  Description

  2024 !!:) we are currently looking for people who wanna join us for the gardening, cleaning and house maintanance.. plus if you can speaking english to our son.
  Hi there:) We are family of 3. Me-Lucia, Vlado and our son Liam 5 years old.We live in a beautiful, peaceful place in a traditional farmhouse in west part of Slovakia. Our 1 hectare land is surrounded with meadows, orchards and hills in the carpathian mountain range called White Karpats. I am a psychologist and really into permaculture for the past 8 years, experimenting on our land. Vlado is experimenting with his hands and doing a lot of manual work even thou he is a philosopher interested into non-duality. We moved to our land from the capital city of Slovakia, Bratislava, so we know what it is to live in the city... As our land attracts people with its beauty and our openness, we use to spontaneously "organize" some campfires and get-togethers. We have different kind of visitors all year around from permaculture enthusiasts, visionaries, volunteers and artists to online rental guests who stay in our experiential accomodations like circus styled wagon for example.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our place is unique and typical for this region of Slovakia. We have interesting neighbors, with interesting projects and there are beautiful natural scenery with hikes around. There are some landmarks nearby, like Javorina hill, which the border with Czech Republic. You can have a good view on the rolling Czech countryside from there.
  In Trenčín, the biggest nearby city, you can have a Slovakian city - experience. The closest city where the train goes to is Nove Mesto nad Váhom - which also suggests the nearest river, Váh, Slovakia's longest river.
  There are also many cute villages around to visit and explore, where cultural events are held - concerts, festivals, markets. Events are also often held out in the hills, on people's properties such as small guerilla "from friends for friends"- type festivals.
  The region and the community network here is very much in development still, and we can slowly feel the network or the "mycelium" as we call it, growing stronger. We are feeling a development towards a similar type rural networks like in some parts of France or the UK (just in our own particular Slovakian style). This is very meaningful for us because we can be part of the birth of a new type of lifestyle here in Slovakia, as more and more people desire to live a meaningful life closer to nature. If you feel that experiencing this with us, even if in a temporary way is something exciting, than this is the right place for you to explore.

  Help

  Our volunteers have a lot of freedom to decide and choose with us what they want to help with each day. You can choose from many areas because our property is big and we do many activities here. Mainly we need help with cleaning, gardening, helping around the house and cooking. Our 3 year-old son Liam is in kindergarden arriving back home around 16:30 so there is also possibility to play with him. Liam is really cute and also very independent. We are open to welcome mothers with one child. If you decide to cook, we would appreciate you to cook vegan because i am vegan. Vlado and Liam they eat everything but mostly vegan. If you like gardening or working on projects like constructing something there are also many possibilities. Vlado is currently constructing a tiny house :) We are flexible to agree on some schedule with you which we are freely open to change if desired:)
