    Description

    ***Due to recent heavy rains and landslides in the region our home is in urgent need of helpers to stabilize the land and secure structures that have been damaged. All help is welcome. Please get in touch if you're around and can support us. THANK YOU

    Our vision is to build a jungle temple to rewild and self retreat in nature. Being here you're embraced by the environment with all your senses: the sound of birds and flowing waters, seeing green all around you, feeling the wind, the fire and the water on your skin, tasting the grounding flavours of the earth with wholesome food. Practicing yoga and meditation, self nourishing, playing music, singing, dancing or simply being in silence. That's the medicine offered here.

    In terms of infrastructure we have our home temple which is a simple but completely private space with lots of greenery all around, on top of a hill. It's quite peaceful and lovely situated. Directly below there's a beautiful river with lots of natural pools and rocks to enjoy the sun and flowing waters. Lots of birds abound as well as butterflies and even small monkeys. We live with a family of five cats: Aleli (father), Luna (mother), and their offspring, 7 cats in total!

    We need help with:
    - carpentry, building, water works
    - landscaping, gardening, permaculture
    - videographer / photographer
    - healing arts, music, yoga, any therapeutic modalities

    Please let us know:
    - a bit about yourself, what brings you here?
    - what skill or abilities are you willing to share?
    - your intended dates

    We look forward to hearing from you!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The house is located in the heart of a lovely up and coming mountain village full of interesting eco projects, cultural / conscious events, gatherings, and activities. Here you can get a real taste of rural life in the Colombian Caribbean that is slowly opening up and growing. You will see a simpler, more human way of life.

    Help

    There's a need for strong, helpful people with construction skills, working the land, creative at building things (such as an artisanal oven). There's so much room for improvement and creation!

    We would love to build a food forest and fill the land with fruits, flowers, medicinal plants... (theres quite a lot already but not a system in place) URGENT NEED for this!

    As well for someone with a passion for videography / photography. A drone is a huge plus!

    There's a lot of work to be done and it requires mental strength as well as lots of heart. Rest assured this will be quite rewarding as the love you put in will be returned many times over.

    We'll start the day with a morning practice at 7am followed by a light breakfast. Work hours are flexible

    Accommodation

    At the moment we can offer a cozy, semiprivate space with a hammock in the main house. We would love to build additional accommodations for workawayers and helpers to have their own space in the jungle.

    Light breakfast and lunch provided. You can use the kitchen and we can share cooking duties :)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    In your free time you can enjoy the beautiful water pools right below, full of big rocks and incredible spots for recharging and relaxing. We live near Tayrona National Park which is a must visit at some point during your stay. Along this coast there are lots of magical beaches to go to - not a far distance by bus - and quite a bit of natural places to explore, as well as a pretty full lineup of conscious events and activities. However, staying at home will be one of your favorite things to do! As it's so peaceful and pretty here :)

    I'm excited to meet you!
