Activities & Shift

Each day, you’ll take part in preparing 3 shared meals with us and fellow travelers. We rotate the kitchen tasks, so everyone gets a turn. When not cooking, you may help with gardening, decorating, or simple house care.

Shifts are about 3 hours/day, giving you time to rest, learn, or explore. On warm evenings, we eat outside while the sun melts into the dunes. On cool nights, we gather inside and share stories by candlelight.

Rules

Here, there are no strict rules only mutual respect.
We ask you to be present, flexible, and kind. Water is sacred; please use it mindfully.
We live slowly, without schedules. Cooking is shared. Stories are too.
Be open. Be curious. Be part of the flow.
