Hi we are in Poland
Our natural straw bale house is in the middle of a forest with Moose, wild boar, dear, foxes, rabbits, pheasant, mushrooms, many wild berries and friendly neighbours. We are a Polish, Beata and English, John, couple. We are learning to live a healthy natural lifestyle in harmony and self sufficient with our local environment. Our passion is art, cooking, music, films, gardening, yoga and meditating. We live less than 40 minutes from Poland's capital Warsaw. Warsaw is a cosmopolitan, historic, cultural city with many interesting sites, restaurants, theatres. Having regular festivals of music, theatre, film and food. Close to us is the birthplace of Chopin where weekly free Chopin music concerts are held as well as in Warsaw. Our house is a continuous evolving project and we are wanting to develop a permaculture garden and build a natural, self sustainable summerhouse/greenhouse earth ship house. We want to run learning workshops using these projects as practical examples.
Our main project this year is a summerhouse/greenhouse earth ship.
We now hope to build between May and October 2023 and would like 4 people at once (4 people per day) over that period of time. The exchange is accommodation and 3 meals a day for helping Monday to Friday 9am to 2 pm generally and weekend free. Occasionally this could be a little longer to complete a task depending on the weather.
We would like to share and participate in cooking and cleaning tasks.
Accommodation, we have four places in the house and also plenty of space for camping & camper vans.
We are looking after our eco waste system and use eco product wherever possible..
Travel expense will be your responsibility.
The consumption and possession of drugs is prohibited.
Appropriate dress ware for building work will be required for the project.
Desired attitude would be a positive, have a go and can do approach.
Do you have green building skills (masonry, carpentry, structural carpentry, straw bales, lime/clay plastering, heating, electrical, plumbing and at what level, eg I don't know anything, I know something, I know a lot, I could lead a team a little).
Please comment on any other skills and those you want to develop.
Please supply us with what food you like and any intolerance, allergy or illness.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje
