Description
I have 2 hectares in the mountains next to Bogotá, which are transformed into an ecological and "frequency" project in order to help people who want to visit the mountains or want to rent for seminars, workshops or other activities of inspiration and change. The project is to make a small contribution to the peace process in Colombia by instilling people with alternative ideas, creativity and especially: energy. Our project es the only place in the world where the frequencies of nature are improved and used to influence consciously in human beings. The mountain has a plateau on which we built a glass house and different ecosystems full of highland plants, woods, brooks and ponds with a wonderful panoramic view of the valleys. The different ecosystems are to be converted into various natural scenarios like wild, landscaped gardens with works of art, integrated ecological productions and other native plants. Animals will be gradually integrated into these areas. We need every helping hand to continue to transform this growing paradise.
Please read the part of more details.
Ich habe 2 Hektar in den Bergen neben Bogotá, die in ein künstlerisch-ökologisches Projekt verwandelt werden, um Menschen, die den Berg besuchen wollen, oder für Seminare, workshops oder andere Aktivitäten mieten wollen, zu Inspiration und Veränderung zu verhelfen. Das Projekt soll einen kleinen Beitrag zum Friedensprozess in Kolumbien leisten, indem es Menschen andere Ideen, Kreativität und Energien vermittelt. Der Berg hat ein Plateau mit wundervollen Rundblick über die Täler, auf dem wir ein Glashaus errichtet haben, verschiedene Ökosysteme, zwischen Hochlandpflanzen, Naturwald, Bach und Teichen. Die verschiedenen Ökosysteme sollen in verschiedene Naturszenarien umgewandelt werden, zwischen Wildbewachsung, angelegten Gärten mit Kunstwerken, und integrierten ökologischen Produktionen mit Wildpflanzen wie Andenbeere, und andere einheimische Pflanzen. Dazu sollen nach und nach Tiere integriert werden. Wir brauchen jede helfende Hand, die aus dem bisher herrschenden Anfängen ein Paradies verwandelt.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The help will be done together with local workers, if you there are enough spanish skills to have basic conversations. You will have a fantastic opportunity to learn a lot about the local culture and to practice Spanish with native speakers. If you do not know spanish, it will be quite dificult for you here.
Die Arbeit wird zusammen mit Einheimischen erledigt, wenn genug Spanischkenntnisse bestehen, um grundlegene Gespräche zu meistern . Es kann viel über die einheimische Kultur und Bevölkerung gelernt und Spanisch praktiziert werden. Ohne Spanischkenntnisse ist es schwierig bei uns.Help
The help is versatile. Work options include building garden walls and stairs, creating and maintaining the gardens themselves, the development of small eco projects, minor construction projects and marketing. All of this is to be done with the involvement of local people with whom we want to create a network.
We are searching for interested, active and uncomplicated people, regardless of age, with the desire to really work and exchange creative ideas. Innovative contributions are always welcome.
We also expect responsibility in regards to the socio-cultural rules and safeguards of Colombia, which means that we ask that you follow our guidance on behavior measures. The same to our house habits We appreciate a lot that you observe and integrate yourself.
Die Arbeit ist vielseitig, zwischen Gartenmauer- Treppenkonstruktionen, Anlegen von Gärten und von Kulturen und der Entwicklung von kleinen Ökoprojekten, die Primarmaterialien in weiterverarbeitende Produkte verwandelt, bis hin zur Vermarktung, unter Einbezug von Einheimischen, die wir langsam suchen und in ein Netzwerk integrieren wollen.
Wir brauchen interessierte, aktive und unkomplizierte lustige Menschen, egal welchen Alters, die wirkliche Lust am Arbeiten, an kreativen Ideen und Austausch haben. Innovative Beitráge sind immer herzlich willkommen.
Gleichzeitig erwarten wir Verantwortung mit den sozio-kulturellen Regeln und Sicherheitsvorkehrungen in Kolumbien, das heisst, dass wir darum bitten, unsere Orientierungen zu Verhaltensvorkehrungen zu befolgen. Ebenso unser häuslichen Gewohnheiten, die zu beobachen und zu integrieren sind.Languages spoken
