Spring Subbotnik at Coconat 🌱

Spring is coming—and with it our community Subbotnik at Coconat.

We warmly invite everyone to join us for a few days of hands-on work as we prepare the Coconat grounds for the new season. As a thank you, all helpers receive free accommodation and meals during their stay—and families are very welcome to join and can stay for free as well.

📅 March 28–31
🛏 Stay possible: March 27 – April 1
🕙 Working hours: daily 10:00–16:00

Depending on how many people join, we’ll take care of different tasks around the property and buildings. If many people come (10+ helpers), we’ll also organize garden and outdoor projects to get everything ready for spring.

After the workday, there will be plenty of time to enjoy what makes Coconat special: campfires, sauna, walks in nature, and shared meals together.

If you’d like to spend a few days outdoors, meet new people, and be part of the Coconat community while helping us get ready for the season, we’d love to hear from you.
