Activities i am interested in:

Interested in community living, located in Spain

Description

I'm currently making small steps towards a vision of community living. Some of this steps include volunteering in different projects such as ecovillages, but also learning about different tools that can be useful for community living such as nonviolent communication, systems of governance, conflict resolution, ecofeminism, and also skills such as cooking for large groups of people, preserving food, woodworking, gardening, animal care, and building renovation works.

I look forward to keep meeting projects and people to have a more clear understanding of how I want to live, keep learning about the things necessary to live in such way, and do so while I contribute to other people's quality of life and my own.
