    Description

    First of All a few facts about me and my Family:
    I am a psychologist and I live in a dome in a field of 15 hectares with my son Tomás.

    Any is a teacher of special education and we have a daughter Amanda of 7 years and a son Tomás of 19 years old, both autistic but very funcional.
    Any lives with a Amanda direct in Lebu to take care of her mother but they visit the farm some days in the week or I visit them in the citiy.

    To my project right now:
    Im building a nice hostel with a restaurant and a pool-terrace with a bar.
    I also have a dome to do workshops and for events concerning the care of your mental health.

    In general my project:
    We are developing accommodations in treehouses with composting toilets, mountain biking and improving the access to our waterfall. Tourists will be able to learn and eat the native forest fruits such as maqui, copihue (also the national flower of Chile), Chilean hazelnut and murtilla. Inside the farm tourists and visitors can see the permaculture garden, feed the chickens and ducks or ride the horses to complete their experience.

    My idea is to build a place for people to come down, escape reality for a bid and learn about theirselfs. In common language you could say detox-vacation.
    Summarised I have my psychologist office and ecologist farm (with animals, a vegetable patch, path of native vegetation, a nice wetland and a beautifull fall path).
    Our farm has chickens, cats, dog and horses.


    We need motivated people to build a better and more supportive world. We can receive 4 volunteers at the same time, in treehouses.
    We also have good Wi-Fi.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We have a truck for the farm that is available for the volunteers to use if they need . We offer traditional meals such as humitas, legumes and the freshest ceviche specialty in the world.


    I have the idea of Psicotourism which means to focuse on mental health, individual, grupal and communitarian in a context of ecology and permaculture.

    Moreover my farm is located in a rural area 15 minutes from Lebu, a very interesting city, with beautiful beaches, a very entertaining hill, and captivating landscapes. Here you can surf with the best people, with unique characters and stories.

    It is important that you know that I will share the work with my attention as a therapist and psychologist who follows the Gestalt humanist movement.
    We give volunteers a bicycle tour to the waterfall (small waterfall) and a tour to a very beautiful nearby beach, we also offer a traditional dinner.

    HOW TO ARRIVE here - RUTA 160
    Any bus that comes from Lebu will leave you at the farm entrance when you are coming to the stops of "El Rosal ", 5km after Santa Rosa. If we are coming to Lebu we will coordinate to collect you.

    If you are coming from Santiago or Concepcion our stop is before Lebu, 4.3km after Pehuen. A bus from Santiago's main bus terminal leaving around 10pm will arrive in Lebu around 7am.

    We will be responsible for the enjoyment of your stay, and like to gather each evening to talk about the day and evaluate our experiences, make music together, cook or watch movies. Its important for me that the volunteers feel integrated!
