Description

Sweet Folks

/I am based in Vienna for this winter. I will be working on 2 oil paintings, saving up some money and getting on with my practices./

This is Shándi. I was born in Hungary but in the past few years i have been staying in Denmark, Holland, Switzerland and Iceland too. I often feel like moving and haven't been anchoring myself too much. I think that the country where i'm from doesn't define me so it is not really important where i am from but rather the experiences i have had and what i chose to do in my life. I look at myself as a spiritual being.

I've begun volunteerin as a Greenpeace activist and found myself the happiest when i made myself useful in synchronicity with a team of people who have shared the same purpose and they joined their forces in order to create something awesome. Today volunteering is a way of life to me. I spend most of my time as a volunteer.

In april of 2019 i made the decision that i was going to live a low eco-footprint nomadic and off grid lifestyle which that time meant to me that I would not use money or fuel if not totally unavoidable and started my journey in Holland on a permaculture farm. These days i make some money occasionally since i have expenses just like everybody else.

I have made a touring setup that allows me to roll with most of my belongings - so i am mobile to go anywhere and contribute my energy to genuine projects. I'm interested in visiting and living with indigenous people and other Earth Restorers - the people who have the wisdom and knowledge of how to live peacefully on the land, how to guard the land and how to maintain harmony with nature. There are lots of violence happening against indigenous communities at this very moment on the globe - if you are interested in the topic please follow Survival International.

We are all different and find different things important so I think communication is key to make co-operation smooth between people. I generally prefer long therm stays (1-3-6 months) so i can get to know the place and the people around in a peaceful and calm pace.

Some of the projects i engaged in since 2019.
In 2019 on that first farm (called de Wij) in Holland i served 7 months and we had small construction projects (like building a shed), we were caring for a food forest, doing some gardening and i was also cooking vegetarian meals weekly.
In the beginning 2020 i traveled to Switzerland and served in an eco-village called Smala for 4 months. There i learned about joinery work and also made 2 mosaic art on walls. With a qualified joiner we made furnitures and handrails and other wooden structures like boxes for trash bins. So i basically measured, cut and sanded wood materials with power tools but i also constructed structures under supervision.
After Smala i traveled close to Bern, Switzerland to join a healing center called Inslot.

At this place a group of psychologists and therapists were working together to help people with different psychic challenges like depression, border line or being burnt out. I served there for 8 months as a maintenance person doing gardening, cooking, fixing things and renovating, refurbishing rooms and buildings. In 2021 i traveled to Hungary to spend some time with family and friends. In the summer time i worked and volunteered on festivals like setting up big bedouin tents, building small constructions or cooking. At times i was not on festivals i was making a living from gardening and renovating loam houses.
In September 2022 i flew to Iceland to the country i was dreaming about experiencing for many years. I was working as a vegan cook in a bistro in the east and then I took part in a WorkAway project, helping a family rebuilding a house in the south of Iceland. After that i worked a little in a hotel because i had some financial goals.
On this journey I would like to work on myself and help/support our planet's ecosystem and those who take part in this kind of activities.
2023 in may i left Iceland, and participated in workshop on making shakuhachi flute out of a piece of bamboo with John Kaizan Neptune and then learned with masters from Japan for 5 days (14th International Shakuhachi Festival). In the summer i helped and volunteered on 4 international festivals, where i took part in trash management, and building as well.

I would love to discover elderly knowledge. Knowledge of shamans, indigenous people or anyone who came to big (or small : ) realizations in their lives.
Lately i am grateful for silence and solitude just as much as i am grateful for good company. I like meeting open minded people to exchange skills and knowledge or wonder about life together.

Recently i learn to play the shakuhachi and have some oil painting projects. I love most type of art and creative exercises (photography, land art, mosaic, woodwork)
I have daily sitting meditation (taoist/zen context) practice. I'm interested in learning about ecosystem restoration.
I have been traveling communas and ecofarms since may of 2019 to learn about a sustainable, healthy way of life.
Freestyle dance or Butoh also excite me a lot too.

Greetings

Work with me and find out yourself! : )

I learn about ecological farming/ecosystem restoration and all ways that enable us to live by nature in the most respectful way making the least harmful impacts. I am interested in becoming self-sufficient to be able to create all necessities that me or my community needs. I learn about plants, trees and the soil so maybe i can take care of your plants and trees or maybe start up a little food forest - i usually get along well with animals as well.

I have about 1 year experience in stable work (half a year in a horse riding school in Denmark and half a year on a hobby horse farm in Hungary), where i was feeding horses and cleaning their boxes mainly or escorting them to the fields/back to their boxes.

I can cook - I have been cooking for groups on a weekly basis before mostly vegan and sometimes vegetarian meals.

I have been also helping around on music festivals as a builder/decorator, photographer and was hosting and showing around DJs/artists.

I am good at writing and communicating in english and i like documenting things. So if you would like your project to be documented for social media or any platform i think i can help you with that.

I have spent some time in renovation work, fixing stuff, using power tools around the house, working with wood (some joinery and carpentry experience).

What can i do specifically? Ask me in a message!
