Me and my family - my wife Paula Mare and two little sons Klīvs and Tālavs- live at countryside. We have a wide yard besides a small river, garden with agricultural and some spiritual elements, fireplace and inspiring view to a field that changes according to seasons.
Both of us adults are somehow connected with the Waldorf education system.
Paula has graduated the Waldorf School but I am conducting the orchestra with a wide spectrum of musical instruments in the same school.
We are living with music and nature. Paula plays mandoline and bagpipes and knows a lot of more or less old folk songs. I'm a guitar player and music writer with philosophical life background.
Two years ago we built a strawbale bathroom for our house.
Our house is not too big but we can find a place for You inside in the room or outside in the tent (we can lend it if You don't have it ) with outdoor toilet and fire place. Of course, You can use our bathroom and are welcome to eat with us in the kitchen.
The seaside is 3 km walk by feet or riding bicycle.
