This page is for those who do not want to simply stay with us for a while, but want to truly take part in the life of the place through help, participation, and shared work. This format can indeed make a stay more financially accessible: our model allows, in some cases, a significant reduction in accommodation and food costs through contribution to the common life of the place. But the meaning of this path is not only about saving money.
For many people, it is also a way of learning through practice. By staying with us for a longer period and taking part in practical, organizational, or creative tasks, one gradually gains a better understanding of how such a place works, and how everyday life, collective work, hospitality, autonomy, and responsibility come together. For this reason, this format can be valuable not only as a way to help the project, but also as an investment in one’s own development.
That is why the questionnaire is especially important here. A great deal depends on the number of days, the number of participation hours, the type of accommodation, and the overall balance between your contribution and the costs on our side. We usually give priority to people who come for longer stays: this makes it easier to enter the rhythm of the place, be genuinely useful, and gain more from the experience. The more accurately you describe your possibilities, motivation, and expectations, the easier it will be to understand whether there is a suitable format for everyone.
