  Persons who smoke.... try to smoke as less as possible, please.
  Smoking (during the morning and daytime ) drains all good Energies and Spirits away.
  IT makes the team slow
  
  Take always extra care for fire.
  
  The dry bushes and fields around in nature together with the famous Levante wind does not forgive .
  
  About mobile phones, smart phones, computers and more electronics ...
  invasive machines with microchips we know they came to exist from somewhere not so long ago and have a lot of practical advantages .....but not always.
  We strongly wish electronic devices with G4 G5 satellite/ cell tower radiation stay out and are kept in Workawayer's private room. Please make chat whatsapp and callings in the sheltered entrance patio and WIFI computer connection sessions in the workshop/atelier. It is utterly difficult to harmonize with persons who move around during the daily tasks with ear devices continuous inverted communicating with the somewhere online ....
  It is all about keeping natural serenity and be-in-contact in the present with other members and one-self.
  
  
  Thank You !
