Description
We are Andra (41), Diane (74), Amani (11), Martin (7) and our lovely pets Coco (dog), Negrito (cat), Luna (sheep) and 5 chickens (only y daugther know the name of all of them :) )
I (Andra) am a doula and non-violent communication trainer. I offer NVC workshops and empathy groups online and in my house and when I don't do that, I love taking care of my garden, go into nature, do slackline and highline.
A few days a week I work for Diane , who was born in the US but has lived in other parts of the world and for the last 30 years now she's been Chile. She is a medicine woman and an amazing human being, friend and boss.
We run a greenhouse and a lombricultura project (we grow Californian earth-worms and produce humus). Besides humus, we offer aloe vera plants and all kinds of plant medicine that Diane herself makes.
We all live and work in the same place, just in different houses. We have plenty of beautiful projects that we want to create, but only a few hands to take care of everything.
The place we live in is absolute paradise (at least for me). I have a little cabin in the middle of a forest and Diane's house is surrounded by marvellous plants and trees that she takes care of. We are very close to the Villarrica National Park and many other natural reservations. The whole area where we live is amazing and I can show you around and take you to all my secret and magical spots!
The kids enjoy having guests and new people around, we have been using couchsurfing and workway since they were born.
Half of the time during the week I am not with them because they stay with their father, close by.
You will be sleeping in a tent (if you don't have one, we can provide) and you'll be in charge of your own cooking or in function of the time you'll spend here, we can work out an arrangement that fits us all!
We would prefer you stay as much as possible, a minimum of 3 weeks. However, we will appreciate any help anyway, even if it's for a shorter period of time.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! I can send you extra videos and photos of our place and surrounding area.

Help
The help we need is with the chores around the house (cleaning, gardening, feeding the pets but mostly work in the greenhouse so that me and Diane can focus on the other projects). The work is very easy and enjoyable.
