  UPDATE 18th of April
  
  Welcome to this profile and welcome to our (still) little project :-) Shall this be a place of peace and freedom!
  
  Perhaps you are the one that is just the right person at this moment to come here so we can learn from each other and support each other!
  
  
  WANTED in May and June:
  
  Gardening season starts !!! Support us in the vegetable garden if you are someone that feels love to the plants :-) I work with some techniques that belong to the permaculture gardening so you can learn about microbiotics in gardening as well as natural magnetic fields and electroculture and the best times for work (with the moon and the planet influences) . If you don't want to learn about it - no problem, then you just do what I say ;-)
  
  Of course there is a lot of general maintanance to be done at this time of the year...
  
  There is a barn where some old concrete has to be removed from the attic floor.
  
  Refurbishing old doors for my moms flat would be great.
  
  Some insulation and clay work in my moms flat is needed as well.
  
  Please tell me about your interests and knowledge if you want to support us with some of this work :-)
  
  
  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:
  
  We are Heike (51) and my mom Annette (76) and we are starting a community place :-) The cat catching the mice here is Mona and the dog is 3-years-old Rocco, both from the shelter.
  My dog definitely prefers women, with men he made his bad experiences as a puppy. Anyway he has to get used to new people until he feels safe so don't expect him to be happy about a cuddle;-)
  
  We are living and working in a half-timbered manor, a historical monument of 1835. The vision is to create a vivid and peaceful place for a small community and get more and more self sufficient. Personal development and holistic healing in today's world is an important part of my life.
  As we are still at the beginning of this project - we started in May 2019 - and the manor stood empty for many, many years, there are a lot of different tasks to do within a lot of building work and repairing.
  At the moment it is just me, my cat and my dog Rocco living here permanently. I have just started to work selfemployed - most of it is in my home office.
  My mother is coming over every now and then. She had a little stroke and needs a bit support sometimes. She only speaks German. She wants to move here as soon as her little flat is ready - we are working on that.
  We use ecological materials, work with wood and clay and cooperate with the office for the preservation of historical monuments.
  
  I am open for a good, honest and open minded relation in which we can support each other and I am happy to host you for a week or some months :-) If you are interested in a long term stay let`s get to know each other and talk about it!
  
  I am interested in different types of natural healing, meditation, psychology and philosophy.
  You can come with your own camper van as well of course and place it in the big garden where you can see the sunrise and listen to the animals of the forest at night :-)
  Be aware that internet access is only via satellite, it works but not always good - if there is stormy weather or rain and sometimes I just don`t know why... You can use wifi but for online courses or zoom meetings it is not quick enough. We are still waiting for a good connection but it has not arrived here so far...
  
  Whenever there are questions left after reading the profile please ask!
  
  I really mean what I say or write and in my experience it helps a lot not being too shy or too polite for clarity so please feel free for that!
  
  I am quite curious to get to know you - believing there is always a reason for things to happen and for people to meet each other !

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Since I was young I was interested in all "main human questions" so lets share our ideas and knowledge and see the different (or the same) cultural influence.
  I love self-development, meditation and mindfulness and I am interested in natural and energetic healing like nutrition, reflexology, homeopathy, yoga, herbs...
  
  Sometimes I support little events in a village nearby, you can join me if you want.
  You can learn baking german cakes and cooking as well. I would be happy to learn about your traditional cooking as well.
  
  I can support with learning german if that's something you would like to improve.
  
  Sitting at the camp-fire every now and then in the end of a day makes me happy beyond wishes and that's something I'd love to share with you.

  Ayuda

  Actual tasks see above :-)
  
  There is always building work if you are interested in - get in contact and ask what we are doing at the moment.
  
  You could do gardening or cooking and cleaning and general maintanance. Then I can work in my home office or do some building work.
  If you stay only a short time or in the beginning of a longer period we work together so I can show and explain everything and there is work that is a lot easier if you are two ;-)
  
  I ask for 4-5 hours at 5 days from Monday to Friday.

  Alojamiento

  There is a caravan/trailer suitable for one or two people, you can see it on one of the photos and it has got a gas heating.
  We have a small and simple guest room in an outbuilding.
  Of course you can come with your own camper van and place it in the garden.
  We share the bathroom, toilet, kitchen. In the living room there is a woodburner and a piano and a guitar. There's no central heating yet and bathroom and toilets are from the 70ths ;-)
  
  The food I offer is mostly from ecological farming or the garden of course.
  I am lactose-intolerant and mostly I eat vegetarian or vegan meals and am fine with that. Sometimes I eat meat, but no mass production at all and I buy eggs from an ecological farm nearby where I can see the chicken outside picking worms ;-)
  
  I hosted several vegan travelers - if we all are tolerant and respectful with each other it will be nice together :-)
  
  I do smoke, but only outside and the volunteers are asked to go outside for smoking as well.

  Algo más...

  Nature is wonderful out here, there are owls, rabbits, deers, bats and birds around and there is a forest and a little stream nearby. There are historical monuments and some museums in this rural area. In 5 km there is a lake suitable for swimming and also not to forget the river Weser with its cycle path some km's away. Public transport is quite poor but you can lend a bike. It is 5 km to the station Petershagen-Lahde, where I can pick you up.
