Dohma, close to Pirna
Come to an organic, self-sufficient fruit garden in the valleys close to the Saxon Switzerland and a lake
Come and help pick herbs and fruits from trees and bushes inside and close to the forest
Enjoy Nature and a little stream
There is a well:) and fresh water
It is pretty close to spartan living, but you can sleep inside a stone house if you want, in a tent or outside
If you are into vegetarian,vegan and raw food then this is almost paradise for you;)
Means also there will be only rivershowers and nature toilets and toilet paper will be leaves or use your hand and water for sanitization
Note that food will be only the fruits and nuts and herbs and water unless you bring sth else yourself
It has to be at least vegetarian though
Note! There will be no "normal" meals provided and also it would be ideal if you have experience in meditation or yoga
Also for very trustworthy people who can stay alone or be leaders it's also possible to stay during the winter and the spring.
This is also partly a Degrowth Project if you are into that.
Oh and there is a lake 20 min by bike and an awesome mountain with supoosedly dwarves or locally called "Quarkse";)

This year, the third edition of the Summer School on Degrowth and Environmental Justice, organized by ICTAand Research & Degrowth, takes place place in Barcelona (Spain) and Cerbère (France), 4th-15th July 2016.
This event entails many debates focused around the issue of degrowth, as a path to environmental justice that aspires to recreate the conditions for a 'good life', or 'buen vivir', and grounded in participative democracy. It comes as a warm up to the 5th international conference on degrowth, hosted in Budapest this year.
Using various teaching tools such as academic lectures, discussions, or participative workshops, the Summer School on Degrowth and Environmental Justice will thus try to address questions around the degrowth frame itself and how to embrace it, especially on a local level; around the integration of the diversity of degrowth sources, strategies and actors into a single proposal; on South-North/North-South dynamics around environmental justice; around the role of commons, social movements and ground-level democracy, and so on.
Emphasis will be put on bottom-up local initiatives around the world that challenge the narrative of growth-driven prosperity. Firstly, the initiatives that take place in urban context, where most of the people in the global North live, will be explored. In this respect, having new municipal council in Barcelona is a unique opportunity, for it is rooted in the city’s civil society, social movements and solidarity economy networks. Secondly, the defence of the commons, and the processes of communing, will be embraced as a theoretical base for developing degrowth proposals. Participants will focus on effective collective practices and radically democratic solutions for organising social relationships and serve material needs.
Last but not least, one day will be dedicated to a visit and exploration of a nearby environmental conflict, from where participants will move on to Can Masdéu, an occupied peri-urban, semi-rural, intentional community and social center on the outskirts of Barcelona, dedicated to experiencing social and environmental sustainability.
