The experience

The house is located on 3,000 meters of land, mainly Mediterranean scrub, in a village of scattered houses in southern Sardinia. The place is very beautiful and peaceful, very suitable for meditation. Volunteers will be able to help me both at home and to redevelop the land that, when I arrived, was full of agaves and trash and turn it into a little paradise. I would like to later dedicate myself to growing medicinal plants.

Program Details

The plan is to improve the place with adjustments to the land that, living alone, I can't do because I don't have the skills. There are no pre-established tasks but I also intend to rely on the possible skills of the volunteers.

Activities & Shift

Activities may include pruning, gardening, cleaning the land and house, helping with any other tasks that are needed at the time. Shifts and times will be decided together and according to the needs of both parties.

Rules

The house does not use mains water and does not have a well, so there is a rainwater collection system; when it doesn't rain you can refuel with a paid tanker. It is important to be careful not to waste it. I practice Yoga and Meditation in the morning and at night and a certain amount of silence must be respected at these times. So if you want to participate you are welcome.
