  Join Us in Creating a Regenerative & Spiritual Retreat in Sardinia 🌿
  Hello beautiful souls,
  We are in the early stages of creating a regenerative land-based project rooted in nature, spirituality, community, and slow living, located in the countryside of Dolianova, South Sardinia, surrounded by olive trees, Mediterranean landscapes and silence.
  Our long-term vision is to create a spiritual and nature-based retreat space, where people can reconnect with themselves, the land and each other.
  The project will include:
  🌱 a glamping area immersed in nature
  🔥 a home restaurant focus on fire experience, with farm-to-table, local and seasonal food from local Sheppards
  🧘 spaces for spiritual retreats, yoga, meditation and inner work
  🌿 regenerative agriculture, gardens, herbs, bees and animals
  🌊 natural water systems, ponds and ecological infrastructures
  🤍 a community-oriented environment based on respect, presence and collaboration
  At the moment, we are looking for open-hearted, conscious and hands-on people who feel called to help build this vision from the ground up.
  ✨ What we are looking for
  We welcome people who resonate with one or more of the following:
  natural building / eco-building
  gardening, permaculture, farming
  cooking and food preparation
  helping with glamping structures and common areas
  artistic, creative or manual skills
  experience in yoga, meditation, bodywork or spiritual practices (optional but welcome)
  people who enjoy simple living, collaboration and shared intention
  No perfection is required — presence, responsibility and willingness to contribute are what matter most.
  
  We’ve been a little quiet lately, as life on the land naturally moves in cycles.
  Now, as we prepare for a new season, we’re opening our space again to conscious, hands-on volunteers who feel called to live, build and share in nature.
  
  🌱 The Project
  We are a small family based land project in the heart of Sardinia, near the village of Dolianova, surrounded by olive trees, hills and deep silence.
  This is not a finished eco village.
  It is a living, evolving place, built slowly with natural materials, recycled elements and practical creativity.
  Our focus is on:
  natural building (cob, earth, wood)
  upcycling and reusing materials
  simple, grounded living
  food, fire and shared time
  regenerating land and skills together
  
  🔨 What we are working on (seasonal focus)
  Depending on the season, activities may include:
  natural construction (cob walls, wood structures, pallet reuse)
  finishing outdoor bathrooms and shared spaces
  olive grove care (pruning, grafting, cleaning)
  firewood preparation
  compost and grey water systems
  garden preparation and food forest planting
  creating paths, seating areas and common spaces
  Work is physical, practical and meaningful.
  We value presence, care and learning, not speed.
  
  👨‍👦‍👦 Who we are
  We are Francesco, Eros (8) and Isaac (4).
  Francesco is a private chef, farmer and passionate natural builder, deeply interested in:
  earth construction
  recycling and upcycling materials
  low impact, hands on solutions
  The children grow up close to nature and daily life on the land, so we welcome volunteers who are patient, kind and respectful of children, and comfortable sharing space with a family rhythm.
  
  🛖 Accommodation
  Tents with real mattresses and plenty of blankets
  Small Campervans are very welcome, especially in winter
  Outdoor compost toilets and simple showers
  Hot water available, but water and energy are precious resources
  This is off-grid living, simple and honest — not luxury glamping (yet).
  
  🍲 Food
  Food is an important part of life here.
  Francesco loves cooking simple, nourishing meals, mostly vegetarian and seasonal:
  our own olive oil
  vegetables from the garden or from local market
  bread from the wood oven when is possibile
  Meals are often shared and part of the experience.
  
  💧 Water & Waste
  Drinking water from a natural spring
  Well water for washing
  Compost toilets
  Grey water system connected to soil regeneration
  Living here means taking responsibility for resources and being mindful of impact.
  
  🧭 Who we are looking for
  We welcome people who:
  enjoy physical, hands-on work
  are curious about natural building and land-based living
  appreciate recycling and creative problem-solving
  communicate clearly and respect shared spaces
  are comfortable around children
  Extra skills always appreciated:
  natural building / carpentry
  gardening / permaculture
  cooking with care
  web or visual communication
  
  🌞 Life beyond work
  On days off we explore:
  wild beaches
  caves and ancient nuraghe sites
  natural pools and waterfalls
  the deep, quiet beauty of Sardinia
  
  If this resonates, write to us and tell us why you feel called to this experience.
  We’re happy to answer questions and connect.
  
  Teamwork makes the dream work.
  Let’s build something real, together.🌠
