Descripción
I have 2 hectares in the mountains next to Bogotá, which are transformed into an ecological and "frequency" project in order to help people who want to visit the mountains or want to rent for seminars, workshops or other activities of inspiration and change. The project is to make a small contribution to the peace process in Colombia and the world by inspiring people with alternative ideas, creativity and especially: energy for healing. Our project es the only place in the world where the frequencies of nature are improved and used to influence consciously in human beings. The mountain has a plateau on which we built a green house and it has different ecosystems full of highland plants, woods, brooks and ponds with a wonderful panoramic view of the valleys. The different ecosystems are to be converted into various natural scenarios like wild, landscaped gardens with works of art, integrated ecological productions and other native plants. Animals will be gradually integrated into these areas. We need every helping hand to continue to transform this growing paradise.
Please read the part of more details. Only apply when you are really interested to learn and to give.
We are not a timewindow filling idea for cheap traveling.
Ich habe 2 Hektar in den Bergen neben Bogotá, die in ein künstlerisch-ökologisches Projekt verwandelt werden, um Menschen, die den Berg besuchen wollen, oder für Seminare, workshops oder andere Aktivitäten mieten wollen, zu Inspiration und Veränderung zu verhelfen. Das Projekt soll einen kleinen Beitrag zum Friedensprozess in Kolumbien leisten, indem es Menschen andere Ideen, Kreativität und Energien vermittelt. Der Berg hat ein Plateau mit wundervollen Rundblick über die Täler, auf dem wir ein Glashaus errichtet haben, verschiedene Ökosysteme, zwischen Hochlandpflanzen, Naturwald, Bach und Teichen. Die verschiedenen Ökosysteme sollen in verschiedene Naturszenarien umgewandelt werden, zwischen Wildbewachsung, angelegten Gärten mit Kunstwerken, und integrierten ökologischen Produktionen mit Wildpflanzen wie Andenbeere, und andere einheimische Pflanzen. Dazu sollen nach und nach Tiere integriert werden. Wir brauchen jede helfende Hand, die aus dem bisher herrschenden Anfängen ein Paradies verwandelt.
Bitte lies auch die weiteren Details.
Wir akzeptieren nur Leute, die wirklich Interesse und Lust haben, in diesem Projekt zu lernen und beizutragen. Wir sind keine Zeitfensterfüllidee zum billigen Reisen. -

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
The help will be done together, sometimes with myself, sometimes with a local worker. If you have enough spanish skills to have basic conversations, you will have a fantastic opportunity to learn a lot about the local culture, practice Spanish with native speakers and know neighbours. If you do not know spanish, and if you are not a independent and open minded person, it will be quite difficult for you here.
Die Arbeit wird zusammen mit mir, manchmal oder mit einem einheimischen Arbeiter erledigt. Wenn genug Spanischkenntnisse bestehen, um grundlegene Gespräche zu meistern , kann viel über die einheimische Kultur und Bevölkerung gelernt und Spanisch praktiziert und nette Nachbarn kennengelernt werden. Ohne Spanischkenntnisse, Unabhängigkeit und Proaktivität ist es schwierig bei uns. -

The help is versatile. Work options include building garden walls and stairs, creating and maintaining the gardens themselves, the development of small eco projects, minor construction projects and marketing. All of this is to be done with the involvement of local people with whom we want to create a network.
We are searching for interested, active and uncomplicated people, regardless of age, with the desire to really work and exchange creative ideas. Innovative contributions are always welcome.
We also expect responsibility in regards to the socio-cultural rules and safeguards of Colombia, which means that we ask that you follow our guidance on behavior measures. The same to our house habits. We appreciate a lot that you observe and integrate yourself.
Die Arbeit ist vielseitig, zwischen Gartenmauer- Treppenkonstruktionen, Anlegen von Gärten und von Kulturen und der Entwicklung von kleinen Ökoprojekten, die Primarmaterialien in weiterverarbeitende Produkte verwandelt, bis hin zur Vermarktung, unter Einbezug von Einheimischen, die wir langsam suchen und in ein Netzwerk integrieren wollen.
Wir brauchen interessierte, aktive und unkomplizierte lustige Menschen, egal welchen Alters, die wirkliche Lust am Arbeiten, an kreativen Ideen und Austausch haben. Innovative Beitráge sind immer herzlich willkommen.
Gleichzeitig erwarten wir Verantwortung mit den sozio-kulturellen Regeln und Sicherheitsvorkehrungen in Kolumbien, das heisst, dass wir darum bitten, unsere Orientierungen zu Verhaltensvorkehrungen zu befolgen. Ebenso unser häuslichen Gewohnheiten, die zu beobachen und zu integrieren sind. -

Alojamiento
Room and board at my house, in a typical very nice farmer house in the region. The house is situated on a plot near to where you will work (15 minutes walk). The distance to Bogotá is not far, with only 35 minutes by bus to the city.

We are quite independent here and apreciate family atmosphere where we all help together at home.
Also, for our project you need the desire to learn about nature, about what means a conscious lifestil and bring your own skills into. We have the spirit of exchange and respectfull living together.

Smoking and any other drug consume is not possible at our house, neather at the surroundings, neither coming back from a party trip in Bogotá or other activities with drugs involved. We put these restrictions because we had a lot of bad experiences in the past with that. -

James is a kind of person you get surprised permanently. He assume all kind of work who is needed to be done and always maintain a good humor. We all loved his help, his independent personality, his morning drums and afternoon flute. If you need some changes, he does them inmediatly. He is really easy going, a good worker, open minded, looks for

Coming to Colombia for the first time Rita's was the best place for me to land. She felt more like a mom then a host and made sure I felt comfortable during my stay and even took care of me when I was sick.
Working with the project was great as well. I learned how to make stairs with recycled wine bottles while working with locals and practices … read more

Graham and Keller arrived together tree months ago and when they left yesterday it felt so sad. Sharing together a lot of time felt like family. We had so much fun, laughs, good conversations and successes on work.

There are many workaway hosts that I haven't met yet but I still feel very confident saying Rita is one of the best out there. She never felt more like a boss than a friend and she gained my respect almost immediately. I could go on and on about how great her project goals are and how it was extremely fun working out in nature with native

We could not have asked for a better first experience with workaway. Rita is a welcoming, generous and honest host. It was an honor to be a part of Rita's project. The work is incredibly gratifying. Rita is clear in her vision when assigning projects, and she leaves room for your own creativity. Not to mention, the work is always rewarded with

Da mesma forma, Mônica, Maria, Julian, Edilberto e Raul são todos muito simpáticos, prestativos e divertidos. Íamos ficar uma semana, passamos para duas e não tínhamos vontade de ir
