Description

Namaste!
My name is Chandran,
I am an adventurous, enthusiastic, open minded and friendly soul who is keen to explore and learn. I have been travelling since 2014 and it has led me to some beautiful places around the world and opened me up to a world of possibilities which I never imagined existed. It has ultimately led me starting my own conscious, spiritual, self-sustainable, permaculture based co-living community in my hometown in India in 2015 and I have been hosting workawayers, volunteers, couchsurfers from around the world who have contributed a great deal to the community as well as my personal growth.

I have moved to Spain in 2017 to start an intentional community with a group of Spanish friends and we named in "La Garrofera" and is located in Sella, Valencia district where we also accept volunteers and conduct workshops on a paid basis. I keep shuffling between Europe and India taking care of both the communities.

I often take time out of my schedule to travel and experience new things. I see workaway as a great platform to exchange skills, make connections with like-minded people, see the world and also contribute towards the society and mother Earth.

Over the last 6 years I have been living a very conscious life based on a vegetarian/vegan diet, practicing meditation, living in-tune with nature, and living a sattvic/dharmic life. I am very much into permaculture and have completed two PDC courses. I am also a licensed Ayurvedic massage therapist and have been active for the last 6 years. I am also very much into natural healing. I collect herbs and make oils from nature like Roots, flowers, leaves of plants. I am looking to learn new forms of massage as well as natural healing like Reiki and crystal healing. Sound and music theraphy is also which I want to learn.
