Description
We are Micòl (50), Arturo (17), Cosimo (14)and Amir (7).
Arturo and Cosimo are most of the time on their own. Cosimo appreciate manual creative work so sometimes he wants to learn form adults new skills . Arturo is looking in an apprenticeship tattoing so maybe you can be his Guinea pig!!!
We live in a small and simple house in the hill on Cassibile, 10km from siracusa, near the "Riserva Naturale di Cavagrande del Cassibile" and near the beach of Fontane Bianche.
We are an unschooling family. I like the idea of anyone expressing their needs and finding the way to stay together in a win/win strategy. I don't like labels. I don't like MUST. I experienced in the years that for may persons is difficult to behave without expecting 'obedience' from the children and teenagers so I want to express here the clarity of my need of respect of our way of bearing relationships.
If you are connected with NVC you are very very welcomed.
Details of the works we would like to do are below.
We have water only from the rain so we ask to our hosts to be very careful in using it.
That's why I ask you to use a compost toilet and an external shower where the water is recycled.
We want to host people:
-who understand that we are sharing the house so we clean common spaces together or with turns
- who tries to respect and use carefully food, water, electricity by not wasting them
Italian speakers are very much welcomed from my kids!!!
We don't smoke and prefer to host no smokers.
Bring your musical instrument if you play....we need you so much!!!
We live with 2 dogs and a cat at the moment
