The experience

Hi, we’re Dario and Ivana. (We haven’t hosted for a while, but now we’re ready for a new location and a new project.) We live in Sparta, on the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily, about 20 km from Messina. We have a park and an olive grove, and we’d like to open a trail through the forest that leads to the sea, which is just 800 meters away, so it’s about a 15-minute walk to the beach. If you have a good team spirit and a sense of community, welcome!

Program Details

Volunteers can help with daily activities such as cleaning the garden, taking care of the vegetable patch, harvesting, and general maintenance.
We’d like to expand our gardens to become more self-sufficient. You can help us build a small tree house or a chicken coop, take care of the olive grove, or use your creativity to create art while helping to open the path to the sea.
You’re also welcome to lend a hand with household chores — anyone who’s not afraid to pick up a shovel is welcome!
We’re looking for people interested in organic farming, yoga, meditation, and nature, but we also welcome anyone who simply wants to take some time for themselves and enjoy the peace of the Sicilian countryside.

Activities & Shift

We ask for 4 hours of work per day, 5 days a week.
Food can be shared, but it is not included.

Rules

se avete un buon *spirito di squadra*, allora potrete godervi escursioni particolarmente belle - se invece siete in un "viaggio dell'ego" sarà un soggiorno breve! (Niente narcisismo, niente comportamenti aggressivi, niente droghe.) Vivere all'aria aperta in armonia con l'ambiente...
