Description
UPDATE: WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR LONG-TERM (>1 month) VOLUNTEERS (apart from volunteering at Sagrada Familia) FOR OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER (JANUARY) JUST TO DO HOUSE AND PUPPY SITTING!
==========
We are just about to start an officially registered NGO, focusing on permaculture and self-sustained eco-living. Other long-term goals are reforestation, protection of the jungle, and the development of nearby indigenous communities.
The 42-hectare land full of lush jungle, food produce, clear rivers, majestic wildlife, and beautiful cascades offers much to explore and provides us with fruits & veggies to harvest.
As the land is big, we take care of two different areas:
- "COCINA CARACOL": The creation of this space in the middle of the jungle started in April 2024, so it still demands a lot of work in developing the living and permaculture area. We, Julia and Sau, are your hosts here. For us, a conscious way of living is important and respected. So we try to practice yoga regularly, make fire circles, music, and occasionally cacao ceremonies. We have a vegetarian diet, with options for vegans.
- "SAGRADA FAMILIA": This area is at the entrance of the jungle and is advanced in installations and buildings. Here your host is a warm-hearted and funny Mexican family taking care of the farm and big food production for self-sufficiency. This space offers an omnivore diet, but is open to veggie options.
Although some volunteers live in one area and others in the other, we still try to do activities together.
Come and leave your footprint developing that amazing NGO project and community with us!Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
