We are a family of four, creating a beautiful and conscious space - for us to live and for others to learn. About permaculture gardening, natural building with wood and clay, and "community life" beyond the hippy cliché...
Soon we want to expand our land and invite other people and especially families to join our project.
Our goal is living together in trust and honesty, supporting eachother, enjoying life and getting sh×t done at the same time. 😉
We are Maja (37, German-Polish), Patricio (43, German-Cap Verdian) and our two kids, a girl (7) and a boy (10).
We all speak German, Portuguese and English (the kids are learning)
We have a little HOUSE (3 rooms) with 0,7 hectar of land around it, on which are also 2 CAMPERVANS and a YURT.
There are 5 GARDENS we created during the last year, a couch and a hammock lounge, three big trees that provide shade and we planted more than another 70 trees.
We are currently finishing two clay buildings and are harvesting / improving our gardens with small structures...
and generally making the place more cozy and beautiful.
Maja and Patricio run a mobile massage business in Berlin, Patricio is also an actor in theater, film and television.
We spent quite some time in the 40-year old-community „Tamera“ nearby and participated in various courses.
We are interested in the subjects of Free Love, Radical Honesty, Non Violent Communication, The Work and other tools for communication, self exploration and community-building.
We've both been facilitating men / women circles.
We wish for SUPPORT with the following tasks:
--- maintenance and harvesting of the permaculture GARDENS
--- COOKING and HOUSEHOLD stuff
--- BUILDING wood and clay constructions
--- setting up a CROWDFUNDING page for our project
(optional: DOING FUN STUFF with our kids)
