  CALL FOR HELPERS
  
  Next time helpers needed from June 10 throughout the summer 2025, Contact us in May, before that we cannot really make specific plans.
  
  Our place is located between Turku and Helsinki in the village of Karjalohja on a beautiful hill with a view over fields with crops and horses. Only with a 7 minutes walk you reach the shore of the clean protected Enäjärvi Lake, where we do fishing, rowing, sailing, swimming, picnic, or take tours to the islands. Big forests with berries and mushrooms also surround us. You reach the Turku-Helsinki express bus stop in 15 minutes with our biogas car. To reach the nearest small village with shop, library, spa, etc. takes 12 minutes by car and 35 minutes on bicycle.
  
  Now this place serves our circle of partners and friends and we hope that one day it can also serve a larger circle. Eventually, it can also become an artist residence and an experimental ground for artistic, ecologic and holistic lifestyle development.
  
  The project
  We are developing an old farm into an ecological self-sustainable unit. We are growing biodynamic food and exploring experiments in recycling and renewable energy sources.
  
  The crew is a group of individuals, partners and friends who all share interest in global consciousness, ecological, aesthetic, ethic sustainable living, thinking globally locally, power of art music, drama and narratives. We are working in the fields of arts, academics, environmental activism, locally and internationally.
  
  The house has been throughouly renovated including the kitchens, the sauna, the compostable toilets, the solar power heating systems - everything is already in good use. In one special spacious and light room we do yoga, meditate, celebrate, make music, dance and gather.
  
  Practicalities
  We can accommodate volunteers in cosy summer rooms in the other buildings in our beautiful yard. We will provide food, housing and offer a stay in our special and friendly environment. We hope you will contribute with around 5 hrs. help input per day. The weekends are free. Often we make picnics or excursions to interesting places, attend local cultural events or just relax on our beach or in the hammock.
  We can take from 3- 4 volunteers.
  
  Applicants please write and let us know what area of activity you are interested in, when you can come and other basic info. For many years on other volunteering platforms, but are new on Workaway.
  We prefer that volunteers come for a minimum of two weeks.
