Our time with volunteer Florian 15th of August – 4th of November 2021
An old client of mine reached out to me, 27years young Florian from Germany. I have worked with him as a Mind-Body-Nutrition-Ecosystem-Spirit Coach (specified on clients with Autoimmune Diseases, allergies, food intolerances, digestive problems, fatigue, concentration problems, highly sensitivity etc…) and I felt that for him a big step to come more into his metabolic power will be to find his mission as a man in this world, to gain strength for his immune system by putting his hands to real work and strengthening his body and spirit.
So we made a deal: He can live and eat with us for free and participate in all our lifestyle activities (Breathwork, Yoga, healthy cooking, gardening, sports…) and in return supports us on the farm, where help is always needed, especially now in our beginnings and me fatigued in the first trimester of my first pregnancy.
It was a pleasant experience for all of us with this lively, creative and cheerful soul and a beautiful time where we shared food, work healthy lifestyle, island life and adventure. Thank you so much for your muscles, brains and laughters, dear Florian!
Our first meal together. Florian is amazed by the colorful garden-treasures. 
View towards Sao Jorge 
Slowly the Azorians resume with their beautiful little street festivals. 
Filarmonica 
Florian was residing in the garden house 
Introducing Florian to Lapas (Limpets), a sea snail. 
The men are building an original Finish sauna! 
Florian loves sauna and missed it a lot during Covid-time, and helped enthusiastically to finish ours, so we could have some rustic wellness sessions together. 
Visit from friend José for making some music together 
Harvest for juicing 
A detox morning 
I mixed apple, carrot and beetroot 
and added some hemp- and CBD oil 
Simple good food, mostly from the garden 
Spaghetti squash 
Always a lot to do when eating a real food diet! 
But so worth it. 
Continuing the work on the sauna 
Party at our new neighbors Diana and Peter-Pan. They bought the house of our old friends, who also were the previous owners of our house. In this kitchen Jan and I met the first time! 
Honestly, during Corona time here on the Azores I had more social life than ever before in my life 
Boat trip with Henrietta! 
On his last day Florian finds the courage to take up the big challenge: Ice bath! 
Brave strong man 
Indescribable feeling! 
He even went a second time! 
Sadly he had to leave one day before Jan´s birthday, but he made us this fantastic chia-coconut-mango pudding as a good bye gift.
