Description
Web App Developer...Mycology, Hydroponics, and Carpentry enthusiast with IT skills.AI structure management (Creating systems for household needs)
Hello! My name is Lukasz and I am passionate about sustainable living and food systems. I am looking for hosts who need help optimizing their gardens or building new infrastructure.
My expertise includes:
Mushroom Farming: Experience with substrate preparation, inoculation, and fruiting conditions.
Hydrofarming: Knowledge of water-based growing systems, nutrient management, and system setup.
Construction: Competent carpenter capable of building raised beds, greenhouses, chicken coops, and furniture.
The Digital Bonus:
Unlike many farm volunteers, I also have a background in IT. If you need help digitizing your farm records, setting up smart-home/smart-farm sensors, or just fixing the family laptop, I can handle that effortlessly.
Why me?
I can spend the morning building a greenhouse, the afternoon setting up your hydroponic nutrients, and the evening fixing your computer network.
Happy to help with whatever projects you have on the go!

The Fool Who Found His Garden

There is a Tarot card that most people misread.

The Fool stands at the edge of a cliff — not from ignorance, but from a different kind of knowing. He has walked every road. He has slept in the belly of a twelve-metre bus while Europe rolled past the windows like a dream someone else was having. He has read… read more Dostoevsky by lamplight and understood, in his bones, that the underground man was right — and wrong — at the same time.
He arrives at the cliff's edge and does not fall.
He plants.
Jan is an engineer who never stopped being a philosopher. An anarchist who builds things that last. A musician who understands that the most radical act is to make something beautiful in a world that profits from ugliness.
The bus was not an escape. It was a laboratory. Twelve metres of mobile truth — testing what is essential, what is theatre, what dissolves when you remove the scaffolding of fixed address and social performance.
Jung would say: he was circling the Self. Dostoevsky would say: he was burning through his illusions the honest way — by living them to their edge.
La Palma was not the end of the journey. It was the answer the journey was always circling toward.
"It's paradise — it's only people that are able to create hell out of it."
This is not cynicism. This is a man who has seen enough of both to know the difference — and who chose, consciously, to become a keeper of the former. Even the name spirals inward — toward center, toward depth, toward the ancient dragon tree that has survived everything by simply being rooted and reaching simultaneously.
That is Jan.
He says life is a theatre and he is the Fool. But watch carefully — in Shakespeare, in Tarot, in Jung's trickster archetype — the Fool is the only one who tells the truth. The only one free enough to see the whole stage while everyone else performs their assigned role.
He found the best seat. Not to disengage — but to see clearly.
And from that seat, he keeps making beauty. Not as decoration. As resistance. As the only answer worth giving to absurdity.
If you arrive looking for paradise ready-made, you will miss it.
But if you arrive ready to participate in the beautiful illusion — conscious, willing, awake — you will find something rarer than paradise.
You will find a place where someone decided that creation matters more than comfort, that roots and freedom are not opposites, and that the spiral always leads somewhere worth going.
Thanks for coming, he says.
As if he is the guest. As if the gift flows both ways.
It does.
— Written in the spirit of La Palma, where the volcano reminds you that everything is impermanent, and the dragon trees remind you that some things endure anyway.

(Excellent)
