Descripción
We are creating a yoga centre/ecohealing retreat in the heart of the Dominican rainforest. The 2017 hurricane season set us back by destroying our newly built yogashala. We have over 3 acres of land surrounded by forest reserve and bordered by a small river. The project is off the grid and we hope to be completely self sufficient by growing our own fruits and vegetables. Primarily we are looking for carpenters/natural builders to rebuild the yogashala and some new accommodation. We have a stock of beautiful hardwoods from the surrounding forest of trees that fell during the hurricane. We also need help in the garden. We focus on living simply and in harmony with the nature.

Ayuda
We are primarily looking for carpenter/natural builders. We have many repairs after the passing of hurricane Maria. The main building which is a small roundhouse has a reciprocal roof which needs repairing. We also need to totally rebuild the yogashala and create some "handmade" organic shelters as accomodation.The wood for construction is sourced from the surrounding forest. We hope to limit our use of concrete and build with the abundance of natural materials we have around us.

Alojamiento
Accomodation will be in a wooden roundhouse. Food will be mostly vegetarian. We grow our vegetables in our garden and have chickens providing us with fresh eggs. Water is pristine and pure from the river. The surrounding area produces mainly dasheen, citrus, banana, plantain, coffee and cacao.
Algo más...
Not far from the centre is the beautiful Emerald pool, and Spannys waterfall. Dominica is blessed with an abundance of rivers and waterfalls, and has hiking trails all over the island. Dominica is also famous for whale watching and free diving. If you like living close to nature then this is perfect. Not ideal for somebody who likes all their creature comforts and a fridge! This is roots style. We are a married couple with our two young children.

We enjoyed cooking the very fresh vegetables from the garden on an open flamme, sleeping in a tent and bathing in the river which is running along their garden.

Emma and her family are really nice and made me feel comfortable. I enjoyed sleeping in the tent, the healthy food and the life in pure nature!
Isolated, 40 minutes walk from the main road, you will have the chance to experience pure nature life- living in tent, shower in cristal clear river, cooking on wood fire & eating local garden food.
However, we were not very lucky with the weather, we… read more
