Description
I will be travelling to Guatemala in the first week of March for 2 months with my cousin (and soul sister,) Kaitlyn and we're looking for a work experience for March. We are drawn to communities that value connection to nature, self, and to each other, as well as intentional living especially through farming, meditation and adventure. Kaitlyn's profile is linked to mine, but here's a little about me:

Hi:) I'm Bre from Manitoba, Canada! Any spare moment I get, I'm outside exploring in some way whether thats swimming, camping, chasing the Northern Lights, or heading out on multi day hiking and canoeing trips. I love simple, sustainable ways of living and feel most grounded in nature. I am deeply inspired by the lessons nature offers, especially resilience, patience, and balance.

I've spent much of my life as a solo adventurer, and while that's been fulfilling, lately I've been craving something more rooted that offers deeper community and connection. I'm drawn towards experiences where I can learn new skills, have language exchange and truly feel part of a community.

One day, I hope to build a life closely connected with the land . I would love a small farm where I can grow food, care for animals, and be part of a strong supportive community. I've wanted to try a work exchange for many years, and I see these experiences as a way to begin learning those skills slowly and intentionally. I'm excited to grow through each experience and let every place I visit shape that vision.

For the past 6 years, I've worked as a Paramedic caring for people in rural and remote communities. That experience has shaped how I show up in the world, with adaptability and compassion, and it's also taught me the importance of taking intentional breaks to reset.

Some of my goals:
-🏔️hike the 2,653 mile long Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada
- 🧗‍♀️get better at rock climbibg
- 🏃🏻‍♀️run a half marathon this year
- 🛶pack-rafting trips
- speak Spanish fluently!

Volunteering with NGO alongside G, Lysh, and Ruth was a really meaningful experience. The project is centered around community, sustainability, and intentional living in connection with nature and that is definitely reflected throughout the experience.

I was there for 2 weeks at the beginning of March with my cousin and would have stayed longer… read more if we didn’t already have onward travel booked. It’s somewhere I would love to return to and I’m excited to see how it continues to grow.

From the beginning, especially knowing that we were some of the first volunteers, I was impressed with the communication and organization. Tasks were clearly communicated. The work didn’t feel like work, it was genuinely enjoyable and varied! I even learned a few new skills along the way! I helped with installing mosquito netting, cleaning, painting, transplanting plants, general maintenance, and shopping for fresh produce (while getting to practice Spanish!) The tasks felt purposeful, and the days were well balanced with time to relax and enjoy the space and surrounding area.

There were also opportunities to connect with the local community including visiting a nearby farm and helping with market held at the NGO space.

I took part in both the Seed to Seed and the Life Diet workshops, which added a really meaningful layer to the experience. I learned about how food is grown, harvested, and returned back to the earth, and how our choices impact our bodies and the environment as a whole. It brought a deeper awareness to how everything is connected and how small, intentional choices can make a difference. I highly recommend these workshops!

It’s clear that a lot of thought and intention has gone into not just the space itself, but the bigger vision of what they’re creating and the kind of community they’re building. What they’re creating feels really beautiful and special. G, Ruth, and Lysh are inspiring people to be around, and bring a really positive presence. I felt comfortable right away and it didn’t take long to feel at home.

The food deserves its own mention. Everything was plant based, full of flavour, creative, and honestly some of the best meals I’ve ever had. It’s shifted how I see plant based eating.

One of the most impactful parts of this experience was how it shifted my perspective. It made me rethink how I want to live let go of habits and ways of thinking that didn’t feel aligned. The conversations, environment, and slower pace of daily life created space to reflect. That shift is something I’ll carry with me.

If you come with an open mind and a willingness to be a part of the flow, you’ll get a lot out of this experience.

Thank you G, Ruth, and Lysh (and of course sweet Pinto, Luzy, and Shadow for the cuddles and playing.) <3 I will forever be grateful for this opportunity.

Breanna was such a pleasure to have around here in the community and help out with the project. She was fun, willing and eager to learn, adaptable and showed great leadership skills. She took it upon herself to get the tasks done and even thought outside the box of how she could help out in managing the space. We appreciate her openness in helping… read more
