Haus Wabi Sabi is a visionary model that unites many human needs under one roof: a community café, a spacious play area with childcare if needed, family lounge, a multipurpose room for yoga, meditation, events and co-working, and a small shop. We support the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing our of community with a holistic offering.
Our idea for Haus Wabi Sabi was born out of a desire to show our children how community and mindfulness can coexist and thrive together. Since 2020 we have been running a community space where children and their future and the needs of parents are central, but everyone should feel welcome and seen. Without any expectations of perfection. No matter how old or young, or in what situation of life: after all, we are all in the same boat on the waves of life.
We focus on sustainability, mindfulness, authenticity and wellbeing. We strengthen families, bring people together, create free space and offer flexibility and delicious cappuccino. For families and for everyone who loves community!

Haus Wabi Sabi is a response to many global and local challenges. We are convinced that creative and modern models are needed for a new togetherness based on support, responsibility and connectedness. In the nuclear family where there is pressure for performance and perfection, burnout is often closer than we'd like to admit. We need more flexible, accessible and affordable support models like Haus Wabi Sabi that support daily wellbeing, creating small but impactful oases that strengthen us and our families.
Think global, act local. As much as we want to add value in our immediate environment, we pay attention to global issues and look for solutions on how to integrate solutions to those challenges in our daily choices. While nourishing the wellbeing of our guests, we also consider how we can support sustainability, environmental protection, animal wellbeing, food scarcity and labor fairness, so as not to lose sight of the big picture. We think in a time of massive environmental impact, famine, exploitative working conditions, animal suffering, water scarcity (just to name a few issues), there is a need for more models like Haus Wabi Sabi that take global responsibility seriously and still offer true value on a local scale.

Haus Wabi Sabi is a response to many global and local challenges.

In the nuclear family with high pressure to do everything perfectly and alone, burnout and dissatisfaction are often closer than we'd like to admit. We need more flexible, accessible and affordable support models like Haus Wabi Sabi that foster our daily wellbeing in small but impactful ways. We can all benefit from small oases in everyday life that help strengthen us and our families.
Think global, act local. As much as we want to add value in our immediate environment, we are very aware of the global challenges that will affect our children and grandchildren even more than us. While nourishing the wellbeing of our guests, we also strive to consider issues such as sustainability, environmental protection, animal welfare, food scarcity and labor fairness, so as not to lose sight of the big picture.
We feel strongly that there is a dire need for more models like Haus Wabi Sabi that take global responsibility seriously and still offer true value on a local scale.

We met in 2017 and connected over similar interests and values. Shortly after, we discovered that we had both written concepts for a very similar values-based community space 8 years prior. We knew we had to work together.
As mothers, we are highly motivated to show our children that it is possible to live and do business mindfully, ethically and compassionately. As visionaries, we are driven to create new models that make community authentic and accessible. As dreamers, we believe we are capable of bringing so much more beauty into this world. As realists, we are convinced of market demand and feasibility.
We are grateful, enthusiastic and highly committed. Grateful to have the opportunity to advocate for something we feel is essential. Enthusiastic about so many people who support us and carry this vision together with us. Highly committed to using our skills to make Haus Wabi Sabi flourish and to nurture it.
Special thanks to our current team who are also committed to this crowdfunding project: Alexandra, Ananda, Devi, Durim, Erifili, Fahima, Laura, Natalie, Rebecca and Regina.

Haus Wabi Sabi GmbH
Lachen, CH
Haus Wabi Sabi is a social project that strengthens families, brings people together, creates freedom and offers flexibility. We are committed to sustainability, mindfulness, authenticity and wellbeing. We believe that the idea of Haus Wabi Sabi is worth sharing with the world. After a difficult start since November 2020 with Covid restrictions and a construction site at our doorstep, we need financial support to continue.
Our idea for Haus Wabi Sabi was born out of the desire to show our children a way of living where togetherness and mindfulness meet, where children and their future and the needs of the parents are the center of everything we do. Without the need to be perfect. We want you to feel at home with us, knowing that you don't have to be perfect to be valued. No matter how old, young, in what situation of life, with what suitcase, lost dreams, or tangible visions. After all, we are all in the same boat - on the waves of life.
We see ourselves as "vision keepers". We carry the vision and create the space for its realisation.

Vision Keeper
I grew up in a very small immigrant family in Canada without the support of relatives or a village but with inspiration and guidance from entrepreneurial parents. We were nomads, so to speak, moving often without ever putting down roots. My travels as an adult took me to Europe and then the US, where my children were born in 2009 and 2011. Raising children completely isolated from a reliable support system was extremely challenging and inspired new ideas for solving the problems that so many parents share. Viewing the world as a mother sparked the fire within me to create the compassionate and just world I wished for my children.
I dreamed of a place where my children's needs could be met as well as my own, where I could create a new way of living rather than just talking about it. A place where people could find a deeper connection with themselves and others through community, yoga and new experiences, with the intention of helping them open their hearts and minds to compassionate, sustainable and mindful living. Haus Wabi Sabi is the manifestation of that vision, now carried by a team of people who share this vision.

I was raised by a whole village. As the youngest of 7 children, I spent the first 8 years of my life in Kosovo in a large family with a dense social network before my family moved to Switzerland. Besides my parents, several other relatives and neighbors took care of me, played with me, taught me, talked to me, influenced me and shaped me. An experience that seems so unreal in contrast to the reality of our isolated society - and yet so valuable. We could grow up so carefree as children. We could live according to our own rhythm and had playmates at all times.
Such a supportive coexistence is not feasible here. Maybe it doesn't have to be. But we can create more opportunities to strengthen each other. I look at my 7 year old son and my deepest wish is that he can be happy, free, carefree, inspired, curious, compassionate - that he can be a child. I wish that for all children. Haus Wabi Sabi is a dedication to my child - to all children.
