Descrição
UPDATE:
Hello, I'm David Nathan, a ‘self-employed’ adventurer seeking out a new life by visiting intentional communities to learn about spiritual sustainable co-living practices; and by experiencing this way of life to see if it resonates with my own values. Originally from England, I've been a bit of a nomad most this life, although I'd like to live in a small cottage, tiny house or aboard a boat 😉or in a vegan sustainable community with shared values; for the last seven years since quitting ‘normal’ working life, I have become a self-employed adventurer living in a simpler way, as a minimalist; and not only from the environmental point of view but also from a personal/spiritual standpoint. So I have been traveling around to learn about alternative ways for sustainable living, permaculture, eco projects, animal rescue and intentional communities to make a re-connection with nature and myself!

I am currently looking to experience a different way in which to immerse myself in healing practices that are outside my comfort zone, so that I can dive deeply into self inquiry and to support others on a similar path!

I was a workaway volunteer for about 8 years up until 2021, then took a break until this year. Currently I am volunteering in Sweden 🇸🇪 until May 22nd when I should return to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 however I want to be more spontaneous and might just discover another amazing place to visit…😌🙏❤️

Quais são suas habilidades?
I have plenty of experience gardening in general, pruning, mowing, hedge trimming etc, picking fruit and have driven tractors. I'm pretty useful with a hammer, an axe or hand saw; have repointed stonework/brickwork using natural mortar/ building techniques, but also like dry stone wall building! I love working with wood but want to learn more....I like eco-friendly and permaculture projects, off-grid self-sustainable living!
I love all animals and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, hens, sheep, goats, donkeys, horses, pigs and a cute ferret!
Idade
62
Algo mais...
Having lived for times in community where much is a shared space, I am a very good organizer/cleaner…I love to travel and hike/walk and read interesting and spiritual books and have moved around a lot in my life. I learnt to practice meditation at Findhorn community in Scotland and have since learnt new techniques at a Buddhist centre, and want to renew this energy. In recent years...in october 2010, I spent 2 weeks in Kenya teaching english at a school in the Masai Mara. Since 2013, I've volunteered through Workaway in UK, Spain, Poland, Italy, Portugal & Germany.

In 2014, I participated with the Findhorn Foundation Eco-community:
Experience Week
Exploring Community Life
Iona Summer Retreat

In 2016 I walked from Switzerland to Spain on the St James Way (Camino de Santiago-French Way) and have walked other ways since, (Camino Finisterre, Camino Ingles, Camino Primitivo, Via de la Plata, Camino Mozarabe, and in 2023 Caminos Aragones and del Norte)

In 2017, I spent 3 months volunteering for an aid organization helping refugees in Greece.

I love music, especially folky melodic and ancient sounds... ☺️Looking forward to meet and interact with the wider Workaway community! Buen Camino, blessings! 😌🙏
I have a passion for sharing circles as a way to healing, meditation practice and learning to be more present…🤗😌😍

It was a great pleasure to host David.
He helped me look after my horse, care for the dog, keep the car, house and garden tidy.
He worked meticulously and I always knew I could leave everything in safe hands.
My neighbours and liveries here on the farm enjoyed talking to him and he was just lovely to have around: kind, caring, honest, tactful,… read more
