  Description

  Welcome to a small, queer women-owned beachfront wellness retreat on the wild Oaxaca Coast Mexico. Hi, Im Kameko a yogi, surfer, ayurvedic practioner and founder of this project. We are looking to motivated and health minded folks to help us on carpentry projects, admin tasks, gardening and general maintenance.
  
  This place sits on a private stretch of beach along the Oaxacan Coast, about a 30-minute drive south of Puerto Escondido. We're within walking distance of the next small town, with intermediate surf breaks right out front, a turtle sanctuary nearby, and whales passing offshore. We offer yoga classes which volunteers can take throughout the week. It's a quiet, low-key place, and we're looking for good, reliable help to keep building it out.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  In exchange for your help, you'll have a beautiful place to call home — beach access, ocean views, and a quiet stretch of the Oaxaca coast to enjoy on your time off. You're welcome to join yoga classes when it fits your schedule.
  This is not a party spot — we don't drink or do drugs here, and we're looking for calm, reliable people who feel at home with that. Ideally, you're a surfer with real skills in carpentry, building, or computer admin. Surfers, spanish speakers, queers and yogis/fitness folks to the front!

  Help

  You'll be part of our small team while you're here — we share meals, and I check in regularly so the work stays aligned with what you're good at. For garden and admin help, I'm glad to share what I know about permaculture and how the property runs day to day. For woodwork and building, I'm looking for you to bring that expertise and lead the work yourself. In return, I like learning from whoever comes through — different skills, different ways of seeing things.
  
  We're especially hoping to find a surfer with real carpentry or building skills, but we're open to good, reliable volunteers in any of these three areas:
  
  Garden & Permaculture — general upkeep and landscaping of the grounds and gardens across the property.
  
  Building & Woodwork — building storage shelving, cabinets, and freestanding closets with doors throughout the property, plus one or two office desks. We need someone who already has real carpentry or woodworking experience and can lead this work independently — not a beginner-friendly project.
  
  Computer help & Admin — replying to Instagram inquiries about our various offerings, general computer-based problem-solving, and admin support like organizing outreach lists, updating spreadsheets and trackers, and basic content scheduling.
  
  Couples who both bring skills to offer and small families (1 -2 children) will be considered if they can all share a room.
