  • Description

    Description

    We are Lucia, Agnese - a 11 years girl - and Felice - 9 years.
    We live in Valle Tanaro - not far from Turin and close to the seaside as well as to the mountains.
    We live in a big house in the forest, close to a big river (Tanaro) - where you can swim! - and we can go easily in the little town of Ceva.
    We have a 7m high room where we train circus disciplines and theatre in general.
    The house has a big wood oven that we light up almost every month to bake pizzas and bread - we have a sauna that we light up with wood!

    To workaway people we host, we ask to help 5 hours a day in outsides jobs (stocking wood, cleaning nature around the house, taking care of the green....) or works about the house (big cleaning, order, taking care of kids...).

    Every day we organize the activities, in summer when it's very hot we usually work the early morning (7h-11h) and then have a break until 5pm when we work another couple of hours.

    If someone has particular needs (for example prefers to have afternoons free) we can decide together a different schedule to get together all the hours.

    We prefer to take a couple of days period to decide together if the collaboration is fine and after decide with the volounteers to continue or not; we like to do a video call WA or Google meet before meeting live.

    Grazie!!!
