Are you planning a trip to Switzerland? Are you looking for free food and accommodation in exchange for your helpful hands? Do you wanna get to know an intentional community project in a rural area and meet inspiring people?

Exchange of work

Would you like to work with us in the garden, help with cooking, help out around the house, or even help with a clean-up? We are looking forward to your request. Minimum stay is 2 weeks (preferably 4 weeks).

We are a young community of nine adults and nine children, living in the former seminar center in Emmental, Switzerland, since July 2022. Here, step by step, a holistic, regenerative field of peaceful cultural transformation is emerging. We live this through our educational oasis, our health and healing biotope, permaculture landscaping and communal living. We would like your assistence in our daily community life, mostly for cleaning and in our big household (not for business activities).

We offer:

• Food and lodging within our project in your own room
• Authentic community life with families („evening program“ is more the exception rather than the rule)
• Clear communication and guidance
• Use of the our outdoor clay sauna and various therapeutic services (additional payment tbd)

You offer:

• 5 hours of help per day, five days a week in the activities we instruct you to perform
• Ability to independently handle household tasks (cleaning, cooking, gardening – depending on the season).
• Reliability and open communication

Please notice: the minimum stay is 2 weeks in order to give you the opportunity to land in the community. Short visits are very challenging especially for our younger community members and are therefore warmly rejected.
