Description
Hi Workawayer,
This project was founded with the intention of creating spaces where people can experience self-efficacy, develop a positive self-image, and grow in self-responsibility, curiosity, and trust in themselves. We believe in a positive view of humanity and in learning through experience, connection, and shared presence.
Our work brings together body, mind, and relationship. As concrete offerings, we currently host and develop activities such as archery, Tango Argentino, Salsa, Lindy Hop, yoga, meditation, shibari (rope-based bodywork and awareness practice), as well as information and training events. We are continuously evolving and are open to expanding into new areas that support personal growth, awareness, and connection.
Life here is shared and collaborative. You can support us in many ways, depending on what suits you best:
helping with household tasks like cleaning, support in the kitchen and cooking, assisting with everyday routines, or contributing your own ideas and skills. We value initiative, openness, and mutual respect.
Just as important to us as the practical help is the exchange between people. We enjoy meaningful conversations, learning from each other, and forming genuine connections and friendships along the way.
If this resonates with you and you feel like becoming part of a place that values presence, growth, and human connection, we’d be happy to hear from you.
Warm regards and see you soon,
Marco

I stayed with Marco and Co for a few days and really loved it. It was my first time workawaying myself and it was incredible.
I helped them a few hours a day and spent the other time hanging out and exploring the area. Overall a great stay and would definitely go back :)

Gry supported us for a few days and was a great help during that time. She has a very pleasant and positive attitude, is friendly, open, and interested. She helped with vacuuming and cleaning, and also assisted us with clearing out the basement. We really appreciated her support and enjoyed having her around.

There were some misunderstandings due to my lack of knowledge of the language, but there were also really pleasant moments like archery, music and the air of relaxation that you breathed at home. Unfortunately there was almost no chance to talk about our passions or past life experience. I hope in the future to meet and discuss our interests.

I stayed with Marco for a week after a few insane weeks jumping around from place to place on my travels. I helped with some things in the yard, and went for a few long runs along the beautiful countryside. Its a good workaway experience for some down time and also Marco has great insight into living peacefully.
