Work: You will rake, turn and pile hay in the nuns' garden, remove invasive trees in the orchards, try to produce biochar, landscape the monastery garden, maintain the community garden, and sort building stones from the reconstructed parts of the monastery. We would also like to dedicate one day of work to the local community, which we will probably help with the maintenance of the park. The work will be varied and adjusted to the physical abilities of the volunteers and the weather conditions. Part of the team will always be involved in cook-ing for everyone from provided ingredients - for environmental and ethical reasons, we will cook only vegetari-an food. No previous experience is required. Bring suitable clothes and shoes for work that can get dirty or damaged.
Study part: You will have an opportunity to present the culture and cuisine of your country to the local com-munity or children from local schools. You will also go on a guided tour of the Porta Coeli monastery and see parts of the monastery where the public is not allowed. You will learn a lot about the history of the monastery, which also represents the history of Moravia and the Czech Republic. There is also a brewery on the grounds of the monastery, so volunteers can learn about beer production during the excursion. We will also organize a guided tour of Brno or a visit to Pernstejn Castle.
You will be accommodated in the monastery on mattresses but you can bring your own hammock/camping mat and sleep outside. Everyone is required to bring a sleeping bag! There is a shower and a toilet inside the building and two more showers and four dry toilets outside. Wifi is available. A few volunteers will always prepare vegetarian food for everyone from provided ingredients. Bring your favourite recipes.
Location: Predklasteri. A small village (1400 inhabitants) about 30 km from Brno. It is situated in a picturesque landscape and it is considered to be the gateway to the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The monastery is located in the middle of the village of Predklasteri, there is also a shop, a post office, and a bus stop, and the closest train station is a 20-minute walk away in the town of Tisnov. GSM signal and Wifi available.
Leisure time: There is a weir on the river where you can swim and also a public swimming pool (1 km from the monastery), and a municipal park with an outdoor workout gym. You can make bonfires and barbecues in the monastery garden, and sing, there is a guitar.
The project is organized in cooperation with the association Hojnost (abundance) which sees the future in collaboration and living soil. Therefore, they support organic farming and a dignified and meaningful life in the countryside such as a restoration of the old orchards of the Porta Coeli monastery, a self-sufficient community garden and projects aimed at environmental education. The goal of the project is to help with all those activities and to mingle with the local community. In this project, you are actively contributing toward the achievement of the UN SDG11 Sustainable Cities and Communities and UN SDG15 Life on Land.
The consumption of hard alcohol is strictly prohibited in the area of the monastery, but you can visit a pub in the village. You must respect the quiet hours and be respectful towards the nuns living in the monastery. Bring your own sleeping bag, clothes and shoes suitable for work and a hat. We will cook only vegetarian food.
