    Description

    Hi! We are Sabrina, Robert and Florian. Our ages are between 36 and 56.
    We live on a 30-hectar wonderful land 1700 meters high up on the mountains of Sierra Nevada.
    We're into ecobuilding, organic gardening, holistic healing, art and beekeeping. We share our land with 4 horses and a pony.
    We have pure mountain water, solar panels, a big pool, a waterfall, a magical silence full of birds singing, and starry skies at night.
    We don't have dogs and don't want people to bring pets, in order to protect the local wildlife.
    Our communal house areas are free of telefone activity, trying to limit phone use to private areas. Our purpose is to develop a more conscious, respectful and civilized use of the telefone.
    Volunteers should feel comfortable to live without alcohol, drugs and meat products in their diet during the time on our land.
    Please bring your eco soap & shampoo.
    Volunteering with us is best suitable for people who are looking for a holistically healthy experience deep in nature, enjoying the company of eagles, wild boars, ibex, flies, bats...who don’t mind being so isolated and far from towns, who will be happy to share knowledge and some life experiences with us, but who are also at ease with their own company and don’t need to be entertained much.

    What else ...

    The first town with shops is Órgiva, 45 minutes driving on a dirt road. Or it is possible to cross the valley on foot and reach the town of Capileira, it’s a very beautiful 1h30 walk (and 1h30 back).
    This area is called Alpujarra and it is full of very interesting alternative and holistic activities, events, projects, workshops, rituals, retreats...definitely worth it to spend some time around here!!
    Many different excursion possibilities in nature are also available, and Granada is 1h30 driving from our land.
