    ATTENTION ... WE´RE LOOKING FOR WORKAWAYERS LONG TERM (UP TO 3 MOTHS) ... but anyway tell us what do you need and let´s talk ...

    Hello ...

    I'm Carlos, your host. Permaculturist, Production Engineer and Master in Sustainable Tourism Management. I have been a teacher of Sustainable Communities, advisor to governments and international NGOs. Consultant and Facilitator in Planning and Waste Management, I am dedicated to remembering and sharing.

    We have a great opportunity and responsibility. To re-create a sustainable community way of living.

    For this we have locations in the middle of the mountain, in La Orotava, as well as close to the beach, Punta de Hidalgo.

    As a volunteer you will be in the mountain project and from where the initiative to make a food network for our families and relations is born. And we visit to support the Punta de Hidalgo project a few times a month.

    Willi (RIP), German philosopher and farmer, started more than 20 years ago with Plocher technology (biocatalysis), biodynamics and permaculture, considerably regenerated an ecosystem, until it became a cultivation of fruit trees and organic matter that today we are working to understand and to continue.

    For now, with these two different ecosystems and projects, we seek to develop our "Food Basket" - food chain - in a sustainable and communal way. Celebrating, regenerating the social and ecological ecosystem, interacting with other related projects in Tenerife.

    We are looking for volunteers who want to be more than "on holiday", we want to teach and learn through the exchange, we want to be able to plan some work that requires more time, new constructions, etc.

    We need to adapt spaces with bio-construction, implement and maintain cultivation areas, support in events and programming - in general it is necessary to support the elements of the permacultural system in their daily life: 🐕🐷🐔🐔🐴🐔🐔 to be able to continue with a life project and way of living on the earth: remembering and sharing.

    We are the second generation working on it for and by the third generation TO KEEP THE FIRE OF THE PROJECT 🔥

    ATENCIÓN ... ESTAMOS BUSCANDO WORKAWAYERS A LARGO PLAZO (HASTA 3 MESES) ... pero hablemos ...

    Hola …

    Soy Carlos, tu anfitrión. Permacultor, Ingeniero de Producción y Maestro en Gestión del Turismo Sostenible. He sido profesor de Comunidades Sostenibles, asesor de gobiernos y ONG internacionales. Consultor y Facilitador en Planificación y Manejo de Residuos, me dedico a recordar y compartir.

    Tenemos una gran oportunidad y responsabilidad. Re-crear una manera de vivir comunitaria y sostenible.

    Para ello contamos con sedes en la medianía de la montaña, en la Orotava, así como cerca a la playa, Punta de Hidalgo.

    Como voluntario estarás en el proyecto de montaña y desde donde nace la iniciativa de hacer red de alimentos para nuestras familias y relaciones. Y visitamos para apoyar el proyecto de la Punta de Hidalgo unas veces al mes.

    Willi (qepd), alemán filósofo y agricultor-ganadero, inició hace más de 20 años con la tecnología Plocher (biocatalización), la biodinámica y la permacultura, regeneró considerablemente un ecosistema, hasta convertirlo en un cultivo de frutales y materia orgánica que hoy trabajamos por entender y por continuar.

    Por ahora con estos dos ecosistemas y proyectos diferentes, buscamos desarrollar nuestra “Canasta Alimentaria” -cadena alimentaria- de manera sostenible y comunitaria. Celebrando, regenerando el ecosistema social y ecológico, inter-actuando con otros proyectos afines en Tenerife.

    Buscamos voluntari@s que quieran estar más que en "vacaciones", queremos enseñar y aprender con el intercambio, queremos poder proyectar algunas labores que requieren más tiempo, nuevas construcciones, etc.

    Necesitamos adecuar espacios con bioconstrucción, implementar y mantener zonas de cultivo, apoyo en los eventos y programaciones - En general es necesario el apoyo a los elementos del sistema permacultural en su cotidiano 🐕🐷🐔🐔🐴🐔🐔 , para poder continuar con un proyecto de vida y forma de vivir en la tierra: recordando y compartiendo.

    Somos la segunda generación trabajando en ello para y por la tercera generación COMO CUIDADORES DEL FUEGO 🔥

    Volunteers will gain first hand information and knowledge of applying the principles of Permaculture and Organic Agriculture designed and used to the farm and the other project.

    Knowing and learning how to achieve a neutral and in some cases positive ecological footprint for these times, becomes an extreme sport of coherence -

    Every day we learn more and by doing it slowly and steadily we are sure to make a positive impact on our volunteers and their relationships. Bioconstruction - Permaculture - BienVivir and much more ...
