    Description

    The idea for our project began as a residence, and we have a communal space where we seek to create a place of connection with different types of arts and with consciousness. This is something we feel strongly about now. So if you know something you can share with us, write to us. We need help. We're practically starting this idea in 2025, and we're setting up the space to be able to develop it. This is a quiet, safe place, close to the city but far from it. We're not in the countryside; we're in a residential area with a forest, a river near the house, and a volcano called Ilalo.

    The idea is a restored house that is now used as a residence. It's large enough to require help with the many things that need to be maintained, and that's why we need people willing to help with general housework. It doesn't matter if you don't have special skills because we're more interested in the desire to contribute. What's important is education, respect, and good values.

    We have a beautiful view of the nearby Ilalo volcano, so if you'd like, we can take you to the top. This is an inspiring place, and from the top you can see other volcanoes like Cotopaxi and Antisana.

    ==============
    La idea de nuestro proyecto inicio siendo de una residencia y contamos con un espacio comunal donde estamos buscando hacer un lugar de conexión con diferentes tipos de artes y con la consciencia, esto es algo que ahora sentimos mucho, asi que si sabes algo que nos puedes compartir, escribenos, necesitamos ayuda, ahora practicamente iniciando este 2025 con esta idea y estamos acomodando el lugar para poder desarrollar esta idea, este es un lugar tranquilo, seguro, cerca de la ciudad pero apartado de ella, no estamos en el campo, estamos dentro de una urbanización con bosque, un rio cerca de la casa, un volcan que se llama Ilalo.

    La idea es una casa que fue restaurada que ahora es utilizada como una residencia, es lo suficientemente grande como para necesitar ayuda con tantas cosas que hay que hacer mantenimiento y por eso necesitamos personas con ganas de ayudar en quehaceres de la casa en general, no importa si no tienes habilidades especiales porque mas nos interesa las ganas de aportar, lo importante es la educación, el respeto, y los buenos valores.

    Tenemos una hermosa vista hacia el volcán Ilalo el cual se encuentra cerca así que si les gusta, podemos llevarlos a la cima, este es un lugar inspirador y desde la cima se puede ver otros volcanes como el Cotopaxi o el Antisana.
