Description
Hello, world travelers and real life seekers,
We live in a finca of 28 has. of forest , crop and fruit fields,with a great masia farmhouse (Catalan rural house) and adjoining agricultural and polivalent buildings in a beautiful and secluded mountainous environment, next to the Montseny Natural Park, 30 km from the Costa Brava, in the province of Girona.
The project consists of the creation of a farm with usual and unusual aromatic herbs, and everything you can do with them, culinary, medicinal , artistic and cosmetic ways, and in 6-8 months add the possibility of a eco-rural-tourism for little groupes, who are looking for deeply connected with nature, the forest, aromatic and medicinal plants, or/and some ocasionally retreats or sesions of Samadeva and Gurdjieff Mouvements , Ikebana,s etc,
The project is in the beginning, no bussiness activity. By the moment only the eco vegetable garden, the aromatics herbs and the fruit trees are ready,
No customers, no clients by the moment, only us, and some neighbours and friends ocasionally.
We are 3 people working daily actively on the project, and we need help!
We started looking for long-term workawayers, interested in joining our project between 2 and 3months
Possibility of remuneration outside the exchange hours proposed ( 4 ,5hours /5 days week)+30 min dedicates to convivence activities) if someone decides to dedicate more energy and time to the commom project and we agree too.
Welcome creative people, committed, competent and effective in the role assumed, eager to learn and share knowledge and ready to be part of a beautiful project in a privileged natural environment. We will walk together practicing mutual respect and following the rhythms of Nature, with kindness, presence, joy and in the attempt of the "right word", in balance between the fascinating challenge of coexistence and the exercise of regenerating intimacy.
