Description
We are a not-for-profit artist residency project focused on the art and science of harmonious co-living.
You are invited to support and take part in a family (or, at times, a small community) with an emphasis on engaged and restorative artistic practices of freedom, community, and beautiful co-presence. Based in Nicosia since 2018, and serving as a transitional space for families looking to exit the city, this has been a place for the hard work of "staying with the trouble", and occasional gatherings, workshops and symposia on creativity, love, freedom, freedom-respecting technology, reviving connective practices through dance, storytelling, hiking, and for rediscovering flow and being together with all ages, to thank and celebrate life.
As an effort for community-building and community-integrated learning (albeit in an urban setting) it has been about connecting people and families whose needs are not quite met by the local extended-family support system (e.g. single parent families, families interested in alternative education and skill-sharing -whether they are presently relying on the conventional education system or not, families in various kinds of transition and people interested in mutual support and "being the village"). We wish to provide support in the alternative education community island-wide while coordinating regular offerings that cultivate solidarity, mutual assistance, and an extended notion of kinship.
The initiative is coordinated by Chrystalleni (PhD), Cyprus-based pedagogue-learner, artist and cultural studies scholar with an integrated life-practice in community-focused and participatory art, openness, and technological freedom.
It is inspired by the timeless emergence of Mother Houses all over the world with a mission of care for children, for each other, for ourselves and for our environment.
We welcome Workaways to support our activities according to their own abilities and interests!

We wish to share the art of being together in respect for each other's gifts and unique path, the art of maintaining rhythm and flow in connection with nature and with each other, and of taking care meaningfully and mindfully.

Aide
You can contribute to our not-for-profit activities:
- our cooking rota,
- fixes and improvements around the house and garden are most valuable,
- care-tasks and daily tasks around the house,
- animal care and dog training,
We are committed to a mentality of mutual exchange and our practice follows the ideals of a circular and gift-economy.
We have not, so far, engaged in for-profit activities although we have, at times, invited donations to cover costs and sharing any donations among the people who put in the work. We wish to build on this and will be happy to host Workaways who may be interested in this model.
