The Experience

The Dojo is our communitarian space for activities. Ones it was a cow stable. Since 4 years we are aiming to finish all the works to make it become functional so we reinforced and rebuilt the roof but now is the time to restore the inside: open 2 points in the walls to insert doors and windows and prepare the floor for wooden planks. we will have to work with cement and concrete but we have all the important tools to make it become easier.

My experience in the community was very rewarding. I learned many new things. You can see a project that aims to create a sustainable community environment. The tasks I carried out as a job were very fun. Mauna is a very kind person and is always willing to help you. The location It is beautiful, you have a spectacular landscape from the moment you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night, a very good experience to which I hope to return one day.

Un lugar hermoso en medio de la naturaleza, para el que le gusta la montaña y también el mar. Una casa muy cómoda y muy cálida, un verdadero hogar! Aquí se aprende de todo un poco y se comparten momentos y experiencias únicas! Ideal para aquel que quiera tener la oportunidad de vivir de una manera diferente, sobre todo con ganas de estar tranquilo y en paz.

Grazie Eliseo, la tua presenza e` stata una benedizione in un momento delicato del nostro progetto. E` stato tutto un crescendo di esperienza da tutti i punti di vista sia quelli pratici che umani e spirituali. Dopo 1 mese e mezzo ti sentivamo gia` un fratello pronto ad unirti al nostro progetto.
Ti aspettiamo a tornare quando vorrai. un abbraccio. Suerte!!!!
