🏢 About the local organisation
The community [LTGJ](http://www.ltgj.de/ Optional on hover text) Lebenstraumgemeinschaft was founded in 2001; today there are about 55 people of all ages living together in buildings of a historic farmstead, which belongs to a manor in a rural part of the city of Riesa in Saxony. Many of the buildings have been restored and renovated in an ecological and monument protecting way. In addition to this, a central wood heating was installed as well as a water recovering system, and ecological farming is realized in the two gardens and a field.
The community is a project, in which people of different generations have joined to explore community life as an experiment and to find out the ideal conditions for living together in sustainability and solidarity.
💼 What the programme involves
Preparing a summer festival (live music, DJs, workshops, vegan food catering, decoration and lighting, child space), working at the festival (at the bar, preparing food, supporting the organization of the festival) and clearing the space after.
Please note: Thursdays to Mondays are working days; Tuesdays and Wednesdays are either free days or arrival/departure days. This gives you also the opportunity to visit cities like Dresden in the week, when the shops are opened.
🏠 Accommodation on site
A big dormitory with mattresses under the roof of a partly renovated historical barn with sanitary facilities, hot shower in the building next door (please bring a warm sleeping bag and be prepared for fresh nights, which we sometimes get even in August!)
Self-catering in a covered open-air kitchen; organic vegetarian/vegan foods; vegetables mostly from our garden
