  Description

  Welcome!
  
  We, Kiljan and Katrijn, are transforming a historic church and rectory into a vibrant community hub, and we're looking for passionate Workawayers to help bring our vision to life! Located in the beautiful region of Saxony-Anhalt, just 40 km from Halle, creativity, movement, and connection meet.
  
  We are two acrobats who have spent the last five years traveling across Europe, teaching workshops and performing at various events. Along the way, we’ve connected with artists and communities, learning and growing through our shared passion for movement. Now, we’re excited to bring our experience into our own new project.
  
  It is a non-profitable initiative and all about creating a place where people from all walks of life can come together to explore, learn, and share. Whether it's through sports, art, or community events, we want to foster an environment where new ideas can flourish.
  
  Our project is in its early stages, so if you enjoy getting hands-on, this is the perfect opportunity. We’re working on cleaning, painting, and renovating both the church and the rectory, as well as improving the surrounding land. There’s plenty to do, from clearing out spaces, getting rid of weeds, gardening, and even helping us install a sauna! Some rooms in the rectory are already ready for use, so you'll have a comfortable place to stay as we continue to bring the rest of the space to life.
  
  We aim to maintain the church's historical role as a meeting place while breathing new life into it, creating something special for both the local community and beyond. The property spans over 4,963 m², including 800 m² of indoor space and beautiful green surroundings.
  
  Come join us and help shape the future of this magical space!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  In our community space we value cultural exchange and the connections that come from different backgrounds. These values have always been a big part of our relationship since Kat is from the Flemish part of Belgium, and Kiljan is German, having grown up near Frankfurt.
  
  Since we have traveled a lot, we’ve come to appreciate the link between cultures and languages as well as the good things it brought our personal relationship with each other.
  
  We welcome you to join us in this exchange, whether through working together, sharing meals, or learning about each other's cultures. We are also very sportive people —Kat enjoys a morning run or yoga, and in the afternoons and evenings, we train partner acrobatics, handstands, and weight training. You’re welcome to join us in any of these activities during your stay.
