    Description

    News: We’ve just finished setting up our workshop and a material storage – the very first big step!
    Next up: Building a hydroponic system, creating an outdoor kitchen, producing and smoking vegan sausages, and much more (see further plans below in the Help section).

    We want to bring our vision of a nature-connected, community-centered lifestyle to life on the beautiful biosphere island of La Palma. For this purpose, we’ve purchased 4 hectares of land and are currently establishing a foundation. Now begins the exciting phase where our dream becomes reality – and this is exactly where we need your active support in the coming months.

    🤝 Who We’re Looking For

    We’re looking for volunteers willing to join us and help out for at least four weeks. Since it takes time to share knowledge and build a strong team, we especially welcome hands-on, multi-skilled helpers who can assist with construction as well as project organization.

    We provide land and accommodation – you bring a good mood and your own food – and we’re ready to get started!
