  Beschreibung

  Hello and a warm welcome to our volunteer program! I'm Ana Maria and it brings me great joy to make this connection with you. Our staff includes individuals specialized in various tasks, with one person assigned to cleaning or housekeeping, and another dedicated to maintenance and garden upkeep. Our haven is purposefully designed for a life in constant communion with nature, embracing simplicity and the essential elements, all shared with like-minded individuals who resonate with our vision. Nestled amidst the mountains between Choachí and La Calera, we are located two hours from Bogota, enjoying a moderate climate year-round at an elevation of 2040 meters above sea level. We have one person for housekeeping and another person for maintenance and garden.
  
  We host retreats and gatherings where we invite you to experience a few days of reconnection and profound relaxation. Our curated activities include yoga and meditation sessions, crystal workshops, ceramic crafting, gardening and planting, river baths, and hiking.
  
  Our home is a dynamic space, continuously evolving, and we are currently seeking assistance with maintenance tasks. We also welcome support in assisting with the construction of simple and innovative wooden spaces, fieldwork for planting and nurturing the flora that surrounds us, and collaboration with our guests during art and wellness workshops.
  
  While we don't have resident animals, our space is reserved for a diverse array of birds and forest-dwelling creatures.
  
  We are in search of individuals who are not only sensitive and creative but also enjoy physical activity and rural household tasks. Your willingness to share insights about the region and our culture is highly valued.
  
  We are conveniently located just half an hour from the nearest town, providing opportunities for visits, shopping, and stocking up. Bogota is accessible within a 2-hour journey by public transportation. In our vicinity, you'll find the Chingaza and Matarredondo Natural Parks, the Cruz Verde Páramo (entrance requires permits), captivating waterfalls, scenic trails, and flowing rivers.
  
  Warm regards,
  Ana Maria
  
  **Please be mindful that smoking weed is not allowed, as we are committed to maintaining a certain reputation for the benefit of our community activities.
