Information about the hosting organization
Description of the organisation
The Synergy Village association runs a large property in Feldbach ZH at the Lake of Zurich. The former farm has been
transformed into a meeting place for local and international visitors. In the beautiful surroundings, visitors can
explore the magical grotto with waterfall, idyllic gardens with secluded lounges and the lookout at the top of the
property. Synergy Village runs a café, a guesthouse, an event venue and organizes its own cultural public events. The
property of Synergy Village also includes the "KREIS-Haus" - an almost self-sufficient tiny house that is operated as a
field lab in collaboration with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. For the operation and maintenance of the
property, Synergy Village works with international volunteers and the local association members. Synergy Village
aims to be a "Place of Inspiration" where people can be creative, try new things and learn from each other. By doing
so, Synergy Village follows the principles of a future-oriented and sustainable way of working and living.
