    Description

    Our ranch is a Sanctuary. It is located in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. 10 min away (transport) from La Punta and the ocean.
    A place made for the community by the community. The goal is to achieve complete self sustainability through different programs such as summer camps for kids, holistic retreats, static dances, perma-culture and bio-construction courses.
    This is where the project is at:
    -i3 available rooms kitchen and one dry toilet and one big garden. There is also the Hobbit Hut, a house with a kitchen, garden area and dry toilet. but It requires some serious maintenance.
    -There is a solar panel that needs to be fixed.
    -I get water from a water pipe into water cointainers. I need help moving those and plugging them into the water system to get it running.
    There are spaces made to capture rain water. They need to be patched up and connected to the water system.
    -There is a lot of gardens for food growing.
    -There is a meditation/ yoga place with a peaceful view that would really improve with some creativity and love.
    -Looooots of camping space.
    -An Inipi will be planted in july.
    -A chicken house waiting for a family to live in it.
    -Since its rainy season , weeds grow a lot, everywhere. Sheep are really good at taking care of that. I need help with the sheep being looked after. That just means being around to make sure there arent any wandering out.
    -We have a beautiful fire circle where we have been holding healing circles and meditations.
    - Im currently writting down the project as an investment pitch to get donations so the project can move closer to our intentions.

    Im looking for people who:
    - feel comfortable with rustic living and are up for a challenge.
    - can sustain themselves. The water service has a cost that can be shared.
    -wants to create and share their love and medicine.
    -understands community living.
    -follow healthy practices.
    -Are non drinkers and non smokers. Im ok with plants if you know how to work with them.
