The life in the community

In the afternoon you can enjoy your free time by swimming in the river, relaxing or participating in different workshops like Kogui weaving, yoga, sharing circles and many more.
At night we spend the evening together in the Maloka with fire, sharing words and music.
It is important to us that everyone staying in the community values to live in harmony with each other and nature. With coming here you are part of the family and that is how we treat each other. We want you to feel at home and invite you to come with an open heart and mind. We ask you for open communication and treating each other with respect.
