It's not just about the work; it's about the connection, the peace, and the spiritual fulfillment you'll find in serving those who need it most.

• Art Forest: Imagine an immersive art forest where your sculptures, installations, and land art can reside among the trees, creating a contemplative space for visitors to reflect on the connection between humans, animals, and the environment.

• Animal Care and Gardening: We seek help in caring for our handicapped animals and in our garden. Whether you have a green thumb or experience in animal care, your contribution will be invaluable.
• Fencing Projects: To safeguard our current and future residents, we're planning to install additional fencing around the property. This will help us create secure areas for chickens, goats, sheep, and other animals we aim to rescue.
• Renovation Work: A small building on our premises requires renovation to transform it into a cozy, safe haven for more cats. We're looking for volunteers with building and renovation skills to assist in this project.
• Infrastructure Development: To accommodate rescued chickens, goats, sheep, and other animals, we need to establish a sturdy and functional infrastructure. This includes shelters, feeding stations, and comfortable living spaces.

What we offer:
• A Monthly Vegan Food Budget: We understand the importance of nourishing food while volunteering. That's why we provide a monthly vegan food budget of €250 to our volunteers, ensuring you have delicious and ethical meals during your stay.
• Artists passionate about animal rights, veganism, and environmental issues.
• Creatives skilled in mural painting, sculpture, installation art, or any form of visual art that can convey powerful messages.
• Individuals inspired by nature and the stories of our animal residents, eager to translate these into impactful artworks.
Be Part of Something Bigger: This is an invitation to be part of a sanctuary where your art contributes to a larger narrative of compassion, healing, and awareness. Your work here will not only enhance the sanctuary's environment but also engage visitors, inspiring them to think deeply about their relationship with all living beings.
