The Experience

Necesitamos dos personas , en los meses de junio, julio, agosto y septiembre. Recordar, para solicitar el voluntariado, mandarnos el cuestionario y los dos documentos rellenados. Gracias. Un abrazo. Seguimos alimentación vegana y la compatibilidad de alimentos (sin pan ni fruta ni postres). No está incluido el desayuno. Es para utilizar desbrozadora de hilo y hierro y motosierra, pedimos personas con experiencia en estas dos herramientas.

Eco Aldea is a beautiful place where the intention is to create a large community. It is a place where you practice and develop a new way. For those who like spirituality, spiritualism, astrology, Buddhism, meditation, you will feel cosy because there are many activities. It is a new experience that I lived and enjoyed. Would you live every day like this? No, I am a spiritualist, I have my convictions, I like my freedom. And I believe that we don't need to isolate ourselves to be happy. We came here for a mission, in which we have to live together and face problems together.

Poder ter o privilégio de estar na ecovila Vegana Spiral foi um dos acontecimentos mais marcantes e transformadores da minha vida. É um lugar para se conectar com as pessoas, com a natureza e consigo mesmo e de muito crescimento.

Excelente lugar para reflexão, também seria para estudos e trabalhos se a internet não fosse tão precária, praticamente inexistente no local que é liberado a utilização dentro da Ecovila(dormitórios ou fora da Ecovila na aldeia) se não quiser sentir solidão, procure saber com o anfitrião se nas datas pretendidas terá outras pessoas além dos anfitriões que é composto por um casal e um filho somente, que só estão presentes praticamente durante as tarefas, quando são necessários. Anfitriões muito amorosos e carinhosos. Tenha recursos para comprar com eles os produtos veganos e lanterna
