We are a dedicated team passionate about sustainability, community, and holistic living. Our mission is to create a sanctuary where nature and nurture come together, providing a space for individuals to connect with the environment and each other. We're nurturing an incredible eco retreat surrounded by the most beautiful natural settings. We are looking for like-minded active people who want to come and enjoy the tranquil mountains and help with daily tasks in exchange for accommodation and food harvested from the land. Activities could include building and updating irrigation systems, designing and building solar microgrids, learning and implementing organic farming practices, and general handy work and maintenance like painting, cleaning, etc. New construction projects will continue to arise, so building knowledge will be quite useful. For those experienced or seeking to add to the programming activities for other volunteers, experience relating to things like yoga, meditation, massage, jiu-jitsu, and eco-sustainability are welcome! The exchange is for a minimum of 2 weeks. 5 hours a day / 5 days a week. We begin each day at 8:15 am. and our community meal is at 1:15pm and is a Simple VEGAN Meal consisting of soup or another dish and bread or rice or noodles. Most tasks are active and outdoors so be sure to stay hydrated and bring your protective gear (closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, hat, long sleeve, pants, sunscreen, natural bug spray, headlamps, gloves etc.). An ideal guest embodies respect, responsibility, and a passion for outdoor work and learning. They are punctual, diligent in cleaning up tools and spaces after use, and demonstrate a proactive approach to tasks. This individual embraces the outdoor environment, capable of working under the sun, and eager to expand their skills and knowledge. They value others' time, privacy, and property, fostering a harmonious community atmosphere. Passionate about nature and holistic wellness, they contribute positively to our shared goals of sustainability and personal growth.
