Description

Hello everybody,

my Name is Lisa. Since 2018 I have been living and working on a permaculture project in the alps of Switzerland. We are a community of more or less 30 people running the permaculture project and a seminar centre where we host seminars about permaculture but also meditation, dance therapy, nature connection, destillation, Wim Hof practices, Yoga and many more. My main job here is to take care of the herbary. We collect wild herbs and cultivate native and Mediterranean herbs and make beautiful herbal products to sell.

Since I was a child my interest has been to learn about the fascinating healing powers of our Mother Nature through her gifts of medicinal herbs, the power of her elements and the strength in the beauty of her landscapes and the companionship of animals. I absolutely love giving courses about nature connection like plant meditation, cooking over fire, the alchemy of making hydrosol with a copper-, glass- or Pot distill, the traditions of our pagan ancestors and foraging harvested herbs.

Other than that I love dancing, hiking, connecting with people, sharing songs to sing and handcrafting.
For some years I was crafting jewelry from copper, clay, brass and macrame, which I sold on small festivals and handcrafting markets, now in little shops :)
This life of mine is now fully dedicated to all the different Aspects of Nature and to exploring and building community.

What I would bring to a place is enthusiasm to help wherever it is needed, much love for all humans, animals and nature, an open heart and mind and a big motivation for getting my hands dirty. Also I consider myself a pretty good cook with experience to cook for up to 30 people :)

I have been volunteering many times in my life and my work in Switzerland is always together with volunteers, so I know both sides of how to work with volunteers and how to be a good helper :)

More details about your skills

I would say my main skills are a wide knowledge about medicinal herbs, distilling hydrosol for many different uses. Cultivating, collecting, processing medicinal herbs in many different ways. I know how to create fertile beds for herbs and veggies.
Making really good meals from little ingredients is another skill I am pretty happy with :)
I would say I have good social skills from having lived in community since six years and before that another six years always in shared flats - I am good with receiving and giving constructive criticism and am always happy to find practical solutions for the happiness of the collective.
In general, i have a lot of energy and motivation to help and work in different areas. I am communicative, well adaptable and for sure reliable.
