Beschreibung
Samantabhadra is a 50 acre property divided in two areas: public and private. The public area features a Tibetan Buddhist Stupa 39feet high surrounded by the local flora and a small wild garden. It is open all year for visitors. There is also a small meditation hall with simple activities during late spring, summer and early autumn. The private area is the house, next to a beautiful creek.
Basic maintenance of the property (watering garden, chopping wood, clearing areas, building shades, etc) is needed. We are open for 2 people to stay. Epuyen is a small rural community in the Andean mountain range. This is a unique opportunity to be in touch with nature and to experience ordinary life in Patagonia with its beauty and challenges. -

We need overall help in the 50 acre property. There are two areas, one that has access to visitors all year long and the area of the house next to the creek. Tasks are divided into the two areas: visitors area will involve gardening, preparing meditation hall, repairing and checking steps on trail, parking lot, etc. around the house there is cleaning, gardening, wood chopping depending on the time of year. Also help as extra hands either for my husband in all kind of tasks that arise or me around the house.

Most of the time we spent alone at the property, while Ale and Metra went to Mexico, which was clearly communicated to us before the Workaway started.
We had one of the best stays during our travels at this beautiful place ! Ale and Metra gave us immediately the feeling of being at home, which we very much felt like.

Tim is a joy to have in the house. Every moment is a burst of fun and laughter. Always ready to do whatever, never complained about early morning work. Ate anything and enjoyed it. We had the opportunity to talk about life in Paris, movies, being young, cultures, moving on and many deep subjects with ease and great exchange.

I was always sceptic with the all positive reviews in workaways, and here I am leaving one of the same. But what bad can you say when everything went as you wished and beyond? First, the work : you help Metra to logically expend, repair or take care of the place for the visitors or the events, and like it’s been said, it’s nothing very

Ale, Metra and their lovely friends Ninchia (maybe wrong spelled haha), sonda and Mora i have already missed you. And your chipotle Ale.
Working with them was extremely enjoable. Si sabes lentejas rojas, Ale los tiene en su casa. Algunas personas me entienden lo que quiero decir. Un abrazo, nos vemos.
