Mihela is Slovenian and grew up close to this place, with family roots in Koroška; Robert is Dutch and Australian. Robert’s work as a facilitator and writer focused on dialogue, reflection, and collective understanding. Mihela worked on environmental education and campaigns, often at a scale and on global level, but too often removed from the places most affected. These experiences continue to shape how we think and listen, even as the work itself has changed.

Now, living with land, water, and forests here in Slovenia, we are learning a different rhythm — slower, more physical, and shaped by limits we cannot abstract away. Alongside this, we are actively restoring and caring for the land, developing it as a place for learning, observation, and shared work.

Mirn Grabn is not a project with an end date, but a way of staying with what we hold.

It is a long-term practice of attention, and an open invitation to work together toward conditions in which life here can continue — and what comes next can be shaped together.
