Workaway Agreement & Terms of Stay
Sanssouci Palatina at the former Stiftung Keysermeuhle has a long history as a monastery mill. It is located in the Palatinate region of southwest Germany, at the heart of one of the largest wine regions in Europe. The former hotel and conference facility is being reopened as a FLINTA-owned retreat hotel. It will be a living environment and a role-model for community. All who come here in whatever role are an important part of its creation.
We are creating an inclusive space which welcomes the full range of human experience. We believe in life without fear or shame. We ask that this openness be met with equal care for the space and for one another.
The Exchange
In return for your contribution to the property, we offer:
• Single, or shared double or triple for the duration of your stay, subject to availability, role and length of stay
• Two meals per day, prepared, served, and cleaned up after, communally
• Full use of communal spaces and the garden
• Access to laundry facilities
• WiFi throughout the property
Working Hours
We ask for 4 hours of exchange work per day, 5 days per week. The nature of the work is varied and will be agreed week to week in conversation with you. We believe in strong communication. If something isn't working, we say so early and kindly.
Trial Period & Notice
All stays begin with a 5-day trial. At the end of this period, we will sit down together and discuss how it has felt for both sides. If we choose to continue, we will agree on the shape of a longer stay at that point.
During the Workaway trial period: we ask for as much notice as possible on either side, with a minimum of one week where circumstances allow.
Once a longer stay is agreed: a minimum of two weeks' notice is requested from either party.
Guests
You are welcome to have visitors. We ask only that you have a brief conversation with us beforehand, so we can make sure the timing works for the house. Overnight guests are included in this, just let us know. Guests staying more than one night are expected to join and help on the same terms.
Paid Work & Status
Opportunities for paid work may arise as the property develops. These will be discussed openly and agreed separately, with fair terms for both sides. Nothing is assumed or implied by this agreement.
To volunteer you must also have the right to work in Europe. Volunteer work is classed in this way.
Kindly note that we cannot sponsor work visas.
The Spirit of the Place
Sanssouci means without a care in the world. That is not carelessness, but freedom from the anxious kind of care that stops us from being fully present. We are building a space where the full range of human experience is welcome: grief and joy, uncertainty and clarity, work and rest, solitude and togetherness.
We don't ask you to perform wellness or productivity. We as
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
