All as ecologically as possible.

Both long and short stays are possible.
We have still spaces free for workawayers from
3rd of march to 10th of may
2nd of june to 6th of july.

A stay here is all about being who you are. Being alive, awake, concious, being present in the here and now. Putting as much love as possible in what you are doing.

The tantra yoga lessons will let you experience total freedom. You experience yourselve as an unique human being, through a partner or through the group. In tantra yoga it is not about bodies touching bodies, but aboute buddhas meeting buddhas. We learn tuning in on the other/group from heart to heart. Your body is your outmost holy temple.in the tantric yoga group excercises you are going to make contact with another through for example massage, eye to eye contact, touching, hugging, sharing, loving, and as so experiencing oneness.In tantra yoga we activate our Kundalini (liveforce or sexuel energy), through the reunion of shiva (male) and shakti (female).2 times a week there is a tantric session (where it is always free to join or not join excercises).Once a week there is also a hatha yoga lesson (yoga postures and meditation).

All meals are vegetarian and of course free. 1/4th is organic (as much as possible, but our garden cannot yet provide for the whole community the whole year through, but we are working on that, with your help!). All lessons are free.
On average we are with about ten to twelve volunteers.

Do not forget that working on the buildings is not more than moving a pile of stone from one place to an other. What's really important is YOU who's doing it.

WE HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON, WITH LOVE.
