Description
Hey, I am Birgit from Germany, now living in Crete. I am musician and work with sounds, sound therapy and sound healing. Since two years I have a place in Armenoi , where I have a big space for my instruments and gongs. We have a wonderful huge garden with a small river, where you can jump in, an outdoor kitchen and an outdoor seminar place. Specially for the garden we need a lot of help. In the garden there are several sweet places, in the summer hammocks and we have also a caravan, that is waiting for repair...Armenoi is a traditional authentic cretan village with a kafenio, three tavernes and some little shops. 2.5km far there is the sea with beautiful sandy beach. Four sweet cats, Max, Lilith, Lolita and Luna, and at the moment three chicken are living with us.
