  Hola y Namaste Amigos!
  Thanks for taking the time to read this! This is my 1st time using Workaway! I am so honored to you host you on my land!
  
  My name is Karuna. I moved to some land I bought in a very rural area, in February 2024, just 30 minutes south of Puerto Escondido, 45 minutes north of Mazunte, less than 10 minutes from the coast, in the state of Oaxaca, in Mexico.
  
  My vision is to gather commUNITY to help me put in the infrastructure needed and build with super adobe; walls, cistern, bio-pool, a super adobe hŌMe and Ayurvedic Healing Sanctuary on 2 different lots that are on the same block in a new neighborhood that has never been developed. I'm the only one living here currently. The land is completely off grid. It's very quiet and isolated. Sometimes, you can hear the waves crashing! At night the crickets are very loud!
  
  I am having a well dug, but that project is currently on pause until the spring. I have a water tank set up and an outdoor bathtub for your use.
  
  I have some chickens in a coop that I built. I'm slowly adding more hens to the brood.
  
  I've had a casita built! It feels great to have shelter from the sun and rain (during rainy season in October)! It's a covered space where I offer Ayurvedic healing treatments, and it has an outdoor kitchen / living space! I screened it all in so it's a bug free zone! Although I've opened part of it now that the bugs have simmered down.
  
  I've expanded the kitchen outdoors and built a traditional cob oven that woks great! Many pizza nights have been had already!
  
  The dry toilet is almost finished! The 4 posts are rooted in the earth and the platform and toilet are done. I just need to build the walls and a roof, where I plan to catch rainwater from! Hopefully, I will get the materials to finish it soon!
  
  I plan to grow an organic garden, water harvest, and use solar energy. But I need help creating this. I am looking for people with solar, building and permaculture skills. I need help with setting up a solar system, gray water irrigation system, gardening, permaculture, design, and building.
  
  The super adobe roll is being ordered soon! Very Exciting!
  
  If you have interest in camping in a cozy tent provided or bringing your RV, you are welcome to live here for free, for only a few hours of work per day in the morning and evenings, when it's most cool. The weekends are yours free!
  
  I am currently living in my RV. I am 53 years young! I'm a longtime Yoga instructor (25+ years), Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Panchakarma + Ayurvedic Bodywork Specialist, as well as an ArŌMaTherapist. I have an online business and mobile spa and apothecary here. There's a good chance you will benefit from all of this! Ha!
  
  I have Starlink internet which works when the sun powers my solar system. You are welcome to use it when it's on. I have great wifi service here but no cell phone service. WiFi hours are usually 9-4pm.
  
  I rescued some animals, a boy cat named Bunny, a Rooster, Rani and I have 2 boy dogs, Bruno and Valentino. Balam, means jaguar in Maya and he is the newest to our family. This baby kitten stumbled like a drunkard in front of my car at barely a month old on September 16th, Mexican Independence DAY!
  
  Thank you so much for considering volunteering with me!
  I look forward to meeting + hosting you!
  with love,
  Karuna
  ❤️🕉️🌿
