Details

  Description

  We're building a place where Sense meets dense; where Care meets the Other; where Home meets the Land and – where hand goes in hand.
  These are all foundational elements you should consider contemplating on 😊 ✨ 🙏
  
  
  
  Currently we got a safe base of operations but we want to get together with dedicated and passionate people who are ready to take on a challenging project. The direction is establishing a center for nature, therapy, art, gardening and alternatives whilst reinforcing a tribe-like community. Therefore - priority will have long term people but if creation oriented and resonating - short stays are welcome just as much <3
  
  
  
  
  IMPORTANT: ✅
  
  An individual profile based on shared values, intention and principles, serves as a compatibility guideline – so that we can inspire each other within a THRIVING environment and safeguard time, energy investment and a smooth selection/decision making process, therefore, PLEASE be mindful, take 30 minutes ⌚🙏& READ the whole page (continue scrolling until it's not possible to scroll anymore) BEFORE messaging 👁️ 💯 otherwise you - might get an automated template response and your application denied.
  
  Please, let's save each other's energy 🙏💖😊
  
  
  Dear Other, (Home seeker) – if you:
  
  
  ® are ready to be heard while we take harmonious turns at voicing out our needs, ideas and calls to action.
  
  ® are ready to CHALLENGE the ways/habits/automated actions ( for example smoking, drinking alcohol/coffee etc or indulge in substance dependency ) and dedicate towards mindfulness, tenderness: both yours and those of others.
  
  ® will find a way to hold safe space and communicate perspectives and observations in a constructive way.
  
  ® think in terms of US ( and not I );
  are conscious & inclined towards regenerative, sustainable ways to co-exist with nature and the environment around;
  
  ® identified the silly, sickening ways of the mass consumer mindset & want to build alternatives for the whole spectrum of actions and being;
  
  ® resonate with concepts like: (semi)nomadic, hitch hiking, walking, cycling, counter-consumerism, non-violence, waste prevention and natural products. You avoid packaged goods as much as possible and try to limit your trash/waste generating;
  
  ® go for SLOW travel and purposeful connection;
  
  ® are ready to be offline from devices or highly limit your time on them, use it for research only and will not casually carry/display it. We'll stick to simple and natural ways and focus on promoting mindfulness and person to person connection/presence.
  
  ® are seeking meaning & action, knowing that action in alignment with values and common senses – will deliver fulfillment which is superior to happiness.
  
  ® say NO to drugs (yes, tobacco, coffee and any substance that you feel addicted to or that you 'need' - counts as a drug) & PLEDGE to be sober:
  REMEMBER, we are here to CHALLENGE vices, consumerism, comfort, dependencies & think of health, PREVENTION, gentleness and togetherness.*
  
  
  * Of course you have the right to consume whatever substances and do whatever you want to your body. You're free and should be. But there's no room here to accommodate such behavior or inclinations🙏✨🙏 sorry 🤗
  
  
  
  
  🚫⛔🚫
  
  If you're UNquestioning reality & the general systems and support a limited/closed/fixed take on life; if you're fancy, comfortable, EGOdriven, shallow, artificial, unconsciously consuming, substance dependent, and not dedicated to seriously change all these aspects -then - this place is NOT for you, and you'll save time by NOT reading further!
  
  ------------------------------------------
  
  Your time here is on trial. One week, maximum two are plenty space to discover and see if compatible with each other. Please be mindful and understand that reality is sensitive and multiple month/long requests - even if approved, will still undergo a trial/adjustment period.
  
  We'll have feedback rounds/communication checkpoints and hold an up to date attitude in dealing with ideas, tensions and preferences, honoring all our voices being heard and hence having a constructive and welcoming environment of safety and inclusion, where nobody's going to be bottling up disregard, contraction or shadows. Please be ready to free yourself and keep at it: enable those around you to do the same 😊 🙏 ✨
  
  Your request will be declined if it doesn't show you've actually read the whole page. It's impressive how many shallow or almost empty messages we get. Think DEPTH, please 🥺
  I shouldn't have to ask for it
  ------------------------------------------
  
  INTENTION: 🙏
  
  The place and the approach is more like that of an extended family that unites under three elements: ✨ Care, home, land✨
  
  We focus on connecting with people who like to approach Life quite literally and have this three words as concepts to draw inspiration and intentionality from.
  
  For those interested in an exchange or activity co-operative/tribe building - this is more than a general workaway experience and will NOT accommodate touristic visits:
  
  Keep in mind: this project is in EARLY days, and even though the concept was designed a couple months ago, I myself am in this place since November. However, I've been designing this project and travelling to this point of creation - my whole Life & started to design its blueprints more actively around 8 years ago...
  
  
  
  THE SPACE: 🎪
  The location is NOT ideal to build the community this project wants to create: We are currently restructuring and working towards achieving a new place.
  You must be ready on the wild side and like challenges. This stage is to build a core team to take further down the road and towards getting to a proper place to set all this up. The location at the moment is just a 'meanwhile' thing.
  
  
  
  AMENITIES: 🛜⚡
  WiFi, electricity, toilets, shower, water.
  
  SLEEPING: 😴💤
  One campervan that can squeeze 4 people. Please bring a sleeping bag. You're welcome to pitch your tent if you'd like. Otherwise be ready to share the space.
  
  DISTANCES: ↔️
  The city of Moires is close: 4km - central bus station is there.
  
  20km to the Sea/Beach!!! ⛱️
  12 km to Tymbaki
  45km to Heraklion
  
  THE PLAN: 📜
  
  'COME AROUND AND JUST DO IT!' (Olivia, 2025)
  
  Be part of it.
  I envision a place with medicinal plants/herbs of all sorts to be added/planted/cared for. Veggies/fruitrees.
  Therapy, healing, meditation, workshops, jam sessions, dancing, yoga, stretching, hiking, small concerts, circles, gatherings and more to take place! Please feel free to insert your ideas here and we together make them come forth! Bit like a festival-Home that keeps on keeping on. Are you ready for that?
  
  HUMAN PROFILE: 👫
  NO DRUGS/ALCOHOL
  You must be interested at least, if not already into consciousness, connection, kindness, eco friendly, counter consumeristic and alternative thinking. Arts, crafts, diy, practical, walk the walk and talk on point.
  
  
  
  
  If you resonate with the call & embody, Please get in touch! 🙏♥️ 🙏
  
  Of course, also if you just want to hop on a call, 🤙 you can message me before applying, but still make sure you have read the whole thing first and we can go through your curiosities, feedback, discussion points. COMMUNICATION - you will always be welcome as long as it's kind and constructive 🤗

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Being around like minded people will be a juicy cultural exchange and learning opportunity.
  
  The stars in the sky are clear because of very little light pollution. Astral exchanges are here for you to dive into.
  
  Additionally, English practice, arts, music, poetry, amazing photography (if you want memories through images or if you'd like a personal portfolio while flowing your art/performance - I would be happy and honored to gift my passion for photography to other artists)
  
  The intention of the place is to set the tone for a holistic and therapeutic feeling.
  A thriving inner & outer world.
  
  
  I invite you to share about your passion/s and your needs, as I accommodate a wide range of people and journeys:
  - Are you a type of person/group that - needs a program and a design?
  - or - you are willing to contribute and be part of the 'tribe' and bring your initiative and curiosities to the table?
  
  What I am trying to say is that I like to have a place where flow is the driving essence - even though discipline comes in most cases with a bit of strictness, I believe we can organize our days and micro-plan activities and interests according to alignment and resonance.
  
  I can offer you a conscious mind which can accompany you on the journey to your inner self and the world. I am an occupational guide for healing harmony and it would be a pleasure to do what I am passionate about. However, you need to be proactive and request this service of me - especially if you are interested in refining communication, inner work, harmony, clarity, developing your business, truth, relationships (of any kind), and the list can go on, as my interest and experience is rather general and dynamic - as I never took pleasure in boxing myself in a singular approach.
  
  Please communicate what your interests are - because I'm a HIGHLY dynamic & all around creature -so I'll need assistance in matching your curiosities and inclinations. I'll do my best to crack you open, but it's even better if you simplify the process and just pour it out, letting me know what you want to discover/learn about. I am very good at answering questions and diving into it, so feel free to use this method to take me to where you would like to travel 🙏 😊 ✨
  
  I can share Knowledge about alternative travel, hitch hiking, cycling and wild camping. I have been traveling for the last 10 years and I have done so mostly in alternative ways. It has been the best time of my Life and now I choose to travel through the minds, perspectives and connections I create, as I exhausted pretty much all curiosities of overland experiences and no longer represents an interest.
  
  A chance to enjoy silence or blindness, all kind of alternative ideas at play and experimental fun activities - again, please state your interest/s because I have a light form of attention deficit disorder and otherwise I will always have something to do related with my own passions and interests or others who access some of those. Please do not be shy, because I really want to offer you an amazing time and gift you beautiful memories... <3
  
  
  👀 What else is here for you: 👀
  
  A chance to digitally detox.
  A chance to meditate and invite the new.
  A chance to build momentum and energy.
  A chance to enjoy a surprise experience (for animal Lovers and gentle souls ONLY!!!):
  You can accompany me on a day to an animal sanctuary and give me a hand with things as well as enjoying 22 cats, 33 donkeys, 4 dogs 👀
  I mean ...not necessarily give me a hand with the work itself, unless you want to, otherwise I'll introduce you to the animals and thennnn: good luck loving so many souls with only two hands, LOL 😂
  The sanctuary is...a sanctuary and it's not my place, therefore, if there is interest, you tell me and then we will discuss details in depth/arrange it.
  I can't promise this experience is for everyone because it requires peace, sync, and - a certain approach. Also it's exclusive for visiting atm BUT I might be able to extend the exception statute to you too. Please DON'T count on a yes, because I'm not in charge and can't promise access - even if you're the most gentle soul on the planet! Nothing personal...
  
  
  
  
  Are you ready to immerse into a very alternative playground that honors nature, simplicity and cooperation?
  
  Are you ready to Care?
  Are you ready for Home?
  Are you ready for the Land?
  
  Let's gather!
  ✨ 💜✨ 💜✨ 💜✨ 💜✨

  Help

  Community Building: we’re curious to discover resonating Souls - in order to co-create - even if it is on a remote basis - for now. Practical and Gentle hands will always be welcome - as long as they are attached to conscious minds:
  
  Creators and initiative takers, logistic geeks, internet benders, podcasters, filmmakers, writers, journalists, social-carers, networking magicians, multi linguists, designers, nomads, Yesmads: I need all of ya. There's never too many of us.
  
  
  
  The current place is just a ‘meanwhile base’. It is definitely not beautiful but I believe beauty is in the eye and heart of the beholder. Let's manifest a better place together at our meanwhile base!
  
  We need help with ideas, maintenance, computer work, social media, podcast/film making, community building, research, grants, social reach-out, editing, writing, dancing, meditating, conversation, massage exchanging, breathing, being, co-creating, trusting, business generating, cooking and anything extra to harmoniously existing: if you have knowledge in these areas - please get in touch, so we can make a plan of action.
  
  It's all experimental and we’ll be co-creating a sense of unity and community, host events, cook, organize hikes and (insert your ideas here) soon establish ourselves in a better location, as the current one it is more of a safe base to come together rather than build something there.
  
  This is an alternative Gig - that's for sure.
  We envision and build a place of Freedom and expression - and you too - CAN play a part!
  
  
  I'm happy to chat / preferably get on a call. ✨ 💜
  
  Some activities that might happen here, as we are slowly tapping into the local and remote community of the island:
  
  We might babysit, eldersit, petsit, cook, organize jam sessions, circles, and you name it, so a lot of dynamism to be experienced here, for sure!
  
  
  
  Our place is a philosophy of Life that goes beyond theory 🙏 It's up to each of us to build it 😊
  
  Remember the key elements:🗝️ Care, Home, Land!
  
  If you resonate and want to learn more, please get in touch!

  Accommodation

  A caravan which can squeeze 4 people.
  Room for parking a van or two
  
  FOOD: I can't provide full meals/feed everyone. We can cook together and we all contribute for food, otherwise eat by ourselves. It is inexpensive - but because I don't expect much hours or days from Workawayers I can't fully cover expenses... However:
  
  
  The plan with this place is coming together to generate events and experiment as a mini tribe to see what we can manifest by intention and action as well as enjoying the fruits of our work and even potential financial gains which will be split equally if profits made, else reinvested in the next event 💜
  
  This is not a place for you to come to holiday but rather a place for you to come and create and manifest generating ideas to keep it in a state of permanent... Holy-Day.
  We are NOT looking for tourists or shallow visits. We are looking for dedicated hands that want to join the movement.
  
  We are Change-makers. Are you one also? Can you describe your vision and state so in your future message? <3
  
  
  
  
  Access to water, toilets, gas, kitchen, therapy.
  The rest, we all need to figure out, together! 😊
  
  It's best if you have a sleeping bag if you visit during the cold season.
  
  It's pretty wild, but it's an honest place that invites creativity, consciousness and an experimental mindset 😋 ✨
  
  I'm open for discussion, questions, ideas, feedback 🙏
  
  Talk soon and safe travels! 🙏 ✨ 💜
  
  I'm NOT asking for any fee from Workawayers nor planning to!
  
  If you'd like to donate/support the cause, I can accommodate your contributions, in a number of ways: 🌊
  
  Financial;💰
  OR:
  Physical: 🪃
  Musical instruments, a Boomerang 🪃 (I'm trying to manifest a boomerang for a friend's birthday), solar panels/station batteries or knowledge, cute blankets, garden tools, seeds, plants, trees - especially ones you'd like to look after or come back to later in time, Sheep fur carpets, a mini camera tripod for recording purposes, a GoPro, a podcasting microphone, etc....
  Metaphysical: 🌌
  Spread the word, tag, print, share your feedback, get involved, become an ambassador for this place, ask for more info and inspiration if you want to get involved and this place inspired you, so it can easily get further at inspiring others! ✨

  What else ...

  I love ethical pirates and consider connection and knowledge should be free from financial binding.
  
  
  My life is lived in alignment with TRUTH and principles that are eco friendly/sustainability oriented, hence: counter consumerist by extension.
  
  Meals cooked here should be vegetarian or vegan, as I avoid having blood or corpses on the table. So shall you 😊
  
  I treasure Life and all hardworking grinding species. Remember what each word means. That's the vision applied towards all living creatures.
  
  In order to show that you've navigated to this entry and actually have a chance to come here, please include the word CHL into the message or future discussion, so a little bit like a code/pass word/ticket for entry kind of thing. I'm trying to prevent bots from access 😂 therefore consider this my offline captcha test. Hope you'll pass! I am getting a lot of messages and I had to do something regarding the level of disregarding inquiries I received. Therefore I can just slap an auto-response and have amazing coverage to do that ;)
  
  ✍️ Also, consider laying out your critiques/feedback/inclinations and actually - please take your time applying.
  Consider it a letter of intention/community application. Introduce yourself and tell us more about your journey in Life, Nature and what makes you feel fulfilled and grateful. Where are you leading your Life? What do you do to honor this beautiful Planet and the gift of Living. What's your approach to the guidelines and elements listed at the beginning of the page?
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  🏡
  In an often silly 'mankind' world, I think it's up to us to find the proper vibe and 'roommates'. This Workaway entry is an extension/tool for the matching search:
  
  bit like a Lighthouse🗼 for the seekers at sea who resonate and recognize the spectrum of Light and would like to come Home - and build additional accommodating rooms - if there's not enough of them yet ✨ 🙏 ✨
  
  
  I invite you to be part of building this project! 💜
  Kind regards,
  Allin&Olivia
