Description

Hello, My name is Christo and i am on a journey to discover what makes ecovillages tick. I am going around the world to visit with like minded communities, particularly those who consume a diet of non-violence (ahimsa or vegan but i can stand vegetarian if its done in a human way).
My talents including being a master carpenter, blacksmith, metal worker, artist and i am also very talented in just about any construction project including plumbing, electrical, masonry etc. I also practice Ayurvedic "holistic" medicine, teach Tantra, Kundalini yoga and partake in sacred shamanic ceremonies. I also love crystals, dance, play, singing, story-telling and laughing.
My dream is to co-create an ecovillage where holistic healing, creativity, play and mindful living are a central part of the focus.

I spent one week at Sanna's beautiful farm. She needed help with some tasks that needed to be done before the start of the season, through teamwork we were able to get them done well and on time. I have a pretty specific diet so i prefered to prepare my own food, but Sanna made up for it by allowing me to bring my son for a visit and also allowed … read more

Christo came in the right time to help me with specific task in my house. And it was perfect because he is professional contractor and has a long experience with building and renovating houses. He is really good planner which saves time and money. I got a great new concrete floor with wooden tresholds in my basement. He was fixing other little … read more

For you who are reading this, just to be clear: no, he was not someone I would be intrested in. And yes, he is the only one so far we have kicked out. My intention was to do it as nicely and respectfully as possible, sorry to hear it didnt work out (apparently there was some miscommunications).

The idea of us "receiving his therapy" is quite … read more

I showed up to do carpentry work and the 1st two weeks of the exchange was ok because the father of Ilona was away. When he returned everything started to come undone. I was told there would be foods that would fit my dietary restrictions but there were not and so i decided to just buy my own food and we had to find a new exchange as the work i … read more

We did not really have an agreement with Christo when he showed up.
Neither did he really know what he wanted, he just got kicked out and needed a place.
So we took him in, tried the volunteering for a day. He didn't really want to work, maybe needed to work through things.
Anyway his stay does not really qualify as a volunteering experience as we … read more

My experience with the work away here was very brief because the day that I arrived was quite stressful for me as my previous work away situation ended very abruptly. I explained this to the owners of this project and when I arrived on the first morning I was shaking still from the traumatic experience that I experienced the day before. I decided … read more

What can I say about Chris, Come Back !!! He was such a wonderful guest. We had great conversations and learned things from each other. He is a joy to have meals with ; ) He is a great woodworker, and was able to fix some doors that were installed wrong. He also helped on a very challenging deck precariously high above the sloping mountain ground. … read more
