Description
Hello dear workaweyers, we are a family guardian of a sacred forest on the Istmo of Tehuantepec, the most cultural region of Oaxaca. Our project is called Casa Zapotal, it is a space for rest and recreation with cabins for rent, a camping area and 3 pools to cool off in hot seasons. To sustain ourselves financially we open access to the pools on weekends and offer food for guests and visitors (clients) so sometimes we have a FULL HOUSE and for that we require many hands, would you like to help us keep this house in the woods beautiful and clean? We have many activities that we share as a family such as watering plants, raking the leaves of the trees, composting, reactivating the garden, cleaning cabins and bathrooms, cooking, washing dishes, service, general cleaning of floors and space, construction of cabins, etc. I would like to bring people who really like to live and work with the land.
My brother is an artist, he is 34 and his art workshop is here, so if you are an artist, muralist, land art you would like to meet him, you can find his art at @manuel_trapiche
My parents live here, lolita cooks and my dad gets the firewood, we cook in an open kitchen with a fire in a dining room where everyone is welcome, in the kitchen we all do everything to help my mother with the workload and if If you like construction, you can support my dad with the projects he has in mind.
I want to tell you that you must like life in the forest to be here because we don't have Wi-Fi, sometimes there isn't good coverage and there are mosquitoes! It's hot but the rains are coming soon and it's delicious; We have 5 dogs and 5 cats that need to be fed every day and many plants to water. We eat deliciously and calmly, with the sound of water all day, the sounds of nature and starry skies, it is definitely a lifestyle.
My name is Edith, now Im not there, Im travel to portugal for 3 months (september-december) but my family are happy to recive workawayers, anyway Im going to talk about me: I am 31 and I am in charge of the logistics of the space, events, cooking, etc. I like to share from my personal process the tools that have helped me develop my awakening of consciousness, so sometimes we have ceremonies with Ayahuasca and ancestral medicines , o made temazcales, cacao ceremony, oracle readings, retreats and personal accompaniments, I am a chef and I love going to the beach from time to time so Im Sure if Im there we go to the beach, if you cook and want to share your flavor at home you are welcome .
I am convinced that if there is something in you that wants to heal, the house will open its doors to receive you, this house is magic, the forest was a ceremonial place for the ancestors , we have done a lot of healing here and it is a very sacred place.
Welcome home 🏡
For september to december We prefer volunteers who speak Spanish, just my brother speak english but he doesnt there all time, if you wants to learn spanish maybe you can use Translator all the time and Have a patience with my parents.
I am also looking for a person or couple who wants to stay for a month up to 3 months in my house, this is apart from volunteering. My house is a small cabin with a kitchen and bathroom. The only thing I require is that you water the plants, (take like 1 hour for a day for reasing the plants) take care of my space, keep it clean and feed the cats.

Hola queridos workaweyers, somos una familia guardiana de un bosque sagrado en el Istmo de Tehuantepec, la región más cultural de Oaxaca. Nuestro proyecto se llama Casa Zapotal, es un espacio de descanso y recreación con cabañas para rentar, zona camping y 3 albercas para refrescarse en las temporadas de calor. Para sostenernos económicamente abrimos el acceso a las albercas los fines de semana y ofrecemos alimentos para huéspedes y visitas (clientes) entonces por veces tenemos CASA LLENA y para eso requerimos muchas manos, ¿te gustaría apoyarnos a mantener esta casita del bosque bella y limpia? Tenemos muuuuuchas actividades que en familia compartimos cómo regar plantas, rastrillar las hojas de los árboles, compostaje, reactivación de huerto, limpieza de cabañas y Baños, cocina, lava loza, servicio, limpieza en general de pisos y espacio, construcción de cabañas etc me gustaría traer gente que le guste mucho convivir y trabajar con la tierra, nos gusta recibir personas de todo el mundo para compartir e intercambiar ideas.
Mi hermano es artista, tiene 34 y su taller de arte está aquí, así que si eres artista, muralista, land art y te gustará conocerlo , puedes encontrar su arte en @manuel_trapiche
Mis padres viven aquí, lolita cocina y mi papá consigue la leña, cocinamos en una cocina abierta y con fuego en un comedor donde todos son bienvenidos, en la cocina todos le entramos a todo para ayudar a mi madre con la limpieza y carga del trabajo y si te gusta la construcción puedes apoyar a mi papá con los proyectos que tiene en mente.
Quiero decirte que debe gustarte la vida en el bosque para estar aquí por que no tenemos wifi, a veces no hay buena cobertura y hay mosquitos! Hace calor pero ya llegaron las lluvias y es delicioso; tenemos 5 perros y 5 gatos qué hay que alimentar cada día y muchas plantas para regar, comemos delicioso y en calma, con el sonido del agua todo el día, los sonidos de la naturaleza y cielos estrellados, definitivamente es un estilo de vida.
Yo me llamo Edith, ahora no estoy en casa por que viajé a Portugal y vuelvo en diciembre, pero voy a hablarte de mi, tengo 31 y me encargo de la logística del espacio, eventos , cocina etc me gusta compartir desde mi proceso personal las herramientas que me han ayudado a desarrollar mi despertar de consciencia, entonces a veces tenemos ceremonias con Ayahuasca y medicinas ancestrales, hago temazcales, ceremonia de cacao, lecturas de oráculo, retiros y acompañamientos personales, soy Cocinera y me encanta irme de vez en cuando a la playa, así que si llegas cuando yo estoy ahí es seguro que nos vamos al mar, si cocinas y quieres compartir tu sabor en casa eres bienvenid@
Estoy convencida de que si hay algo en ti que quiere sanar la casita abrirá sus puertas para recibirte, esta casa es mágica, para nuestros ancestros ese bosque era un lugar muy sagrado y ahí hacian sus ofrendas al agua, hemos hecho mucha sanación aquí y es un lugar muy sagrado. Bienvenid@ a casa 🏡
Por estos tres meses preferimos personas que hablen español o estén aprendiendo español ya que mis padres no hablan inglés y mi hermano no está siempre en casa.
También estoy buscando una persona o pareja que quiera quedarse por un mes hasta 3 meses en mi casa, esto es aparte del voluntariado. Mi casa es una pequeña cabaña con baño y cocina. Lo único que requiero es que rieguen las plantas, cuiden mi espacio, mantengan limpio y le den de comer a los gatos. Los alimentos son independientes pero si te quieres sumar al voluntariado por 5 hrs al día aparte de las tareas de la casa puedo darte los alimentos también.Types of help and learning opportunities
