Description
(CATALAN BELOW)
!!!*right now we only need help from the 17th till the 24rd of August* minimum stay of 5 days, but we prefer all the days.
WHO ARE WE
We are a community of 9 adults, two kids and a baby, living nearby a river, trying to be as self sufficient as possible and always working on improving our lifestyles and being an example for other communities. We´re quite simple and don´t do communal yoga nor meditate but we are open for all type of beliefs and practices. Some of us like playing music, dance, hike, climb, go for swims in our secret gorgue after sweaty work..
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU
we want to use the summer energy to get a lot of work done, as well as enjoy your volunteer vibes and energy.
Some tasks we will be doing together will be processing lots of vegetables from the garden (tomato sauce, jams, pickling), some moving around of materials, creating wells for the fauna, recovering some drywalls and making a new kitchen cozy and ready for use!
Also, we only accept mature adults who are able to take care of themselves.
TIMING
It is very important to us that you come motivated to contribute to our community, besides the 5 hours of work help out with communal tasks like cleaning, cooking, just do some karma yoga now and then.
We are looking for a team of four volunteers + us (four friends, two couples or friends etc) and build a nice and cared vibe for working and sharing during 7-10 days, therefore we prefer you to come and leave all on the same days: 17th and leave the 25rd.
We are very eager to share this time with you :-)
If we all start at the same day, we can decide together as a team on how we want the week to look like and what learning outcomes we would like to have for each of us. Me, Mar, will facilitate the group but I am very flexible and open for suggestions and needs of every one.
if it works out well, we might redo the working week in september and october but for now please only apply for this week in August. *WE WILL NOT RESPOND IF YOU WANT TO COME OTHER TIMES OF THE MONTH/YEAR*
FOOD & ACCOMODATION
Accomodation: You will be sleeping in tents, have access to an outdoor kitchen.
Food: Sometimes breakfast and dinner will be separate and lunch we'll eat all together. As a community we rotate who cooks lunch. you're very welcome to be part of this rotation. We can provide vegan food but we are omnivorous, mainly eco & local and don't buy avocados nor tofu or other typical supermarket stuff (you are welcome to buy them yourselves if needed) but we do have/provide abundance.
Families: There are two children of 7 and 9 who really like to play (with other children or adults)
Animals: We have plenty of animals walking freely around, so only very very tame and calm dogs can be part of that group..
Please at your request tell us
1. Why you want to come
2. What experiences you have in volunteering/crafts/communities
3. The exact days you can come
4. What sleeping option you prefer (van/tent)
5. any other needs or questions..?
EN CATALA...
!!!*ara mateix només necessitem ajuda del 16 al 23 d'agost* estada mínima de 5 dies, però preferim tots els dies.
Som una comunitat de 9 adults, dos nens i un nadó, que vivim a prop d'un riu, intentant ser el més autosuficients possible i treballant sempre per millorar els nostres estils de vida i ser un exemple per a altres comunitats. Som força senzills i no fem ioga comunitari ni meditem, però estem oberts a tot tipus de creences i pràctiques. A alguns de nosaltres ens agrada tocar música, ballar, fer senderisme, escalar, nedar al nostre barranc secret després d'una feina suada...
Volem utilitzar l'energia de l'estiu per fer molta feina, així com gaudir de les vostres vibracions i energia de voluntariat.
Algunes de les tasques que farem junts seran processar moltes verdures de l'hort (salsa de tomàquet, melmelades, escabetx), moure materials, crear pous per a la fauna, recuperar algunes plaques de guix i fer una nova cuina acollidora i a punt per al seu ús!
És molt important per a nosaltres que vingueu motivats per contribuir a la nostra comunitat, a més de les 5 hores de treball, ajudeu amb tasques comunitàries com netejar, cuinar, simplement feu una mica de karma ioga de tant en tant.
Busquem un equip de quatre voluntaris + nosaltres (quatre amics, dues parelles o amics, etc.) i crear un ambient agradable i acollidor per treballar i compartir durant 7-10 dies, per tant preferim que vingueu i marxeu tots els mateixos dies: el 16 i marxeu el 23.
Estem molt desitjant compartir aquest temps amb vosaltres :-)
Si tots comencem alhora, podem decidir junts com a equip com volem que sigui la setmana i quins resultats d'aprenentatge volem tenir per a cadascun de nosaltres. Jo, la Mar, facilitaré el grup, però sóc molt flexible i oberta a suggeriments i necessitats de tothom.
Si funciona bé, podríem refer la setmana laboral al setembre i a l'octubre, però de moment només sol·liciteu aquesta setmana d'agost. *NO RESPONDREM SI VOLEU VENIR EN ALTRES ÈPOQUES DEL MES/ANY*
A més, només acceptem adults madurs que puguin valer-se per si mateixos.
Dormireu en tendes de campanya, tindreu accés a una cuina exterior per esmorzar i sopar i dinareu tots junts a l'interior. Podem oferir menjar vegà, però som omnívors, principalment ecològics i locals.
Si us plau, si ho demaneu, digueu-nos:
1. Per què voleu venir?
2. Quines experiències teniu en voluntariat/artesania/comunitats?
3. Els dies exactes que podeu venir?
4. Quina opció de dormir preferiu (furgoneta/tenda)?
5. Alguna altra necessitat o pregunta? -

in the fields of gardening, woodwork, moving firewood.. and others. The week we invite you it will be the week we as a community reserved for working, so we will do the activities together. We are very interested in help to fix a water basin we use to store water that is now overgrown with plants and we want to fix it properly.. but no special skills are required, it will just be teamwork. and otherwise there will be plenty of other interesting tasks and always accompanied by us. -
