Vortex Philosophy
Aligning Nature and Consciousness
Harmonizing your inner world with the natural world around you
As eco-friendly boutique guesthouses, VORTEX Guesthouses aim to provide guests with a stay in harmony with themselves and nature. Our ultimate goal is to inspire a new awareness, contributing to a fair, sustainable society and the well-being of the individual in the long term.
What Is True Wealth?
When Henry Nold became unexpectedly wealthy, he realized that true richness lies in the diversity of creation. This insight guides him in shaping Vortex Guesthouses—unique, artistic sanctuaries where art, nature, freedom, and beauty coalesce. Far more than just accommodations, Vortex eco-homes are harmoniously designed and founded on the philosophy of permaculture. They invite you to forge new paths and explore unknown landscapes within yourself.
We’re not here to serve you the “wonder of creation;” we offer you the opportunity to discover it for yourself. At a Vortex Guesthouse, you can form deep connections with your inner self. Feel the wonder—carry this sensation within you. It will help you recognize and preserve the true value of life, even when you’re not at a Vortex Guesthouse.
Beauty Will Save the World
The idea that beauty will save the world isn’t just poetic; it’s a principle that fuels our endeavors. The Russian novelist Dostoevsky once wrote, “Beauty will save the world,” and we take this to heart. We believe that the pursuit and appreciation of beauty—be it in art, nature, or human interaction—have the power to uplift the spirit and bring about meaningful change.
Our Mission
To create unique spaces of harmony and awakening.
Our Vision
A world where we treat each other and the planet with care, sharing natural resources justly among all Earth’s inhabitants.
Our core values
Freedom
We believe that no one and nothing except ourselves give life meaning, and we support everyone on their journey toward this independence.
Creativity
We believe in the power of beauty and harmony, and that every person is an artist capable of creating new worlds through their imagination.
Sustainability
We believe that true humanity is dedicated to giving and sharing, and that humans should not dominate nature but understand and cooperate with it.
Feel the Wonder
Many of our guests come burdened with daily pressures but leave feeling as though they’ve rediscovered something essential. At Vortex, we don’t serve wonder on a silver platter; instead, we provide the tranquil space and the natural beauty that allows you to unearth it for yourself. Whether that’s a quiet moment by our private lake or a meandering walk through the woods, the essence of Vortex invites you to “feel the wonder.” This is an experience that stays with you, enriching your daily life long after you’ve left our premises.
