Description
Namaste!
Are you a musician, nature lover, artist, painter, carpenter, photographer, videomaker, creative DIYer?
We are looking for talented people that want to share their experience with us and leave a positive footprint in our non-profit Association and Holistic Farm Project.
If you’re interested in permaculture, natural farming, holistic life, vegetarian cooking, sustainability, and you are willing to support a Regenerative Project...this is the right place for you!
It's Silvia and Toti! We are italian and we spent part of our life abroad.
In 2020 we moved back to Italy and bought our dream place in south Abruzzo. We live in a 20.000m2 farm plenty of olive trees and surrounded by oaks and forest.
In the past we lived in England, in Costa Rica and Canary Islands. We travelled a lot in India, in Central America and Italy.
In the last years we dedicated our life to offer Yoga Retreats, Workshops and Experiences about self-sufficiency, organic farming and "PURE LOVE as a way of living".
You will be part of our small family and depending on your skills and our needs we will agree about the collaboration conditions.
We produce our own olive oil, so depending on the season, you may also have the opportunity to learn more about olive cultivation. We have a permaculture garden where we are growing vegetables, fruits, and herbs. We started a "food forest" project with more than 100 fruit trees planted on "swales" to help the creation of an ecosystem for plants and animals.
We make our own compost and like to recycle as much as possible with an aim to reduce waste and be self-sufficient. We use only eco-friendly soaps as we use a Phytodepuration System. We have electricity from our solar panels.
We are especially interested in JOYFUL people who can bring their own permaculture knowledge, creative ideas, or have construction skills as we are building small cabins, gazebo, etc.
We normally share 2 healthy and delicious daily meals (depending on the season, we change our meal schedule).
Lodging is in tent surrounded by nature and common bathroom. Campervans and vans are welcome!
Like in a little community everyone will be active part of the group to make things work, and the daily life enjoyable for everyone!
