  Description

  Hello!
  
  I am a 25 year old guy from the Türkiye who is in the beginning stages of building a community that is trying to reinvent the way in which we live and work together.
  
  Although I have great affinity with Eco-communities that try to be self-sufficient an go 'back to basic', I believe that technology can bring, and has brought, a lot to the world. Not only good things for sure, but the potential is without limit. It is up to us to make sure that all these amazing human and technological enterprises are a force for good in the world. In staid of damaging and exploiting nature we can heal and add to it. Likewise for people; companies and communities (a distinction that maybe shouldn't be there) should aim to set people free, and support them as much as possible, rather then exploit them.
  
  Capitalism has also brought a lot to the world; ever facilitating these win-win situations between different parties. But, in many subtle and less subtle ways, capitalism is also rooted in a belief in (and history of) scarcity; Contracts need to be made; everything is transactional; you have to earn your keep; etc... I don't think this is necessarily a natural or a healthy way for people to live and exchange energy. It is also self-reinforcing, and it can lead to a great deal of personal and environmental suffering. I think many people are tired of living in a society that puts a price on everything; Even if you manage to do what you love, you might still be 'selling yourself' in a way.
  
  In short, I think taking care of the planet is very much related to taking care of ourselves and each other. I want to explore ways in which we can give ourselves the space, freedom and resources to give our energy how, when, where, and to whom we feel like giving it. And also the other way around, to receive energy freely; To live from the idea that there is/will be enough for everyone. Perhaps this is the foundation upon which we can truly build better world.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I offer like a wonderful opportunity to experience Aydın, Turkey, and its unique community! I offer free accommodation and the chance to participate in various workshops.
  
  I want you to feel like part of the community, participating in daily chores in a traveller-oriented home, such as cooking and cleaning.
  We could make workshops, like sports, painting, and making wooden tools. We can also do foreign language lessons.
  
  On my part, I can bring my own knowledge and cultural background to the table. Coming from a rural background, I have a solid foundation in practical aspects of life and biology. I believe this knowledge can be mutually beneficial as we exchange ideas and learn from each other's experiences.
  
  I graduated from molecular biology and genetics. I worked for 3 years as cancer, depression and molecule production from plants. I was an imam when ı was young and also I studied theology. I am a mentor. I just returned from a 2-year world tour. I worked in many different places. I have a charity association that I have been working for years.

  Accommodation

  My house is an old brick house. I use the stove because it is cold in winter, but summer is coming and it is pleasant to sit on the large balcony. I have old furniture in my house but it is very useful. I keep it as clean as I can. Also, since I just moved in, many things are still missing like spices, herbs and special utensils etc.
  
  You can have a room to yourself with a choice of pull-out couches, or we make something with some of the good mattresses that I have. Blankets pillows etc are there, but for the rest it is still empty (except for my beloved plants of course) Again, if you feel like adding something nice to the room like art or furniture can be really nice.
  
  I cook from time to time, but also eat out quite a lot since its quite cheap for me here.
  
  I do not ask 'volunteers' to do anything in return for their stay . It doesn't cost me much to provide shelter, and I want you to feel as free as possible, as i want to feel as free as possible myself.
  
  If you feel like helping that's great, but if you need time and a place to heal you are more than welcome. I especially welcome those who are struggling with in our society, and/or are interested in alternative ways of living and being.
