What You’ll Experience Here:
Eco-Community Living: Participate in daily life with a conscious, heart-centered vision. Share nourishing food, art, music, knowledge, and spiritual connection to the land.
Permaculture & Zero Waste: Help cultivate and maintain our gardens and food forests, support composting, eco-construction, and waste-reduction projects.
Ancestral Medicine: Learn about sacred plant traditions and participate in ceremonies (if aligned and appropriate), guided by experienced facilitators.
Creative Expression: Engage in art, painting, music, movement, natural crafts, and co-creating spaces that are alive with beauty and meaning.
Hostel Life: Support the daily flow of our small artistic hostel—welcoming travelers, preparing meals, keeping spaces clean, and creating a peaceful vibe.
Cultural Exchange: Connect with locals and other volunteers through language, stories, food, rituals, and shared purpose.
What We’re Looking For:
We welcome open-hearted, community-minded volunteers with an interest in ecology, wellness, indigenous traditions, and creativity. Experience in gardening, cooking, construction, art, or hospitality is a plus—but we value presence, initiative, and respect above all.
Things to note:
As we aim to produce zero waste and contamination and to live a healthy lifestyle in alignment with our values, we ask that you don't bring any damaging products such as cigarettes, coca cola or highly processed foods to the finca, for the health of your bodies, ours and the planet. We do have organic tobacco on-site if you wish to smoke.
We look forward to welcoming you, to ground, heal, create, and grow together in harmony with the land and spirit.

What else ...
Volunteers will have plenty of free time to explore the wonders of Jardin, Antioquia. From the countless hikes to caves and waterfalls, coffee tours and paragliding to simply relaxing in a hammock at the finca admiring our pachamama or taking a trip down to the river on the property, there is something for all nature lovers in the beautiful mountains of Jardin
A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Can host digital nomads
We get lots of digital nomads visiting us. The internet is generally quite good though it can cut out occasionally as in the mountains we don´t always have the best connection. If that is a major problem for you there are also internet cafes in the town.
Can possibly accept pets
We love animals and have 5 cats and 3 dogs. We accept travellers with pets though ask that they are respectful of the shared space, being careful that they don´t chase after the cats, clean up after them and not let them use blankets or towels from the hostel.
