🏢 About the local organisation
In the age of climate change and global injustice, we ask ourselves if we have to change our consumption-oriented and resource-wasting lifestyle. A person who practices a consistently natural life is Friedmunt Sonnemann. He owns 4 hectares of land, situated in a forest near the small wine and tourist town of Bernkastel-Kues. He cultivates plants which are threatened or endangered and sells the seeds to various garden plot holders. The hut where he resides has neither a water pipe nor electricity, and the road leading to it is not paved. Life in this remote area (it is a one-hour walk uphill from the village) is not suitable for everyone, so the volunteers must be able to adapt to simple living conditions, live an organic lifestyle and be willing to avoid waste.
💼 What the programme involves
Depending on the weather conditions: working in the fields (cultivation, weeding), construction of the house - partly with loam and other manual work.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Living room, spring water and a telephone are available. You will be accommodated in the barn; there is a kitchen to cook, compost toilet. Only vegetarian food!
