Smol'e - a dream
Hello, dear friends! Smol'e is a very special place. Unfortunately we don't know much of its history. But we have met wonderful people, our neighbors, who have lived there and in the surrounding areas for generations.
The nature is very special also, it attracts the body and the soul and gives peace, tranquility and reverence for the divine.
Just look at the pictures and make an impression yourself. You'll want to visit the place!
Impressions from 1995-1997Here are pictures of how it all began: the first house, the building of the assembly and meeting house, the first camps, summer schools and Ruhi seminars. |

Impressions from 1998Here are some pictures of our animals and the work in the garden, of the first days of the "One World" dance workshop and many more schools. You'll meet friends from Germany who have come to support the projects. We are thankful for all the support and the knowledge we gained through the cultural exchange. |
The kids act the realities from 60 years ago
The summer breaks in Belarus last 3 months. Enough time to go wild on the Datsha. Jana, Janis and the neighbors' grandchildren undertook a lot of things together: they built tree houses and rafts, recorded a broadcasting for the radio, directed a film and played in it... The idea for the film came from Helmut's story of his father who was here during the war.
How a well comes into being
A 25 meter deep artesian well was cased to supply the Smol'e project with water.
