Description
Together with my children, we inhabit a beautiful old house in the centre of Interlaken, Switzerland. Our house is not just a family home, it is also an energy healing center and a Cosmic School. People come here to heal and to remember who they are. We have healing rooms on the ground level and our family resides on the first level. Our workaway-guest would stay on the 2nd level with their own private shower and toilet. Part of the estate is a large garden with beautiful trees and open fire places. We would share a large kitchen and there's a sauna too. The central station and buses, as well as all the shops, are only 2 minutes away, which feels unreal when standing in the garden looking up to the mountains. We'd be happy to share this little paradise with you.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Well, we are an international family (my kids are Swiss-Dutch-English). I and we have moved every 3 years for the past 20 years, and still, I am Swiss born and back here since 2019. I understand the culture and can translate it for you. I believe you can find joy and quiet and calm with us.
We are open and fun but also treasure our privacy and recluse time. And we are interested in your life and what you have come across so far.
I am a very focused worker and work from home most days. If you bring your own study project or need some time for reflection or a timeout, you will be embedded in that focused energy.
When wirking with us and for the charity, you'd be immersed in a context of energy healing and empowerment.

Help
HOUSE MAINTENANCE
We need help in and around the house to maintain the rooms, garden/outer area (weeding, sweeping, mowing).
CHILDCARE, 9 and 11years
My kids would love to go on little adventures around Interlaken with you, being outdoors, playing volley, foot or any other ball game or physical activity, "parcouring" (jumping over things, over walls etc), drawing/painting, hiking, swimming, creative play, music, singing, art...anything that lifts and reinforces the children's creative and physical powers.
COOKING
Help with cooking, especially lunches. Vegan/vegetarian, sometimes meat for the kids:-)
HOMESCHOOLING
We need help for our homeschooling. Checking her project work and helping my daughter. Special focus maths, French, teach her music and/or dance,and generally be there for her, while I have to work.
WORKSHOPS
Our cosmic school is a project of the Swiss Association for Cosmic Awareness. We plan to begin a childrens project mid January 2022. We need people who are positive and love working with kids age 5 to 12, to help them realize their projects. German, French, English. Martial Arts knowledge is sought, teaching youngsters and researching different styles with them. Musical knowledge sought. Someone who can play the guitar or violin, or another instrument, and sing and dance. Generally vital and curious people to give these kids the attention and love they need and deserve.

Accommodation
You would stay at the top level. One bedroom with a large cupboard and large bed and another smaller room with a bed, table and cupboard and a shower (to share). You have your own toilet (to share if you are two) too. So you can withdraw and be by yourself whenever you need to.
We are a very private family. Not all rooms would be open to you. I also have office hours when I need strict privacy. My kids also claim strict family time. So if you enjoy veing with usbit also enjoy your private time, then we might be a match.
Breakfast we would not share. I get up around 5/5.30am to do my energy clearing, planetary healing, meditation, and later on I wake up the kids. We usually have little time to get ready for school. 😊
Lunch would ideally be cooked by you 3-4 times a week, so we would share. Happy to try out new food!
Diner I would often cook and you could share diner with us, if you are around, whatever feels good and we could decide spontaneously what we all like best. I know my kids will sometimes just want to eat with me:-) We cook simple food and only little meat for my kids. I am vegan/vegetarian.
I am open to discuss and try out things and patterns and to see how you, I and my kids feel about it all.
What else ...
We'd love someone with us who comes from another corner of the world and is happy and positive. Maybe has a spiritual side to them or is naturally connected to nature, light and health. No smoking, no alcohol.
Someone who is happy to live and interact with children, VERY RELIABLE WITH CHORES AND AGREED ON TIMES and eager to build on a more conscious and loving world.
Interlaken is a climber and hiking Mekka. We sit in-between two lakes which you can swim in and have fun on.
Public transport takes you anywhere, on top of mountains, into glaciers, splendid valleys, to other cities (Bern, Zurich, Lausanne, Geneva etc.). To the Italian and the French part of Switzerland, Interlaken is right in the center of Switzerland. You can fly into Basel-Mulhouse and take a straight train from Basel central station to Interlaken West (2 hours ride). We live 1-2 minutes from there.
There is an indoors outdoors pool in Interlaken, an ice rink, art gallery, concerts, bars, cafes, restaurants.
