  Description

  Carpenters, photographers and social media workers needed for November, December or first week of January!
  
  
  Hi! My name is Maria, I have been traveling for the past 10 years, around southamerica, central America, California, Canada Australia & few counties in asia, specially in love with Thailand and India.
  I volunteer many times in organic farms, sustainable projects including permaculture and bio construction. I am interested in mindfulness, yoga, taoism, massage therapy, kirtan, contact improvisation dance and any sort of body work and somatics, exchanging knowledge would be part of the volunteer task, I love music and arts.
  
  I am currently in Chile where I have the vision & dream to start building up slowly a holistic centre, but at the moment I only have the house so I need some help to start building a garden & a space to practice bodywork ( yoga/qi gong/ chi nei tsang or Thai massage. I can always use help from garndeners and creative people. as I dont have a lot of resources to invest, being creative recycle is a good skills to share. I am also in need of someone that can help me to fix a camper van that has been abandoned for some time and could be use for wecoming workawayers,
  
  I am looking for volunteers that can help with carpentry, natural construction or knowledge about agroforestry, gardening and planting trees, if you know how to preare bocashi we could usea that aswell...
  
  Also someone with skills and equipment to take photography/ or dron shots, or if you are good with social media or web design it is also some skills we could use to create content to promote massage therapy. "Digital nomads" are welcome here.
  
  If you feel you have a community oriented vission & you feel a call to come and help I would be happy to meet You here.
  
  Location: San Fabian, this place has not been massively exploited for tourism and is part of the Nevados de Chillán Biological Corridor biosphere reserve.
  
  I have a small cabin just beside the Ñuble river, beautiful mountains surround us. There is a local market happening every week. We could plan to go for some hikingq on the Andes mountains. Rafting/kayakinga is also an attraction in this town.
  Eco- tourism is just starting a couple years back, so expect to be around mostly local people & only a few tavelers.
  
  How to get here: From Santiago Bus Station, buy a bus ticket to San Carlos, it takes about 4.5 hours to get there.
  Tell the helper of the bus or driver to drop you off at Copec gas station. From there you can take a bus to San Fabian, or I could possibly pick you up from there. If you don't feel confident in Spanish, make sure you have mobile data in your phone and give me a call when you get into the bus, and I can help out.
  
  The bus from San Carlos may take up to one hour to arrive in San Fabian, there is one direct bus coming from Santiago (jet sur)
  
  I am located in the area called "la balsa", the nearest markets and restaurants are 2km away, 20 mins walk.
  I am looking forward to meet you :)

  Help

  I need someone who has skills with photography and dron shooting, and social media expert for helping me with my Instagram account that I use to pays ads for massage therapy
  
  I am also interested about bodywork, such a qi gong, yoga, massage and contact dance improv, so if you like this area would be great aswell.
  
  I have the vision to start building slowly a community in the future, but at the moment I only have the house so I need some help to start building a garden & a space to practice bodywork( yoga/qi gong/ chi nei tsang or Thai massage.
  
  I am looking for volunteer that can help with carpentry, natural construction or knowledge about agroforestry, gardening and planting trees, working with bocashi is also a plus.
  
  I have the idea to create a glamping and yoga shala in the property.
  
  Also, someone with skills and equipment to take photography or drone shots for creating a website, publicity materials, Canva designs, and a short video would be very helpful. I need this content to run paid ads for my work as a massage therapist. If you are also good at social media, we could collaborate on that as well — including helping to promote a property I’m trying to sell. This is the best helo I can get at the moment
  
  If you feel you have similar interests, community oriented vission & you feel a call to come and help I would totally appreciate it.
