    Description

    After many years of traveling the world and volunteering in various inspiring projects, I decided it was time to settle down and create my own space—one that reflects the values and lessons I’ve gathered along the way. This place is the result of that journey.

    Tucked away in a remote corner of a beautiful old pine forest, my home is surrounded by peace, quiet, and the calming presence of nature. Far from the noise and pace of city life, this is a space for simplicity, intention, and regeneration.

    Here, I’m cultivating a lifestyle based on off-grid living, permaculture principles, and a deep respect for the land. It’s a work in progress—a place that’s slowly growing with care and thought, where every tree, path, and idea has its purpose.

    I invite volunteers who are looking not just for a project, but for a slower rhythm and meaningful connection with nature. Whether you're experienced in sustainable living or simply curious to learn, you're welcome to share in this journey, contribute your hands and heart, and enjoy the stillness of the forest

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Staying here offers a unique opportunity for cultural exchange and immersion in the rhythms of rural life. Volunteers will have the chance to experience everyday life in the countryside, learn about local customs, and enjoy fresh, homegrown food. You can also practice or learn Polish, hear stories about local history and folklore, and discover the natural rhythm of life close to the land.

    The farm is surrounded by an old pine forest, full of birds and wild animals, offering a deep connection with nature. It’s an ideal place to slow down, disconnect from the noise of modern life, and find inner peace. Whether it’s through quiet walks in the woods, working with the soil, or simply enjoying the silence, this place offers space for reflection, mindfulness, and personal growth.

    Volunteers will also have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in self-sufficient living. Together, we’ll take care of the garden, preserve seasonal produce, and share daily tasks that come with life on a forest farm. It’s a chance to learn practical skills, live in harmony with nature, and enjoy the simple, meaningful work that sustains our day-to-day life.

  • Help

    Help

    Volunteers will help with a variety of tasks connected to my permaculture project. This includes gardening, landscaping, and general maintenance. The help is diverse and changes with the seasons, so flexibility and a willingness to get involved in different areas is appreciated. It’s a great opportunity to learn about sustainable living in a peaceful forest environment.

    Accommodation

    I offer simple accommodation in a converted container. You will have a basic but comfortable place to sleep — either a bed or a sofa, depending on availability. It’s a modest setup, but clean and warm, with everything you need to rest after a day of work in nature. Bedding will be provided. The atmosphere is peaceful and surrounded by forest, perfect for those who enjoy simplicity and quiet.

    For those who prefer, I also have a tent available, as well as extra bedding that volunteers are welcome to use.

    We will share three meals a day, which we’ll prepare together using fresh, simple ingredients. Cooking and eating will be part of our daily rhythm—an opportunity to connect, share stories, and enjoy nourishing food as a community.

    There is also space available to park a van.
