“This is not a Coliving,
This is an experiment.”
We hope to welcome you in the same spirit so that together we can explore the question:
How do we want to live?

What to expect
While Kathrin and Wojtek may sometimes take care of the logistics, we are all responsible for the experience and we organise, manage and facilitate the space together.
We will bring ideas and formats so that we have something to build on. We invite you to bring your ideas too!
- Multiple spaces and work areas
- Community cooking and dinners
- An intentional experience
- a wholelotta fun, I guess?
Living, working and eating under the same roof is part of the classic co-living setup. With noco we want to do a bit more to create meaningful moments where we can explore community living and grow as a group. For example…
✨ Sharing moments around:
- How would the perfect set-up look like for me? (Smorgasbord)
- Individual vs. collective needs
- Dreaming up (y)our life
- What is Home
🌈 Space to share our skills, thoughts and ideas
⛰️ Hikes, time in nature, visits to Ronda, Malaga or other small towns nearby, games, sitting around the fire, yoga & guided meditations.
… this is just a sample schedule and a starting point, once we get together we will adapt to the needs of the group and decide on our shared experiences.
Logistics, Pricing & getting there
- Everybody pays the same (including us)
- 500 Euro per person for 6 people
- If 8 people join (full house) the price goes down ⤵️
- In which case we will funnel the extra money in a community fund for groceries, firewood and common goods.
- The easiest way to get to the house is by car. We are happy to organise a car or pick you up if needed or rent a community car (not included in the price)
- Once the group is formed, we will consult with you in a community call to make sure that all your needs are met and that everything is communicated clearly and transparently from all sides.
How can I join?
- Once we have received your application, we will confirm your place and send you payment details.
… and then we will be super duper mega happy to welcome you to the first noco pop-up experience in Montecorto in February! - * For those we have not met yet: We will organise a video call with you to get to know each other and make sure we feel happy and aligned.
- ** In January we will have a short online call with all participants to set the scene, get a feel for the group and answer any questions before we arrive.
Cancellation
Life happens, plans change and we may not always have a say in it. If you need to cancel, this is how we would like to handle things:
If you find someone who can and will take your place, you will receive a refund (depending on the length of their stay). As this is at short notice, we have included additional cancellation options. For other experiences we will add more options in the future.
We want to make this as easy as possible for you and we hope you understand that organising this experience has taken a lot of time and work in advance, so we don’t feel comfortable offering full refunds regardless of context and timeframe.
If something unexpected happens, let’s talk!
Wojtek
WOJTEK
Content Creator and Creative Strategist by day, Meditation Guide and Philosopher by night – Wojtek has long been skeptical and critical of the hyper-individualistic lifestyle that we keep moving towards for a long time. In his view, exploring and building community carries less of a notion of going back to the roots, but of moving into a worthwhile future, finding new ways of living and improving our collective wellbeing.
Always ready for deep talks, sharing circles, heated debates or contemplation in complete silence, Wojtek brings a sense of calm, openness and willing enthusiasm to every conversation.
KATHRIN
Let’s do this! – When you first meet her, you might think she’s quiet, but don’t be fooled. When it comes to making a change and creating a meaningful life, Kathrin brings enough energy for all of us. She is passionate about human connection and sees community as a vital part of our future.
As a trainer and educator in peacebuilding, sustainability, travel and global learning, she has all the skills and knowledge you could wish for when it comes to building community. And if things ever go sideways, she will be there as a Harvard-trained mediator to hold the space and give time, power and attention to the voices that need to be heard.
Kathrin
Us being super excited!
FINAL THOUGHTS
Now that we got all the facts and logistics out of the way, the only thing that remainds to be said is:
We are looking forward to spend more time with you!
More quality time.
More intentional time.
More time together.
“This is notacoliving,
this is community in the making!”
