The experience

Activities & Shift

You can help with tree planting, cultivating, coconut oil labeling/production, Eco-construction, ceramics etc. It's not very ridged, so you can participate in the activities you are more interested in.

After working we highly recommend going for a swim in the river, going for a hike in the forest right here, or going for a walk to visit some of our friendly neighbors. Just ask and we can point you in your desired direction.
In the evenings we will usually be in the common area, have either a game night, a bonfire by the river with guitar and/or drum depending on the talent of the volunteers :) , or sometimes even a movie night with popcorn on the projector screen.
On the week-end we will organize a trip to one of the local attractions like waterfalls with some small cliff jumping, etc.

Rules
