We are a small community in the making...
For now we are three friends, trying to create our space for living.
Maja (German-Polish), Patricio (German-Cap Verdian) and Chris (Austrian)
and two children, a girl (6) and a boy (10).
We have a little HOUSE (2,5 rooms) with 0,7 hectar of land around it,
with 3 little "veggi" GARDENS we created and three big TREES that provide shade.
We are currently renovating the house, do gardening and building for example a compost toilet.
Maja and Patrick are running a little massage company in Germany.
Both spent some time in the community „Tamera“ and participated in various courses.
Chris is a professional chef and has experience as a permaculture gardener and clay-builder.
We all are very interested in community-building, radical honesty, NVC, The Work and the subject of free love.
We wish HELP with the following tasks:
--- creating more permaculture gardens --- building wood-constructions and planing this
--- clay constuctions --- creating structure --- cooking, household and lots more ;-D

Most of all we WISH for:
-people who are: SELF- & RESPONSIBLE, flexible, independent, thoughtful (well thought-out) and acting deliberately
-craftspeople and other talented people who can also work on their own
and who also sometimes like to be alone (e.g. if we want/ have to spend time with the children over the weekend)
-for at least 10 DAYS (after some "getting-to-know-eachother-days")
3 Weeks or longer is super WELCOME if we all feel good together. We would like to get to know you)
-communicate honestly and directly, also about limits, wishes and needs
-nature-lovers and / or open hearted people
LIVING-TOGETHER-WISHES:
-we prefer to work in a GOOD MOOD & still getting things done
-we would like 5 helping days per week & we still love to stay flexible
-5 hours of work per day in exchange for tasty, vegetarian meals and accommodation (if needed)
-we all TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for the place, the tools, our health and nature
- Monday through Friday we meet around 9am for a quick check-in and the work-briefing
- We work until lunch at 1pm and around 6.30pm we have dinner. We usually eat TOGETHER
- we like to meet after dinner, to share how the day was and to connect with each other
-if something bothers you or you find yourself in a bad mood, COMMUNICATE honestly and DIRECTLY
to at least one of us, so we can help to resolve things or at least we know what's up
- if there is the need / wish for inner-process work, we find time for that in a smaller round or will get support
- we take selfresponsobility to be on time, which does not only mean present in the room
but ready to start (coffee made etc.)
