Waka Willka

Hi! My name's Steve, I'm English and I live in my own little slice of paradise with my kids (who are here at weekends), on a 7-hectare farm, with spectacular canyon views to one side, and our own accessible patch of river on the other.

I split up from the Colombian mother of my kids though we still work together as business partners. A lot of the work needed will be in eco-construction, but also agriculture and general cleaning, maintenance, etc. All volunteers cook together and are responsible for keeping the house clean and tidy. You don't need any skills but if you have them, that's really useful.

We have lots of projects that need enthusiastic hands. I am looking to build a house for myself and then houses for other members of the community. The idea is to start an intentional community and may be rent out some structures on airbnb etc. I'm looking to offer the sauna weekly to tourists, so I need help to keep it burning, attending tourists etc.

We have our own waterfalls, and are within 10 minutes walk of a series of public waterfalls. We have a wood-fired forest sauna made of earth bags, which we are trying to promote to tourists.

I am looking to create some integration activities on specific days on the farm such as 'digital detox / day without power', playing music together, movie night etc. We are offering a space and time for volunteers to offer their own workshops or to share knowledge. We plan on a space for swapping / selling products made by volunteers, ourselves or other members of the community.

We live about an hour's walk from town, taking in breathtaking valleys and small-scale coffee farms. Our aim to is to be entirely self-sufficient economically and in terms of food ... some day ... but it's a challenge especially when you have young children and limited resources...

Musicians are more than welcome. I like playing the guitar, ukulele and I have lots of percussion instruments. There's a guitar that's just for the volunteers. Most Sundays I take part in a medicine music gathering with other locals, and you are welcome to come. Even if you don't play an instrument, everyone is a musician when you have maracas! I can teach the basics...

In exchange for help I can share my knowledge of permaculture and natural building, and you can experience a truly stunning setting with a great atmosphere, views over a canyon and nature reserve, our own waterfalls, river etc. It's great for birding / birdwatching. Come along we could use your help!

We have been mostly dedicated to building so our garden has been neglected a little. The intention is to become self sufficient in food, however. I need help with weeding, planting etc.

I have lived for over 20 years in Colombia, first working as a teacher in Cali, then looking to find a more natural, less hectic life in San Agustin around 10 years ago. I enjoy playing music, badminton, table tennis, permaculture projects and hanging out with my kids who are mostly here at the weekend.

We are an equal opportunities placement and welcome all races and LGBT+.
