  We are located in the beautyful hills in the "border triangle" of Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, where we are creating a Lab for Art, Nature and Awarness.
  Are you interested in helping to shape the outdoor space, mowing meadows, planting bushes and trees? There is a large field for creative and craft activities and to work in touch with nature. We are well networked with biologists and organic farmers.

  Help

  In the organic garden, on the meadows and in the wood there is always somekind of work to do and to learn from each other, planting, harvesting, preparing compost, mowing the meadows, woodwork. There are always new ideas for design or necessary work and upcycling + DIY . Also tools and machines are "happy" to be serviced. May be you are interested in shaping the outdoor space, to plant bushes and trees and constructing fences in a natural way. Renaturalising the pond, floodplain and forest is a wonderful project of a nice community of friends and guests.
  When cooking (VEGETARIAN) helping hands are wellcome and kitchen wants to be cleaned afterwards.
  In general we are very interested in getting in touch with creative people who are concerned about a mindful and benevolent interaction with others and nature In general, we are very interested in coming into contact with creative people who are interested in treating others and nature with respect and kindness and who enjoy getting hands-on and perhaps breaking a sweat or getting muddy while working.
