Peaceful family sharing their home in the heart of the jungle close to Iquitos, Peru

  Descripción

  The ideal lenght of stays would be MINIMUM OF 1 MONTH, but if you are up to committing for several months, that would be the perfect scenario.
  Please understand that it takes around 2 weeks to get into the jungle rythim and get the hang of how everything works and goes around here on a day to day basis. Therefore, being here for longer would allow you to make this place your home for that time and knowing that the place is taken care of by someone who knows what they’re doing could bring peace for us too. This is why we will most likely say no to volunteers who would like to come for 1-2 weeks. For short stays, there might be some windows where we have an overlap between volunteers, or maybe a short gap that we have to fill up, so it is always worth to try and ask, but it is really the long term stays that are appreciated most.
  
  In case you are someone who would like to have a quiet and peaceful place in the Peruvian jungle for dietas, studying plant medicines or just for getting away from everything to switch off and be in nature for a while, we believe this could be a perfect choice.
  
  Groups and couples are just as welcome as individuals, but even if you come alone, you will not be alone. Alma, the sweetest little dog is in need of someone who can take care of her while we are away, which means mostly feeding. She grew up in the jungle, she surely knows her way around :). In case of planning to come by yourself, outside of the furry companion we would prefer to schedule at least one more person to stay with you in the same time, as having 2 people there makes daily life much easier (someone can stay and guard the place while the othet gors to town for shopping, etc), while still allowing to be at your own living space, focusing and working on yourself, doing dietas thanks to the 4 tambos and one big house that you can choose from.
  
  We also have a local family who often come help us with around-the-house things, and also go help out our volunteers/house sitters when we are away. We are constantly in contact with them, but you will also have their contact and they are just 30 minutes away if any help needed. !!
  
  
  
  
  
  Please be mindful and respect our necessities and only contact us after you read our profile and you feel that you can commit 100 %!!! Thank You!
  
  (By the way...We are a medicine friendly family so if you need a break from volunteering please contact us about your other options to visit/stay with us. Naturally, options other than volunteering are only available while we are here, so according to most recent plans, until July 2023.)
  
  We appreciate our calm and quiet way of life and it is important for us to find people who have the same gratitude for a simple, autonomos and tranquil way of living. We invite conscious people, whom appreciate silence, also has the ability to not just dream and talk, but to actually do what we need to do. You need to be physically and mentally stable and strong to bare the challenges that the jungle life may bring up (a huge Teacher, a Master, you will see) ;).
  Its important for us that you enjoy and benefit from your time here with mutual respect to the people who live their life here. So PLEASE only contact us if you share these principles.
  
  ***PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PROFILE VERY CAREFULLY AND REPLY WITH ALL THE REQUESTED DETAILS. ***
  
  Tell us about yourself, what skills you can bring to our HOME and which time frame you'd like to join us.
  
  Please do not send us a message asking questions that are answered in this profile. We will not accept bulk-mail applications either. Thanks for understanding!
  
  WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR AND WHAT NOT
  
  We are not a place to volunteer and hang out, but to actively co-create! We are not looking for slow hammock sloths...
  We are a family, and this is our Home and we dedicated our life to maintain this simple lifestyle and we looking for help to do that. We need you to support us and we would like you to enjoy this process.
  
  If you do not feel you are up for that, please do not apply.
  
  We cannot support volunteers that make us work more than what we already have. But if you are the right person, you will experience something magical here! ;)
  
  Due to the reasons listed above the minimum stay in our place is 4 weeks.
  Please do not contact us if you have no time for stay at least that long!
  
  PLEASE ALSO CONSIDER THAT WE ARE LIVING IN A REMOTE AREA SO IF YOU DO NOT SHOW UP IT WILL AFFECT US BIG TIME. IF YOU SAY YOU COME, WE RELY ON YOUR ARRIVAL.
  IF YOU'RE HERE AND IT TURNS OUT THAT YOU ARE NOT A MATCH YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE.
  *** (So please be honest to yourself and to us when applying)***
  
  
  We are shopping once a week at a local market, so there are limited choices. Unfortunately we can not support volunteer’s dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free, allergies etc).
  Our meals are based on vegetables, fruits, eggs and grains, dried legumes. If you need extra snacks to support your unique diet please bring with you what you need (not included in the common shopping).
  
  We are hoping for volunteers who can cook a creative meal from the limited options of the ingredients we are able to bring out here. You are welcome if you can't cook, but you will be asked to participate in the meal preparation from time to time, as cooking is a part of creation and community life here.
  
  We are having our breakfast at 8:00, then we are working 3 hours from 9.00-12.00, five days a week (ideally, but of course, during times when we don’t have any serious ongoing projects, the daily routine loosens up a bit. As long as general around the house chores are taken care of, we are okay with that;) ).
  As part of our community you also need to help with the tasks around the house, such as washing dishes, washing your clothes, cooking food, shopping, cleaning the floor and so on.
  Besides this, everybody takes care of his own tambo and the space around it. (Pulling out unwanted weeds under the house, kerping it clean, protecting it from termites etc.)
  
  To promote communal living, internet access and THE USE OF ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES is strictly limited to an hour a day. No exceptions. We really want you to unplug!
  
  We are living 3-4h from the closest city (Iquitos) so be aware to reach our place in daylight and also to have your lamp, proper shoes (rubber boots!!!) blanket or sleeping bag, repellent on you and everything what you will need to function in the Jungle.
  
  We apologize for the very specific details on what we are looking for and what not, but based on our previous experience we need to be 100% sure our volunteers can fit in and support this energy what we created in our life.
  
  We need you to be AUTONOMOUS, ENTHUSIASTIC and SELF-MOTIVATED, working here is not a chore. Work is a creation and a form of meditation. We would like to invite people who see it as a way to support our way of living in the Jungle.
  
  When the work is done there is time to relax, share knowledge and experience medicine work, express ourself through different art projects (music, painting, carving wood etc.)

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We believe that the jungle itself is medicine and a teacher. There are lessons everyday about communication, humbleness, compassion and living together. It is a gift to live here and experience the deepness of the jungle, being as close to it, as possible. We would like to share this space that we created, so others can have an opportunity to experience this medicine themselves.

  We have one big house (6x8m), our living house with kitchen and home of the dog. Furthermore we have 3 smaller jungle huts for 1 or 2 persons. One of those huts will be for you. All the houses are protected with mosquito net against the small visitors and for a beautiful outside feeling to watch the stars at night.
