Description
Hey community,
Hey friends,
Love to introduce myself.
I am Jaciara, 28,
Artist and Ritualist.
I enjoy puring my soul into artsy visual forms, dancing, connecting to heart guided people and having deep soulful conversations about what makes us laugh and cry.
Love being with animals and plants. Most happy you find me near water sources.

Am looking for connections where I can support you in household tasks, creative activities like painting or crafting, gardening, caretaking of home or animals.

Dreaming of a community place, sharing time and connections with the land aswell as with eachother in togatherness.
Currently looking to find where I can be also like to live more longer time. For now checking out communities and farms.
The last three month I helped at olive farms, Quintas and guesthouse and with people that where happy to have their walls transformed with paintings in Italy and Portugal.

I would like to mention after gaining different workaway experiences that, Im not the best choice for hard physical labour, like carrying heavy building materials, concrete, stone moving topics since Im more lightful in the finer things of life. Like care work for plants, animals, home and humans, spiritual labour, creative tasks and thinking.

If this resonates with you and you need support in your projects, am very happy to read from you and get to know eachother more.

My biggest passion is drawing and painting, currently Im experimenting with producing my own natural colours from organic sources. I painted canvases, clothing, designed lots of different graphics, made whole murals on walls for a shop or a guest house room

As a ritualist Im practising holding space for others, especially woman, to embrace their own feelings and connect with the source element and spirituality

I also enjoy daily housekeeping tasks such as cooking, caring for plants or helping with harvests (was working in the canna industries for some years, too), caring for animals or spend time watching kids and play with them

Jaciara was a great volunteer - although she was only here for a short time, she really felt like part of our community and was really helpful around the house. From her brilliant creative skills working on our blackboard and macrame projects, to her foraging to her delicious cooking she was a great addition to the house. Best of luck on the rest… read more

The workaway experience with Jaciara was positive, we managed to have fun and work in the garden at the same time, despite a day or two of rain, and we experienced the transition from winter to spring together in a very enjoyable way!
We met in Florence and I took Jaciara all the way to Gavorrano, comfortably by car. From the beginning, music,… read more especially reggae, brought us very close together, so it was nice to spend the evenings in front of the fire listening to good music. Then from the second day on we started working in the garden, doing various tasks but especially in the area where I built a small wooden house and where, with Jaciara's help, I also built a beautiful wooden pergola in the past few days, to create a relaxing area outside my house and terrace.
Jaciara helped me with many tasks: first of all, collecting stones and paving the path to the wooden house and the pergola. Then we also created terracing along the main path so that the wild boars would no longer move the stones. Then we put bamboo on a canopy in the terrace, and it turned out very well. And then, after a few days of working together, we started putting up the wooden pergola, and fortunately we managed to put it up almost completely the night before Jaciara left. In short, it was fun from start to finish, when I accompanied her to the station for departure!
So this workaway experience with Jaciara went very well, and I highly recommend this girl from Berlin for anyone looking for the help of a motivated and friendly person. From the beginning everything went very well, we met in Florence because I was visiting my family who live in Florence, so I showed Jaciara my parents' house and offered her some water and then we drove together to Gavorrano, where we arrived about two and a half hours later. I really appreciated that Jaciara helped with the expenses of the journey from Florence to Gavorrano.
Then when we arrived we had dinner and a quiet talk in front of the fire. The next day we started work straight away, and it was wonderful!
At work, the good Jaciara has been very zealous in helping me create a new path and an area that I would like to make an outdoor relaxation area.
She worked with great energy and together we created a kind of terracing, as well as continued the creation of a path that I had already started with other workawayers.
Jaciara also helped me create simple barriers with branches, and helped me a lot with cutting branches, so I recommend young Jaciara to anyone looking for good help with gardening and helping out enthusiastically!
Finally, the workaway experience with Jaciara was really good, so I highly recommend this girl from Germany, because she is a very resourceful and determined girl, capable of getting busy and learning quickly. For what it's worth, I give a very positive opinion of Jaciara, because she helped me a lot to arrange the branches in the garden, after pruning, and also to keep the garden and the path clean: in short I highly recommend the good Jaciara for anyone who is looking for a workawayer able to help in outdoor tasks as well as at home, in a cheerful and spontaneous way. So this workaway collaboration experience with Jaciara was simply perfect and amazing, because she really is an incredible and willing person.
Starting from the very beginning, she was punctual and respectful of the house from the very beginning, and above all we had a great dialogue from the very beginning, also with many passions in common including music, good food (especially my home made pasta with zucchine!) and of course nature, which Jaciara enjoyed very much both in my plot and from my terrace, which filled me with joy.
But besides having a lot of fun together, we also worked quite hard, despite the weather, and Jaciara was very good, because even though she's a young girl she's really very determined and diligent in her work, and never complains. She helped me clear the path to the house, and she helped me gather wood for the winter, to make the fire, and she was really good and always worked really hard, and then she also quickly has removed all the weeds from the path. In addition to this, she helped me clear a large area of my land, where I would like to make a chill-out zone, and she also cut wood with shears so that I could use it to reinforce the fence on my land, in a totally eco-friendly way. Lastly, she was very supportive all the time.
In short, an irreplaceable help and a tireless companion throughout her stay! The highlight was being able to enjoy the sunset every day together, when around six o'clock we stopped working in the garden and could enjoy the colours of nature and the beautiful view of the sea from my terrace among the olive trees. She was very good and it was very nice to enjoy so many delicious dinners together, always listening to lots of music together!
We enjoyed making appetisers, and because we worked a lot, we always arrived hungry at dinner and could enjoy this exquisite time, eating typical Italian dinners, especially with very good pasta dishes and some white wine.
To sum up, it was an exclusively positive experience, both as a workawayer but also as a new friendship. In fact, we got on very well, which I was very pleased, so we also had the chance to enjoy our friendship and to explore together the beauty of this region and the city of Florence, my birthplace.
And last but not least, she kept me company and it was really wonderful to be able to share a day as friends and also a bit of a tourist in the town of Gavorrano with Jaciara, who is a pleasant person with whom I never tire of talking and with whom you can share many special experiences.
It's really a pleasure for me to be able to introduce this beautiful area to workawayers from various parts of the world, and with Jaciara in particular I was always really at ease, both as a workaway collaboration and as a sincere friendship! Above all expectations, truly a positive experience.
So I highly recommend Jaciara as a workawayer, to anyone who might be interested in her collaboration, because she really is a great girl and a tireless and sensitive worker, with an endless love for nature and animals. A great help to me, and a wonderful person, who loves nature with all her heart.
Esteemed Jaciara, I hope you will come back soon to visit and help me here on the farm, so you can see how the work is progressing here, especially in the soil! Thank you again for everything and I look forward to seeing you soon!
With great esteem and many fond memories :)
One Love!
Rasta Love:)
