One of the project she did was to set up a stone path for the… read more

My stay at Shahira was very enriching. I had the opportunity to know this caring and generous person who is showing very open-minded about my lifestyle and my person. Not to mention her respect for the planet. She tries to do everything she can to make her place eco-friendly.

My experience with Marieve was excellent. I felt confortable and she was easy to trust right away as we had a few skype sessions of 1 hrs-1hre 30 before her arrival. She is very responsable, easy going and easy to live with.
So I recommend highly to share your time, your space and your home with Marieve. She will definitively enrich each… read more

It was such a good experience staying here up in the mountains surrounded by wonderful nature!
Being off the grid it means living with the sun and taking time for exploring the area, meditating, reading, sharing stories and cooking fresh and healthy. Oh, I really enjoyed her smoothies, our banana creations and the cayenne pepper on top!

That was the shortest unexpected stay and experience that i had with a volunteer. David was supposed to be here for a week but because of David s circumstances it was only a night. Only a night but David was really open to know as much as he can about permaculture, meditation, food...We had diversified conversation and he was willing to get up… read more

Staying at Shahira was wonderful experience...
She accepted my request eventhough I was quite last minute. Despite the fact that I don't have any special skill related to permaculture (I'm a newbie) and that I could only stay 4 days she did her best to help me find the kind of work that could suit me. I helped with landscaping (cutting trees,… read more
