Program Details

Opening the doors for long term volunteers for Gota de Alma- 20 min north of Tomar in Central portugal.

Please read carefully and reach out only if serious 🙏

We have a magical dome and beautiful nature landscapes where we host events monthly- our next gathering takes place on the 12.10.

The support is 10 hours a week- we plan every week ahead- there will be days where you don't work at all. The support is mainly around easy maintenance- watering the plants, cutting grass, pulling out weeds, taking care of the communal spaces, and I'm always open for creative initiative.

The work is in exchange for accommodation in a dormitory wooden cabin with 3 mattresses and the use of all the facilities- communal kitchen, dome, internet, hot water shower.

Meaning each one takes care for their own food. Saying that, naturally many meals happen together.

It is manageable to be here without a car, but ideally and highly recommended would be to have a car for you to see all the beautiful spots in the area, and as the closest grocery shop is 40 min walk.

Open for minimum 2 weeks and up for a few months.

Rules

We do not provide food, cause we only ask for 10 hours per week of help.
