Description
Hello dear travellers,
My name is Mary, I have also been a workawayer and this program has inspired me in so many ways and helped plant the seed for this project.
This is a future place for creatives and artists to come together and share. We will host workshops and events and help people heal so that they can bring forth the colors of their inner child.
I am a spiritual person who has done some deep dives into self healing and have been called to help others heal as well, hence this project.
Currently, I am still working on getting the esthetic of the house up to where I want it, there are many repairs to be done but mostly what I need is help with painting the exterior and very badly need a CARPINTER! to help me build some low seating tables for upcoming events.
If you are a healer, artist or chef or all of the above. You're my person too. I will exchange a cool place to live and we can collaborate together to make magic with our shared skills.
I am originally from Canada, my parents are Cuban/Peruvian so Spanish is fluent, I have an incredible adopted old dog named Lucho who is basically a big love bear. I used to own a dance studio, and I am a licensed CBT therapist and also work with Psilocybin therapy.
I have a hydroponic tower and looking to get some veggies going in a new garden bed.
If this vibes with you, let's have a chat. I'll usually want to have a phone chat before solidifying anything.

Accommodation
Bedroom inside the main house with en suite bathroom, AC and queen size bed.
Workawayers will either get their own food (We provide condiments) or contribute portion to groceries. Sometimes we like to cook together and sometimes we eat separately, we go with the flow and keep things easy. We can go to the grocery store together weekly.
What else ...
I ask for 4 hours a day, Monday - Thursday and food will be your own expense or you can pitch towards the shop (we can negotiate what works best). I can happily take you to the grocery store and markets, I go once a week and anytime I go out I can take you where you need to go.
There are many shops nearby and the bike path access is very close, I have a bike you can borrow and the bike path to the malecon is very close.
