About Me

At the moment, I live in an old watermill I bought together with two friends in 2015, to start a sustainable co-housing and co-working project. Our goal is to create a space, where humans can live and regenerate a healthy and stable habitat. We also try to revive the local dance and music culture and create an open-minded environment for authentic human connection and relationships. In 2017, we hosted our first festival, www.denkwiese.org.
Also check out www.broemsenberg.org with some impressions from our watermill and www.homosilvaticus.con with information on my restoration agriculture and forest garden projects.

Teach, Learn, Share

When you come to my place and decide to stay a bit longer, I'd love to share my knowledge on forest garden design and ecological building, as well woodworking, soil improvement, carbon farming, terra preta, organic gardening and so on. Of course, there'll also be time to play music, sing, dance and have interesting conversations about philosophy, history, politics... :-)
I'm always looking for people who want to stay for an internship or wwoof at our place. So please have a look at www.homosilvaticus.com and www.broemsenberg.org and let me know if you're interested.
I also love having guests for short visits and frequently host cyclists or hikers. So even if you just need a place to stay, feel free to contact me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I'm on travel I can also share everything I carry around in my head :-) I also have two hands and can do all sorts of stuff with them. If you own a metal lathe, milling machine, table saw etc... I can probably operate it. If not, I can also cook bake, massage, water the garden, play music, dance... But since I'd rather do stuff together, it's more up to you or both of us. So let's see and let things happen :-)
