Description
** Looking for spiritual and handy people :) **
Here you can get in touch with the following disciplines: ayurvedic nutrition, biomagnetism, Bach flowers and kinesiology.
I am Alberto a naturopath, expert in ayurvedic nutrition, educator and wannabe permaculturist in Cuba. I live in Abruzzo, Italy where I have a 300 square meter garden with some small permaculture beds and during the winter I live in Cuba where I manage different activities related to ayurveda, permaculture and education collaborating with various community projects.
My place in Val di Sangro is not in the middle of the countryside, it's more a place of natural and holistic practices that borders a commercial and industrial area.
I often go to explore the surrounding natural places (Abruzzo is full of beautiful parks), but if you want to be immersed in nature on a farm, this is not exactly the place for you.
Sometimes I visit other ecovillage friends in Abruzzo / Lazio or go to Rome where we have other artistic activities going on and also during the summer I work in Scandinavia as tour leader, so when I'm away I'm available to house-sit my apartment.
During *house sitting* you will work maximum (only) 15 hours per week but you have to be responsible for your own food expenses, otherwise as usual you will work 5 hours per day / 5 days per week in exchange for food and accommodation.
Right now I prefer to host handy people with good manual skills who are already good at cooking and want to learn how to cook following Ayurveda principles, with natural and healthy ingredients (also wild plants).
I am looking for someone independent, strong, not picky, interested in simple life, yoga, arts, who want to work with natural products making, carpentry, construction... creating, repairing, recycling and reusing anything ;)
In particular I need to improve my summer garden, the maintenance of the property and also my web presence which is quite poor.

Aquí puedes entrar en contacto con las siguientes disciplinas: nutrición ayurvédica, biomagnetismo, flores de Bach y kinesiología.
Soy Alberto un naturópata experto en nutrición ayurvédica, educador y wannabe permacultor en Cuba. Vivo en Abruzzo donde tengo un jardín de 300 metros cuadrados con algunos pequeños lechos de permacultura y durante el invierno vivo en Cuba donde gestiono diferentes actividades relacionadas con el ayurveda, la permacultura y la educación colaborando con varios proyectos comunitarios.
Mi lugar en Val di Sangro no está en medio del campo, es más bien un puesto de prácticas naturales y holísticas que limita con una zona comercial e industrial.
Suelo ir a explorar los lugares naturales de los alrededores (los Abruzos están llenos de hermosos parques), pero si lo que quieres es estar inmerso en la naturaleza en una granja, éste no es exactamente el lugar para ti.
A veces visito a otros amigos de ecoaldeas en Abruzzo / Lazio o voy a Roma donde tenemos otras actividades artísticas en marcha y también durante el verano trabajo en Escandinavia como tour leader, así que cuando estoy de viaje tengo disponibilidad para dejar mi apartamento en house-sitting.
Durante el *house sitting* trabajarás un máximo de (sólo) 15 horas a la semana, pero tendrás que hacerte cargo de tus propios gastos de comida, si no como siempre trabajarás 5 horas por día / 5 días por semana en cambio de alojamiento y comida.
En este momento prefiero acoger a personas con buenas abilidades manuales (manitas), que sean buenos cocineros y que quieran aprender a cocinar siguiendo los principios del Ayurveda, con ingredientes naturales y saludables (también plantas silvestres).
Busco a alguien independiente, fuerte, no quisquilloso, interesado en la vida sencilla, el yoga, las artes, que quiera realizar productos naturales, trabajar con carpintería, construcción... creando, reparando, reciclando y reutilizando cualquier cosa ;)
En particular necesito mejorar mi huerto de verano, el mantenimiento de la propiedad y también mi presencia en la web que es bastante pobre.
