Descripción
Because of a recent leg fracture, I now need help all year round. This means working in the garden, with the olive trees, the chickens and the house.
I am located in the wonderful countryside of Crete, 25kms from Chania (as well as a few kilometers of small typical villages). I have a great view of the White Mountains of Crete just in front of the place and a very green landscape all around.
I have a mongolian yurt, a small house with kitchen , bath and toilets and a caravan for the volunteers . This is a place I have been preparing since 13 years ago and there is a lot of small things to do , to make it even better. Good hand helpers are welcomed .
For many years I have been involved in spirituality so with a group of friends we do ceremonies or meditations from time to time.
If someone wants to stay long and there is compatibility of character and ideas, he or she will be more than welcome . Because of animal abuse, I am now a vegetarian.

The olive picking was a real pleasure with Natasha. She is very motivated and conscientious. She first observes (which is rare) and then acts. She has a great knowledge of wild plants and we had very interesting conversations. Having worked on herself, she is able to get on well with everyone, which is very nice.
