warmly invite you to join us here, so we can support each other on our journeys. Your help in any form would be greatly appreciated, and we’re excited to welcome you in our home.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Of course you could learn or practice some German with us or some Spanish with our children. You can immerse yourself in nature by exploring the nearby forest, taking refreshing swims in the lake, or enjoying bike rides through the countryside. Our peaceful setting is a perfect place for you to relax and unwind and even for those of you seeking urban adventures, we’re conveniently close to Berlin, allowing you to explore the vibrant and historic highlights of this bustling city. Additionally, our proximity to surrounding villages provides opportunities for you to discover the charm and unique character of rural life.
    Moreover I can always share some knowledge about Buddhism,Meditation, Yoga, being a mother or life itself and maybe show you around some places.

    If you'd like to stay in your own lovely little house with us, we'd appreciate about 4 hours of your help each day, which you can split up according to your own schedule. First of all there is always help in the household needed which would mean cooking and cleaning mainly. It would be especially great if you have experience in areas like gardening, woodworking, construction, and creative DIY projects, as I'm quite occupied with other responsibilities and still learning a lot about managing my garden and related tasks. Ongoing projects are maintenance around the house, creating the terrace and in general small places around the garden to sit, building fences with natural materials or gardening and caring for the plants. Moreover i welcome help with computer, internet, Website, newsletter creating task. At the moment iam dealing with it but since my skills are in other fields it takes a lot of time to work through it. So people who are familiar with social media, marketing, Webdesign and so on are especially in the winter month very welcomed because all outside activities will be less. Also i appreciate a lot people who enjoy to cook preferably vegetarian or vegan meals. However I’m sure we’ll always find things and small projects to do, so your assistance and creativity is always needed and would be a great addition to our household in any case!
    Sorry, but we don't host smokers.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You’ll be staying in a small house which could host 2 people or a family with one or two kids. You have your own bathroom, kitchen and space to chill or even work. If you’d like we could cook together but since I’m also quite busy during the week you’re also welcomed to use the kitchen in your small home and or in our house. It would be great if you’re able to bring your own sleepingbag however if it’s not possible we can always figure something out. In winter due to the electric heater and its high costs you should be aware that room temperature is not more than 18 degrees allowed in the hut. So especially for guest from warm countries you should have it in mind and bring warm clothes.

    Given our busy daily schedules, I’m looking for people who can work independently and bring their creativity to this place. My goal is to create a laid-back and harmonious atmosphere, and I’m excited to learn more about you and your life story!
