  • Description

    A meaningfull life to me means to live in a community with humans, animals and nature that you love and care for. Doing what you are passionate about like preparing food, gardening, taking care of animals, making your environment beautiful and connect with other people.

    I've spend quite a few years in rural Thailand, Spain and Portugal where I did many projects in organic farming, gardening, animal care and permaculture (PDC in 2016) Recently I've volunteered as a kitchen assistant on a retreat and pdc courses for groups of 10 - 40 people. I'm always experimenting with fermentation, foraging wild plants and herb medicine too.

    I've also once lived in a mindfulness community for 7 months and I loved it. I've gotten to take care of 40 ducks, 3 cows and the enormous amount of compost everyday. All things that I really enjoyed.

    What describes my way of working is that I just put a lot of heart in what I do, whatever tasks I'm given, and therefore I enjoy a lot of things when it comes to farm/community life. Yes also bramble clearing and cleaning :)
