    Description

    My name is Imane, i run a cooperative here where we make dried fruits, nut spreads, granolas, and other delicious products. As a nature lover, I have chosen to build my life away from the city and want to share this journey with others.
    I’m working on an experimental project aimed at creating a sanctuary for freedom, well-being, and cultural exchange. Here, we focus on arts, sustainable architecture, and permaculture.
    I dream of a place where we can live and work closely with nature, explore innovative ideas, and create inspiring spaces while having fun together.
    If you share this vision and want to help build a unique community, I’d love to have you join us!

    ** Update November 2024 **

    We’re looking for enthusiastic individuals with skills in carpentry and farming/gardening to join us in building a unique, sustainable sanctuary that embraces nature and creativity.

    Here’s how you can contribute:

    • Carpentry: We need help rebuilding our bungalows, which are currently made from Moroccan bamboo but are not rain-resistant. Your skills will be essential for creating more durable structures, possibly using wood or other materials. We’ve also started crafting a wooden room with a unique mandala-inspired roof that needs weatherproofing for the winter season.

    • Farming and Gardening: We’re developing a garden around the ecolodge to grow fresh produce and create a welcoming, green environment for our guests. If you have experience with planting, soil preparation, and garden design, your expertise will be greatly appreciated.

    We’re also welcoming a couple or close friends for a long-term stay to help with:

    • Daily upkeep tasks like cooking and cleaning to create a warm, inviting space
    • Supporting other Workawayers in a friendly and collaborative way, ensuring everyone feels at home and can enjoy working together

    We’re looking for passionate individuals who enjoy hands-on work, aren’t afraid of getting their hands dirty, and are excited to bring new ideas to life. This is a learning-focused, collaborative environment, so if you’re eager to exchange knowledge and skills and contribute to a shared vision, we’d love to have you with us.

    Our project requires dedication and hard work, so we value those who are genuinely excited about making a positive impact and learning as part of our community. Together, we’ll build a vibrant space where creativity, nature, and sustainable living come together.

    Looking forward to meeting people who want to make a lasting impact and share in this journey!
