Activities & Shift

⏰ Volunteering Hours and Tasks
🌿 4 hours/day (🕙 10 AM – 🕑 2 PM)
→ Outdoor tasks like cutting grass, building, gardening, etc.

🍽️ 5 hours/day (🕙 10 AM – 🕒 3 PM)
→ A mix of 2.5h outdoor work + 2.5h helping with cooking and cleaning.

❓ Why are the hours longer?
Because in most volunteer projects, you work a few hours and then cook and clean for yourself during your free time.
Here, we include those tasks as part of the volunteering to keep things fair for everyone.
💚 If you're cooking or cleaning for the group, it makes sense that the total time is a bit longer.

💫 Do everything with love
It’s not about being perfect — just bring good vibes and a kind heart into whatever you do.

⚠️ Note: Hours may shift depending on the weather. ☀️🌧️

Rules

⚡ Important Things to Know

🟢Keep it clean and cozy.
We’re looking for someone organized and tidy — a clean space helps keep good energy flowing.

🟢Vegan-friendly home.
I’m vegan and would love to keep the house meat- and fish-free. It’s okay if you need it occasionally, but please be mindful.

🟢Still a growing project.
This is not a community (yet!), but we have lovely neighbors and connections nearby.

🟢Substance-free space.
No alcohol or drugs here. I’ve been through that chapter — now I’m creating a space based on clarity, presence, and conscious living.

🟢Eco-friendly personal care.
Please bring your own eco-friendly toiletries (shampoo, soap, toothpaste) with at least 95% natural ingredients — we reuse water, and nature says thank you! 🌱

🟢Where we are.
We’re located just 12 km from Tarifa, inside the Estrecho Natural Park.
You can search Punta Paloma or Playa de Valdevaqueros on Google Maps to find us.
