  Description

  Ciao,
  I'am Luca, a Sicilian guy from Palermo choosing to move out from the city to live/follow/create a more sustaineable life-style in a country house up on a hill. I love to take care of the place and my dream is to set it up for hosting events, workshops, projects, classes of any discipline, practice, etc... To create a space where visitors can grow up both under the physical and spiritual side. In this case to share is the key and team work the best instrument to reach our goals.
  Basically I need help for doing quite manual works and tasks (they can be very various and different), which need a little bit of skills and body control and resistance. But more then all I need someone with a very good attitude onto respect the working timing, with an active style and a positive approach (please not minimal passive and like a robot style), and that can work with passion, also using the time to learn and to improve, and with ACCURACY and PRECISION and PATIENT and CARE on doing the things properly without making damages, both to the things and onto the technical equipment we use.
  Working hours should be done in order to maximize the free time of the day, in order to let us do also something interesting and/or fun, like visiting places, events, friends, longer cooking time, fire and dances, etc etc.. Because if a volunteer spread the 5 hours along the whole day, like starting very late in the morning, then in the afternoon as well.. then there is no time left to do nothing than to eat and to go to sleep, and like this it gets very boring at one point.
  So please, contact me only if you are willing to set up and live well-balanced days in order to get the best from this experience.

  Basically I need help for doing quite manual works and task which need a little bit of skills and body resistence, but more then all I need someone with a very good attitude onto respect the working timing, with proposals and an active style (not passive like a robot style), and that can work with passion, disfruiting the time to learn and to improve and with ACCURACY and PRECISION and PATIENT and CARE on doing the things properly without making damages, both to the things and onto the technical equipment we use.
  Works in the place can be about any type of things and according to your skills. From woodworking to help with some easy basic tasks about DIY buildings, and very basic and amatorial technical tools, and about the management of the sources (water collection, wood collection for the warming up of the house).
  More over: Gardening following permaculture rules to harvest the best food, taking care of the chickens, fruit and olives trees and/or other little natural productions.

  Espace pour garer des vans

  I can host workawayers travelling with a van. It would work like this, they would keep sleeping in the van but then the house is available for showers, cooking, washing, etc etc. Important: the road is very steep uphill and a bit broken, plus there is a narrow turning point which can't be done if the van is too long. Anyway as far many van were able to park in front of my gate.
