Description
I am adaptable and driven to learn. It is important to me to tune in to the present moment and contribute to the community around me. I love to learn about others and ask questions. I enjoy nature and connecting with the world.
Right now, I am looking for a spiritual, peaceful community where I can cultivate an inner harmony within myself. I am happy to help the community however is needed, especially inspired by work that comes consciously and naturally.
I have Word Trade experience in family homes, on farms, and at retreat centers, helping with gardening, animal care, property maintenance, household chores and child care.
I can offer teachings in Tai Chi and Improv Theatre, which are two deep passions of mine. Both practices help transcend our conditioning and become closer to our true selves. Tai Chi is largely focused on escaping the conditioning of our body, and improv theatre is focused on escaping our social conditioning.
My partner and I are currently exploring the US, and I am eager to see new areas. I would love to contribute to an inspired project and meet new people who share values centered around love, humanity, the planet, and the divine.

It was so lovely to have the dynamic duo of Andrew and Christina as a part of our family. They were kind and mindful, they put a lot of thought into their stay and brought lovely gifts to make our kids feel loved. They put meaning into their work, always following through and not shy to ask questions if they were unclear. Great communication. They… read more

Naomi and Yoav were such wonderful hosts and my time here was a blast! Things move quickly in this community--fast friends, fast projects, fast adventures, and at the same time there is a precious slowness captured in a deep respect for the moment. Naomi and Yoav are established community members and they happily shared their circle of friends and… read more

I'm very thankful for my time here. They were thoughtful hosts, and I felt well taken care of from the beginning. I enjoyed their library of spiritual texts, and I felt supported in my effort to learn more about Buddhism. The food was tasty and healthy, prepared by the permanent staff members. The work was valuable, and it felt nice to contribute… read more

Having Andrew here brightened the cold and dark Winter days. It made the evenings warmer. He was here at the same time as another guest. It was always completely easy to get along as a large ad-hoc-family.

Andrew did what was asked of him, and in addition, he often would help clean the kitchen and do the dishes, even without being asked.

He's… read more

Such an interesting project! I came during a quiet time, but there were still ways to contribute; most of my time was spent on maintenance. The animals were very entertaining and they were treated very well. The property was fascinating and the art around was very cool. Quick and easy access to Eindhoven, and plenty of bike trails and natural… read more

I learned way more than I expected when I came to join Frauke and the team at the place. It became a place of deep spiritual growth for me. Every week Frauke held space for the team to learn and share about the discovery of the Self. These lessons carried over naturally into the week where, through inspired action and a focus on our natural… read more

It was a huge pleasure welcoming Andrew in our team - a deep soul, very curious in life and very aware and respectful with all beings around him. He adapted very quickly to our farm routine, spreading happiness with his contagious smile and great impro theatre skills! We loved to see him taking care of various projects like animal care, gardening,… read more
