  Description

  WANTED: Workawayers with heart and soul
  
  We are a familiy-community and pleased about workawayers to live along.
  
  A multiplicity of projects enable a broad spectrum of participation:
  * usual household
  * easy gardening in a permaculture garden
  * easy craftmansship (e.g. Treehouse)
  * multiple, constantly changing DIY-projects
  In all areas we explicitly appreciate your input of ideas and creativity,
  furthermore we work on our tasks together - not alone ♡
  
  We are a not at all typical family, but unusual people who live together an unusual life
  according to unusual values: conscious - responsible - connected
  additional values like environmental awareness, nature conservation and upcycling
  also define our every day life and we have a lot of solutions without having to sacrifice luxury.
  Over all Life itself is the most valuable and we aim in all we do to support Life and not reduce it.
  
  2 bright children (4 and 9 years) provide a needful amount of chaos inbetween
  to keep our everyday life unpredictable, vivid and varied.
  
  We expect from our volunteers positive and constructive energy,
  as well as we are also solution-oriented and aim for win-win-situations with you.
  Unwelcome is an 'at-the-expense-of-others'-mentality, lies, breaking off contact and self-pity.
