Description
Come to help us with our renovation project and enjoy the nature and a yogic living.
We are Anna and Jannik, we are a couple living in the heart of the Black Forest with our cat Levia. Jannik comes from Berlin, he is a social worker and he is also studying psychology. I am a photographer and a yoga teacher from Poznan, Poland.
We are both yogis with many years of experience in practicing meditation and Hatha Yoga. In the begging of last year we have moved into this house in the middle of the nature, located at the altitude about 1000m and by the stream Ravenna. The house is a typical Black Forest wooden house, that was built in 1800, and then renovated in 1970, so it has a lot of history. We would like to renovate the house and to take care of the garden so we can create a beautiful and cosy place to practice yogic living.
For this we need help mainly with construction and building projects, general maintenance and cleaning, but also with art projects and gardening.
It is important for us to create a spirit of community here. Therefore we invite you to participate in regular yoga practice with us, spending time together in the nature, making music by a bonfire, ice bathing in the river and also to bring your own interests and qualities.
With the aim to create a safe and elevated place for spiritual growth and a yogic community, we are dedicated to keep our place alcohol, cigarettes and drug free, so if you choose to come here we kindly ask you to respect that rule throughout the whole time of your stay. That also includes that while living with us, we ask you not to be under the influence of any of these substances at all times.
