What we do

We are around about 10 people (adults and children, including guests and helpers) who are living as a community on a beautiful piece of land near the river Saale in the area Franzigmark. Close to Halle Saale Germany Here we are working on all different kinds of projects.
On the land, which we bought in the beginning of 2018 as a nonprofit organisation, is next to a lot of beautiful green space and a few neighbours.
Since than we invested a lot of time, energy and love to restore some of the existing buildings, and cleared up the land from the trash and junk from the past. We are giving birth here to a new alternative lifestyle as a socio-cultural, eco-friendly community doing our best to live in harmony with each other and with nature.
The main motivation and drive behind all our actions is to live sustainability.
Therefore, we started to renovate the sheds in an ecological and aesthetical way, turning them, step by step, into open workshop spaces. Also, the main house, which we use as our common kitchen and dining area at the moment, is still under construction and is waiting to get a second floor on top, which will be used as a seminar room.
In our community we live by a horizontal decision-making structure, where we learn a lot from each other in our daily lives. We are thriving and evolving with many different kinds of creativity. Mainly in the fields of art, music, social work, carpentry crafting and building. All these skills come together in our common living as a group. They are also visible in the construction processes of all of our building projects.
We try to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible by recycling and upcycling all different kinds of materials. We also try to spread more awareness and sensitivity about sustainability in our environment.
We enjoy to create a space to share our passions (Building, Crafts, acrobatics, theatre, Clown, Ceramics, Instrument building, Yoga, Group process’) and open spaces for people to realise theirs.

Gaia Ashram Internship

The Pioneers of Gaia Ashram , 5th of July– 2nd of August 2015 The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes usi
