Description
We are Micòl (52), Arturo (19), Cosimo (16), and Amir (9).
We live in a small and simple house on the hill in Cassibile, 10km from Siracusa, near the "Riserva Naturale di Cavagrande del Cassibile" and near the beach of Fontane Bianche.
We are an unschooling family.
If you are connected with NVC, you are very, very welcome.
Our life is both predictable and difficult to describe, as I wish to meet our needs with creativity, and I'm exploring all the time what works for us. At the moment we are at home the pst of the time (not travelling) so we study, meet friends, and keep the house going.So nothing particularly exciting unless you are interested in diving into the exploration of living relationship out of the concept of "I have to"...there is where most of our time goes...exploring our communcation and our way of bringing our autentcity to the world.
Details of the works we would like to do are below. We would like to host people who can drive in case it is needed.
We have water only from the rain so we ask to our hosts to be very careful in using it.
That's why I ask you to use a compost toilet and an external shower where the water is recycled.
We want to host people:
-who understand that we are sharing the house, so we clean common spaces together or with turns
- who tries to respect and use carefully food, water, electricity by not wasting them
Italian speakers are very much welcomed from my kids!!!
We don't smoke and prefer to host no smokers.
Bring your musical instrument if you play....we need you so much!!!
We live with 3 dogs and a cat at the moment
