Help
Depending on your interests and skills, on the one hand, and on the current needs of my projects, on the other, we will find the specific combination of task that best suits our needs. These are some potential tasks in which you might participate:
CRAFTING. Folding and cutting papers, gluing, painting, sewing, washing,... Relaxing tasks which you can do while listening to music and/or podcasts. Let me know if you have some experience in this.
CREATING and COMMUNICATING. If you are painter, a graphic designer, an illustrator, a videographer, a social media expert, a photographer and/or a web designer and would like to help me in some of these fields, we might find a good way to use your creative skills and communicative passions.
CULTIVATING. I'm cultivating some raised gardening beds and developing a permacultural forest. Sometimes there's the need to cut down some pine trees and plant some other species, move some soil, dig, water, build, repair...
COOKING. When I host a group of workawayers I appreciate to have a good vegetarian cooker to prepare delicious and healthy meals for all.
CARING for my house and/or cottage: painting, cleaning, decorating... -

Accommodation
There's two possible accommodation spots:
A. THE FOREST. In the last 10 years I've been slowly but steadily developing a humanized forest. Stunning views, beautiful paths, some huts, compost toilets, meeting places, raised garden beds, a big bell tent, some fruit trees, an old stone cottage… a work-in-progress piece of paradise. It's a gathering spot and, occasionally, a small retreat center. With running water, battery lamps, solar energy, fridge, wifi
B. THE HOUSE. A beautiful rustic apartment in a the tiny village of Vilaür. Surrounded by old buildings, forests, mountains and fields.I've been designing this home to be inspiring and practical, healthy and ergonomic. It has WiFi and all the other basic comforts of modern life.
In winter, the usual accommodation is the option B, while in summer it's the option A. In autumn and spring, it's usually the A, but it can also be the B, depending on needs and availability. -
What else ...
AREA. L'Alt Empordà is one of the most beautiful and culturally active rural areas of Catalonia. The beaches of Sant Martí d'Empúries, with its Greek ruins and old villages, or Sant Pere Pescador, with it's natural park and bay, or Cap de Creus, with its stunning landscapes, are among the various interesting spots. The mountains of la Garrotxa are also quite close. I go hiking at least once a week.
TRANSPORT. The train station is 3 km away from the house and with the train you can easily go to Girona, Figueres, Barcelona or the beaches of Cap de Creus. If you like, I can lend you a bike to explore the area by yourself.
FOOD. Mostly organic, local, seasonal, plant-based food, prepared in conscious and creative ways. During more than 20 years I've been researching, learning and experiencing about healthy nutrition, and my current eating and cooking style is inspired mainly by Dr. Gundry. Sometimes you will cook for yourself and I'll do the same; some other times you will cook for both or I will do the same; and in some other occasions, we will cook together.
REQUIREMENTS. I usually receive many more applications than I can host, so please, make sure that you feel a genuine resonance with the values and visions I've just outlined.
Stay well! :)
