Help
Hi there,
we are running this retreat farm in the middle of nowhere (the pictures that you see) but we have also recently bought a place in Lisbon that we are turning into a Yoga Studio and Vegan project at the moment.
Therefore we are moving back and forth between those two places a lot.
We are looking for people who can help us maintain the farm, look for the animals, cook and clean there also we are looking for people who want to help and learn about renovations and feel comfortable with powertools, plaster work, electricity etc.
If you feel you could be of help - feel free to reach out (might take a couple of days to reply as we are buried in work :)
Sunny regards,
Jan & Stephan
