Program Details
This is not a structured program—we offer a raw, off-grid experience for those with a strong work ethic and love for solitude. Volunteers must be responsible, organized, and committed to 4 hours of work per day (Mon–Fri). You’ll be fully immersed in nature—no electricity, no internet, just silence, birdsong, and mountain air. Ideal for those who thrive in peaceful isolation.
Activities & Shift
We ask volunteers to help 2–4 hours per day, Monday to Friday.
Tasks vary depending on the moment and may include:
• Gardening, composting, and planting
• Shoveling, wheelbarrowing, hauling gravel, soil, or sand

• Light construction or repairs
• Occasional errands or organizing
Please let us know in advance if you have any physical limitations.
