Description
Our vision is to create a better world, by empowering people to fulfill their greatest potential.
If your life is dedicated to personal growth and making a difference... read on...
We were born and grew up in Israel, lived for 20 years in the Netherlands, and 5 years ago we relocated to our dream house on the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands). We are together for 26 years and still going strong... We have a 22-year-old daughter who is living and working in London.
Vered (60) worked as an archeologist, manager in health and high-tech organizations, developed museums for kids and for more than 28 years was a personal-development trainer and a bestselling author. These days she dedicates herself to writing movie scripts, studying body and brain longevity and transforming our home in Tenerife into a Garden of Eden.
Yehonathan (52) is a serial entrepreneur, who founded and grew 10 different companies - starting his first software company at the age of 18. For 20 years he ran a successful training company where he trained together with Vered more than 150,000 conscious entrepreneurs in business and personal growth and published 6 bestselling books. These days he dedicates himself to developing health and longevity mobile app, walking his spiritual path and transforming our property into a botanical garden of edible and medicinal plants.
We both speak fluent English and Hebrew, mediocre Dutch and started learning Spanish.
When we're not hiking the world, we spend our time at home - gardening, meditating, hiking, dancing, reading, watching movies, cooking and eating healthy food.
Vered is into yoga and making medicinal ointments and remedies (from our own herbs), while Yehonathan is more into long-distance running, trail running and rock climbing.
Our vision for our property is to create a Garden of Eden - an organic, biological, botanical garden of edible and medicinal plants - at the first stage to allow us (and our team of volunteers) to live sustainably - growing 80% of our fruits, vegetables, protein (fish & eggs), berries, nuts and honey on the property.
But our biggest dream is to inspire millions of people around the world to live life fully through our short documentaries and our social media content.
We're focusing on the five H.E.A.R.T. principles:
1. HEALTH - we're looking for volunteers that are health conscious... so if you're a SMOKER... please do NOT apply!
2. ENVIRONMENT - we're living off the grid, trying to recycle everything, and grow (as much of) our own food... if this is NOT your thing... please do NOT apply.
3. ADVENTURE - we believe that stepping out of our comfort zone is key to live fully... we're going to challenge you to think and act against your routines and comfort zone... if this doesn't get you EXCITED... please do NOT apply!
4. RELATIONSHIPS - we're looking for volunteers that can and like to take RESPONSIBILITY and own their projects. We would love to clarify our vision and agree together on the outcome, and then leave it up to you to make it happen. If you need/want to be micromanaged... please do NOT apply!
5. TRANSFORMATION - we believe that our highest purpose in life is to grow, evolve, and fulfil our greatest potential. If you're just looking for a sunny place to escape the cold winter... please do NOT apply!
We're looking for HAPPY people with a positive outlook on life. People that are looking to make a positive contribution in the world. People that are looking to learn as much as to teach. People that get along easily with others, but don't need constant attention...
What Tenerife has to offer:
======================
Tenerife is called the island of eternal spring because of its perfect weather all year round.
It is a paradise island for hikers, cyclers, trail runners, rock climbers as well as wind and kite surfers.
The island has several different climate areas from deserts to volcanos to stunning black beaches to rainforests...
