Shambhala

You will learn something new. How to live in nature, frugal way of life, edible and healing plants, ecological building and about spiritual connection betwen humans and nature.

We are 3 ladies Danijela, Danica & Sanja with our own properties & we really appreciate mail or couple help around our properties. There are lot of various jobs like building, gardening, help to Danica keeping her little son, walking dogs, maintainence & it is never boring. We are all vegetarians & trying to live in harmony with nature as much as we can. We lead simple lives & like to hang with other people from eco village & guests. We all have lots of cats and dogs that we are saving. We are part of the Blatuša eco village, which is often visited by other workaway voulonteers. We are surrounded by forests and nature, a lake and a spa are close by, and Zagreb is 1 hour away. Nearby are springs of drinking water and an area rich in wild plants and mushrooms. We are going to teach you an ecological way of life with nature and spiritual values. The eco village is multinational in character and we all speak English, some also Italian and German. We have no problem with smokers, but drugs and alcohol are not welcome in our households. This is a very nice way to find out how the eco-village works and the relationships between its inhabitants develop.

Very peaceful place. Plenty of tasks to do but the host has an excellent time management. Danijela is very thoughtful. Meals provided were delicious and more than enough. I recommend to bring with you many warm clothes on winter, and be ready to get dirty haha
My partner and I, we had a great time over there, in touch with nature and with the lovely cats she has. Big hugs! Thank you, Dani!

Danijela and Tolga welcomed us very well. When we arrived, everything was clear about the place to live, daily tasks, day off, lunch, breakfast, etc... Claire helped mainly in the garden and Bruno helped to build a A-Frame house. We shared times to discuss about our commitments, ecological réflexion, cuture differences between Crotia, Turkey and France. It was a wonderful experience.

Excellent welcome from Danijela who made us feel at ease as soon as we arrived! It was our first experience and it was positive! Great encounters! We lived in the forest surrounded by nature. Thank you for everything Danijela!

If you're looking for a tranquil and fulfilling experience, this is where you want to go. Danijela is attentive and caring, makes sure you have everything you need, and of course takes the time to share her vast knowledge about permaculture and the interesting Croatian culture. It takes a few days to adapt to living so close with nature, but once you get the hang of it - it actually is so relaxing and beautiful. I loved my time spent there and would definitely come again if I had the chance!

Lihi is very nice & intelligent company. She is also very good & hard worker. Her military experience made her organized, fas & disciplined. Faced with challenges of nature like bugs & so she came through it & took it good after she got used to it. Good helper & interesting person :)

The experience staying with Danijela was amazing, Adri and I felt really warmly welcomed there, and since moment one felt at home surrounded by wonderful nature. Danijela was sincere and clear about the tasks ans hours and also cooked for us delicious meals. And provided the most wonderful cheese we have ever tried, and tasty bread. She thought always in how we felt, our needs and wants. She is so sweet and warm. She teaches us so many things that I cannot put in text: about croatian history and culture, about ecology, gardening, cooking, natural cosmetics... we had such a great time :)
