• We need someone to cook for all of us some day, do the regular jobs in the kitchen and enjoy it. We eat vegetarian, we like to buy good food and local planted. We offer always wonderful food! If you are interested in fermentation and preservation of food, would be awesome!
.
• Someone who enjoys working in the garden. Also if you have knowledge about botanic or natural medicine, would be wonderful.
• Someone who can help Erol with carpentry jobs, mainly light ones. You don't have to be a professional. In case you have a passion for building and carpentry, would be great too.
• Someone who can lead regular yoga or pilates teachings! In case you can teach any sport in a professional way, you are welcome.
We got also a sailboat wich needs maintenance all year long. Small jobs.
We look for people who enjoy these jobs, who are open to learning, teaching, and getting involved in the life we are building here. We provide all the materials you need and give you a push so that you can evolve in whatever you love or can do best! We look for people who also are easy-going and have no problem trying a mix of many activities and tasks.
We treat our volunteers with love, care, and attention. We are humans helping each other in living the lives we want.
People with their own musical instruments are welcome too!
Campfire watching the awesome sky with unknown stars around a campfire is one of our specials.....
We love it!
