Description

Who are we?

Sinja from Germany {1999}
Matej from Slovakia {1999}

About Sinja:
I’m drawn to anything that brings more
awareness into life, like mindfulness practices,
and I’m open to practicing together and
supporting each other in that. I’m also
exploring what drives us as people and how we
connect and communicate, and I aim to bring
openness and honesty into the way I live and
share life with others.

I find joy in simple things — good food, sunshine,
playful conversation. I’m a professional
classical harpist, currently exploring new
ways of relating to the instrument that feel
more authentic to me — so I’d love to live
somewhere where my practicing isn’t a problem.

I’m curious about new ways of living, and
long-term I’m looking for a place where I can
invest my energy and help build something
we can genuinely call home.


About Matej:

Since an early age I learned to approach
the world with curiosity.
I occupy myself with recurring priorities:
being present, collective well-being,
sharing, connection and practicality;
I strive to support those in daily life.
Communities and mindfulness training
are for me recognized ways to live those
qualities.
