  Description

  We do live since over 15 years on our forest clearing & love being in connection with our environment, the forest, the water, the plants & (wild) animals. Going through hollistic processes makes us happy.
  We have a large market gardening style vegetable garden that provides vegetables for us & our friends. We cut and mill our own timber. Living in self-built houses. Fine tools for further processing and a good network in the region promote the joy of creating.
  
  There are several springs with the best drinking water (red sandstone filtered), a stream and two ponds on our land. A small photovoltaic system supplies us with the necessary energy.
  
  There is hardly any mobile phone reception and no internet here🙌 Nore a windmill, electicity pylon or neighbours.
  
  Aesthetics, order and encounters are important to us. When we do something, we do it properly (get the right tool for the job;).
  
  We want people who can take responsibility for their own work. We are not looking for cheap labour but for depth, added value and encounters at the same level.
  
  With us there are no fixed working hours and nobody counts hours. There are quiet days, there are wild days, there are days when we work a lot. We pay attention to our needs, respect yours and invite to open communication.
  
  There is a variety of tasks so that everyone should find something that suits them.
  
  We like to create together but also enjoy going through certain creative processes alone.
  
  Over the years, we have seen that depth and added value are created when people are prepared to spend more than a few days with us.
  
  Come along, get to know us.
  We look forward to meeting you...
  
  
  Wir leben schon über fünfzehn Jahre auf unserer Waldlichtung & lieben es in Verbindung mit unserer Umwelt, dem Wald, dem Wasser, den Pflanzen & Tieren zu sein. Prozesse ganz zu durchlaufen macht uns glücklich.
  Wir haben einen grossen Gemüsegarten im Market Gardening Stil der uns und unsere Freunde mit Gemüse versorgt. Wir schlagen und gattern unser Bauholz selbst. Wohnen in selbst gebauten Häusern. Feine Werkzeuge zur Weiterverarbeitung und ein gutes Netzwerk in der Region fördern die Freude am Schaffen.
  
  Es gibt mehrere Quellen mit bestem Trinkwasser(Buntsandstein), ein Bach & zwei Weiher runden das Ganze ab. Eine kleine Photovoltaikanlage versorgt uns mit der nötigen Energie. Auch eine kleine Ölmühle ist unser eigen, im Winter am Ofen sitzen, Geschichten erzählen& Nüsse knacken...
  
  
  Ästhetik, Ordnung und Begegnung sind uns wichtig. Wenn wir etwas tun dann ordentlich (get the right tool for the job;).
  
  Wir wünschen uns Menschen die Eigenverantwortung mitbringen. Sich spielerisch einbringen… Wir suchen keine billigen Arbeitskräfte sondern Tiefgang, Mehrwert und Begegnungen auf Augenhöhe.
  
  Bei uns gibt es keine feste Arbeitszeiten und keiner zählt Stunden. Es gibt ruhige Tage, es gibt wilde Tage, es gibt Tage an denen viel gearbeitet wird. Wir achten auf unsere Bedürfnisse, achten eure und laden ein, zu offener Kommunikation.
  
  Es gibt vielfältige Aufgaben, sodass jeder etwas finden sollte, dass ihm entspricht.
  
  Wir erschaffen gerne gemeinsam aber genießen es auch alleine durch bestimmte Schaffensprozesse zu gehen.
  
  Über die Jahre hat sich gezeigt, dass Tiefgang und Mehrwert entstehen, wenn Menschen bereit sind länger als ein paar Tage mit uns zu verbringen.
  
  Es gibt kaum Handyempfang und kein Internet hier. Keine Strommasten, keine Windräder, keine Nachbarn. 🙌

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  you can learn a lot about the simple way of life, without having the feeling of missing out on something. We have a nice vegetable garden and are looking forward to teach you about gardening. We like to build stuff out of wood and stone and will teach you how you can do it yourself while doing it. The best way of learning. We like to do yoga and other exercises and will share our knowledge on this and will hopefully also be able to learn more from you. In the evening we often make campfires and talk and sing into the night. There is much to discover for example we also like to forage many thing like herbs and berries. If you want to learn more about low tech craftsmanship and traditional knowledge we are the place for you.
