Experience off-grid life and co-create non-profit ecovillage in Mokri Potok, Slovenia

Infos

• 

  Description

  We are a small non-profit forest community located in the south of Slovenia, one hour drive from the capital Ljubljana and one hour drive from the Croatian coast. We are 7 adults and 6 children, with some extra members who usually join us during the weekends/holidays. We live off-grid Our goal as a community is to practically experience sustainable living and to share sustainable lifestyle via education, ecoturism and bio products. As we are in the early stages of development our main focus until now has been on natural building and organising natural building workshops, as well as building up the soil and experimenting with various gardening techniques. Our other areas of activities are permaculture, natural conservation (recognising and using wild herbs and plants, observing wild animals as the village is located in one of the largest forests in the region) and implementing social tools for better relationships in community. Villagers are also dedicated to organic farming practises, holistic wellbeing and crafts.
  
  Our eco village is located in a beautiful area, in forests which habitate a range of wild animals, within close proximity to rivers, lakes and the sea, where we spend many afternoons on the summer days.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Apart from working together, we will connect over shared meals, leisure time by our creek (which is the place to be on hot days!), around the fire in the evenings. We enjoy circles in the tipi with free jamming, talk or some inward time. On weekend we sometimes go for trips, to a nearby river or for a day on the Croatian coast.
  In your free time you can also explore the forests, or just enjoy the calmness at our land. For many it serves as a place of contemplation, inward reflection, digital detox. Its a perfect place if you wish to both learn about off-grid natural lifestyle, living in a community, building and gardening, and have a peaceful time for yourself.

  Aide

  We are currently working on developing projects on our common land, where we are building infrastructure for hosting larger groups, for workshops, youth exchanges, gatherings...at the moment we have a tipi, outdoor compost toilets and a small house built fully in natural building. The help over this summer will include some help with building an outdoor kitchen with a cob oven, outdoor showers, a wooden platform and creating paths, cleaning bushes. Some help might also be needed in our gardens or with animals - one of the families own chickens and soon also goats.
  We usually implement the largest projects all together on action days when all members are present, completing smaller stages in smaller groups. Volunteers will do tasks with us or sometimes also individually, depending on the task, timing, preference and skill. We are happy to share our experience in all fields of interests :)

  Hébergement

  We have one small cabin, and depending on the timing one tiny house which could accomodate a couple.
  Otheriwse, we provide space for camping (we can offer tents, sleeping pads and bags, or you can bring or own), also for vans if you are travelling in one.
  
  We will share 3 vegetarian meals per day. If you prefer to prepare your own meals, the cabin and tiny house have their own basic kitchens. In season we eat mostly vegetables, fruit and eggs from our gardens.
