  Description

  Hi folks. We recently bought 3 hectares of beautiful land in rural Cataluña, surrounded by beautiful nature, fresh water and vineyards, 50 minutes from Barcelona and 25 min from Sitges. We are creating a space for eco sustainability, permaculture & wellness. We are offering learning and free basic accommodation in exchange for aprox. 4 hrs a day. and minimum 4-5 weeks of mucking in.....At this point in the project we are needing experienced help with composting, gardening, farming, permaculture, tending to the chickens, keeping things in order, forestry care and/or building, carpentry, plastering, plastering and bricklaying, etc.
  We recently have installed a sauna and have a hot shower and washing machine facilities.
  We also have a composting/dry toilet, large communal kitchen for shared meals and shared tidying up.
  We have lodgings available and plenty of land for free-camping in campervans and tents.

  Accommodation

  We can provide shopping for the helpers so that they can prepare their own meals. There is a complete community kitchen. Please let us know of any food intolerances.
  
  Our buildings have been semi-reformed and we have 3 private lodgings available for those coming to stay. At the moment there is a hot water shower, dry toilet and sauna! We have loads of space for those coming in their own caravan/van, or for those wishing to stay in a tent.

  What else ...

  Helpers can visit local vineyards, rivers and the lake. The closest town is Vilafranca del Penedes. The beautiful beachtown of Sitges is only a 25 min drive and Barcelona and Tarragona are about 50 min. drive. There is a local bus in the village right next to us, Guardiola de Font Rubí. The whole area is simply beautiful, there's lots to explore! Joining each other in respect, peace, harmony and working with the gifts of giving and receiving.
