Obenaus welcomes those who wish to spend time here — as guests, as helpers, or as professionals offering their gifts.

 

This is a place where things unfold slowly and naturally. Whether you’re just passing through or exploring a longer relationship with the land and people here, you are invited into a rhythm of quiet work, simple meals, and meaningful exchange.

 

Three ways to join us:

 

1. Stay as a Guest

Come and rest. Work remotely for a few days. Share a fire. Walk the hills. Bring your family.

When space is available, we offer short stays for individuals, couples, and families.

 

2. Join as a Work-and-Travel Companion

Exchange your energy for your stay. Help in the garden, around the house, with building, cleaning, or projects — based on your skills and our needs.

We live closely, but without pressure. Meals may be shared. Days are gently structured.

 

3. Collaborate Professionally

Are you a coach, therapist, artist, bodyworker, or guide? Do you work mostly online — but long for in-person depth?

You’re invited to:

•Host sessions or retreats here (space allowing)

•Add your services to our website and community offerings

•Stay nearby and use OpenHouse as a place to meet clients or connect

 

We’ve already welcomed bodyworkers, constellators, and teachers. Some live locally, others come seasonally. We’re building a quiet network of kindred practitioners — and we’re happy to link to your work.
