  Description

  We are interested in sharing experiences and building genuine connections. We love listening and storytelling.
  
  We are located in a remote and wild alpine area, where time seems to slow down and nature breathes freely. Ancient forests, silent lakes, crystal-clear streams, and wild animals surround us like guardians of a suspended world. Tourism has not yet left deep footprints here: many areas remain untouched, still whispering old legends and mysteries.
  
  If you feel the call of the mountains, of a simple life, of direct contact with Nature, you may have found your refuge. Walking barefoot among the trees, lighting fires that tell stories, sharing silence and laughter under starry skies—each day is an invitation to rediscover yourself.
  
  We offer educational and nature-based activities. Most of our visitors are women, and they appreciate a feminine, open, and sensitive atmosphere. Ideally, we welcome female volunteers who resonate with this energy, though we remain open to anyone who feels aligned with the spirit of this place. If you play an instrument, practice massage, dance, have botanical knowledge, or simply love the beauty of simple gestures, you’ll find space here to express yourself and be warmly received.
  
  Our financial resources are very limited, and we cannot offer any form of payment. This is a volunteer experience based on exchange, trust, and reciprocity. We prefer stays of at least 2–3 weeks to allow for true immersion.
  
  🌿 This place is recommended for:
  -those who love nature and want to connect deeply with it
  -those who are sociable, open-hearted, and smile at life
  -those seeking a touch of magic and freedom
  -those who enjoy an active life but also value quiet
  -those who want to learn the Italian language
  -artists, musicians, writers, and creative women in search of inspiration
  
  🚫 This place is NOT recommended for:
  -those looking for paid work
  -those who don’t enjoy nature
  -those unwilling to get their hands dirty or step out of their comfort zone
  
  The environment is convivial, free, and adult. The house sits at the center of a small universe: sometimes filled with voices and shared meals, other times quiet and deeply regenerating.
  
  If you’re looking for chaos and city life, you won’t find it here. But if you wish to slow down, listen, touch the earth, and be touched by the essence of things, the forest is waiting for you.
  
  We don’t speak foreign languages well, but we’re excellent Italian teachers—and even better listeners.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We can offer you cordiality, company and experiences (professional and human).Above all, you will have the opportunity to observe the particular management of the forest that allows its use at night. You will become part of our family and share history, culture, and good food.

  Help

  The main help requested is for the maintenance of our park. These are outdoor tasks, but not particularly strenuous. Volunteers will contribute to the development of the flower garden, as well as general maintenance (construction, path making, mowing ...).
  
  Help with video/photography, art, and music is also welcome.
  
  We don't usually ask for help with cleaning, but it can happen. Instead, we like to cook and eat together.
  
  * it is important that volunteers bring their own hiking shoes

  What else ...

  The meeting point will be the Udine or Carnia train station. Then we will reach the house by car.
  
  The house is immersed in the forest. The nearest village is 2.5 km away.
  
  Some interesting hiking trails pass by the house, there is also a beautiful alpine stream here.
  
  Without your own means of transport, it is not easy to move around the neighboring countries. But do not worry, once or twice a week we will accompany you ourselves to visit the natural and artistic beauties of the region according to your preferences.
