Description
Hello all Workawayers 😃
Please read full profile before applying.
My name is Tina and I am creating a beautiful Finca here in the heart of Costa del Sol.
I mostly need help with maintaining and expanding the garden, painting, cooking, construction, caring for my dogs etc.
I am looking for Workawayers over 25 years old and I also wish that you are passionate about nature and enjoy a simple and natural lifestyle.
My plan is to have different workshops where people learn how to connect with the nature and deepen their awareness of their self and experience inner and outer wisdom.
It would be excellent if you have a solid experience in gardening/farming or building and maintenance and willing and able to adjust to an ethical lifestyle. You should also have good manners, be open for communication, concious and able to see and take your life in your own hands. You should be able to work independently and also have experience with living on your own, to be able to keep your room and common kitchen tidy and clean.
It still needs a lot to become a place where people meet and can connect with the nature.
This has been a very famous retreat center before and I want to take up that path again.
The center is not yet operational, so I don't provide any courses or teachings yet. Occasionally we may have a small ceremony, in which you are most welcome to attend if you so choose.
Drugs are not allowed.
You receive breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Please bring only ecological soap, shampoo, washing powder etc.
The Finca is situated 15 min. by car from Fuengirola up into the mountains.
On your arrival/departure you get a ride by me from/to the Fuengirola train station.
There is a bus stop within 30 min. walk from the Finca. Buses are scheduled 3 times a day down to Fuengirola and back .
Welcome to my place ☀️🌴🌷
