The community project is nestled between forest, torrent, meadows and the Swiss shores of Untersee. Since 2003, an average of 60 people have been living on 5 hectares with partly listed buildings, large natural areas and a beach.
Our interest to face our responsibility unites us as well as contributing to new ways of life. We seek synergy between personal needs & commitment to a common vision. We face the challenge of organizing and developing the community in balance, while shaping life together. We strengthen our connection by making music together, practicing circle culture in binding groups and multi-day intensives.
Our tools include community building according to Scott Peck, Zegg Forum, and mental distinctions from Possibility Management. Our bright principles are authenticity, transformation, creativity and connectedness. We are open to people who see community as an opportunity to grow together and bring a new culture into the world.
Since 2023, a satellite circle has been forming in the surrounding area with people who want to stay in touch but do not want to make the intensive commitment to actively participate in the project.
In 2003, we opened a seminar center with mainly external international seminar leaders (10,000 stays/year). In 2024, a private school for cognitively impaired children and a food co-op. Therapists, coaches and artists individual entrepreneurs enrich the space. Offerings include yoga, systemic constellations, improv theater, mantra singing, concerts, creative workshops and more round off the range of activities.
In 2012, permaculture was established on 5000 square meters. In 2023, the Academy for Community Education opened. Trainers offer community education as well as in-depth workshops
The need to maintain and renovate the property requires people who also contribute financially to the social focus of the project. Everyone who lives with us for a longer period acquires at least 1 share and becomes a shareholder in the property.
