  Descripción

  Welcome, everyone! We are thrilled to share our heartfelt mission of revitalizing village life. We are a young hardworking couple, full of passion, who left the hustle and bustle of the city behind and embarked on a journey to the enchanting very small village of Oslen Krivodol in Bulgaria. We are now transforming a depopulating village and meadow into an artistic zone with a campsite with workshop space. We want to support the village's cultural life and bring back the life and the people here by creating an artistic platform and a place where people from the village can work and have future here. We are now building the infrastructure - wood and construction work mainly.
  
  Together, we have launched an initiative where we collaborate actively with the locals in our village and the surrounding villages.
  
  In September 5-7 we organise a festival rural, so volunteers in preparation are welcome.
  
  We extend a warm welcome to all those who are inspired and awake, embracing a life close to nature. We are thrilled to meet the passionate and brave changemakers, the courageous souls, and the individuals who dedicate themselves to everything they do.
  
  Our doors are open wide to those who are unafraid of stepping outside their comfort zone, working hard and with inspiration , and who are eager to contribute to a better world. We welcome you on a harmonic schedule , where you can contribute to construction work / other hand work, while we gather the community and have sharing circles once a week.
  
  
  However, in order to ensure a smooth integration process and meaningful participation for both sides, we accept volunteers for a minimum of a week and with previous real experience in woodwork, work with mashines, handwork .
