Description
About us (Please read all thoroughly):
We are an emerging permaculture farm located on an island (Biliran Island) in the Philippines. The place is envisioned by the owners, David and Lany (German-South American and Filipina couple), during their PDC Immersion in Thailand. The sanctuary is set to continuously evolve into a regenerative farm paired with mixes of wellness activities such as freediving, yoga, meditation, sacred ceremonies, foraging courses, survival skills, organic Philippine cooking and holistic tourism.
The building of the Bamboo-Ferrocement Dome is currently on a pause because we‘re setting up the new Workawayer Camp.
Landscapewise: The area has a magnificent view of the blue ocean, islands and the towering hills and mountains. A visitor will experience waking up to the sunrise and ending the day with the sunset view. The lot has a small waterfall and is surrounded by many river channels. You just have to enjoy and use what these spots can offer example meditating at the front of the land with the view.
Who and what are we looking for:
+We are looking for couples, single males or group of 3-4 who have the curiousity, willingness and open hearts to help us build this new permaculture project.
+Midwife/Hebamme who can help Lany during this time (urgent).
+People who love cooking so we can enjoy learning Filipino cuisine together
+Those who love to stay in intentional communities and have a vision of long term staying. We prefer those who want to stick to our project for awhile.
+If you have knowledge about permaculture and organic farming, it will be a huge impact.
+We are glad if you have skills in homestead gardening, building, conscious designing, natural healing modalities and survival skills.
+Those who want to experience a laidback, simple, back-to-basics and natural lifestyles are welcome to join.
What you will get in return:
+Free stay in one of our Huts or Dormitory( depending on Occupancy)
+Free food (breakfast and lunch) Mondays to Fridays, Filipino cuisines and fushion.
+Meditation together
+High Speed Satellite Internet (Starlink)
+Coconuts all you can eat/drink( you need to learn to climb coconut trees)
+Fresh Mountain Spring Water
+Free Rental of Mask, Snorkel and Fins
+Discount on Molchanovs Wave 1 & Wave 2 Freediving Course
+Knowledge about Permaculture Design aspects
+We offer also Certifications of stay if requested
Plus you will have a hands-on and learning experience in the land, adventures in selected spots, will get to taste Philippine cuisines and memories. Learn to gather your own firewood and nature foods.
What we do not want:
+People who will use us to save for their travels or to transition to the next trip without the heart or intention of really helping a project or community
What we do want:
+People who are clean, organized with things (specially the kitchen), grounded and responsible to take care of themselves in a remote mountain setting.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
You will benefit a lifetime experience. You will learn foraging skills in the mountains and seas. You will have the chance to get to know real Philippine local life and the local's roots. We would give you learning with traditional Filipino dishes, farming, culture, freediving and spearfishing and much more.
Aide
Currently we are building the community area out of Wood and Bamboo from the Jungle.
We are also building our big Community Kitchen out of Bamboo/Ferrocement.
At the same time we are planting seedlings and preparing the gardens for rainy season.
We have a few Chickens and 1 hen just hatched a bunch of chicks so we will expand the Fence and build proper chicken houses.
So you could help us with construction, planting/gardening(watering, mulching, composting etc) and feeding our animal.
If you could help us manage our social media that would be great, we really suck at this.
We cook with firewood so we need to gather and chop our own firewood.
We cook Philippine dishes and intentionally eat mostly vegetables, but we are NOT vegetarians and don't always offer alternatives.
We spearfish sometimes, so we eat fish/seafood, too.

Hébergement
Simple, VERY basic native hut.
We provide an A-frame hut, a jackfruit treehouse, a big dormitory for 4 people, a rounded bamboo hut and spaces in the unfinished dome. There is also a big tent. We can also provide one smaller tent for you.
There are also spaces for hammocks and tents. The village still shows the basics of living. One cannot expect much convenience but anything can be acquired.
There are online shops and it is easily get delivered to Biliran. There are local markets (15 mins) and big shops in Naval town (45 mins). Atm is about 20-30 minutes away from us. We recommend downloading remitly and picking up money at Cebuana though, it's easier and faster.
Autres infos...
You can enjoy a dip in the rivers and waterfalls or explore Biliran island on your free time. You can also learn the kind of life from local Philippine province life. There are transportation options for you: renting a motorbike, taking a passenger motorbike, jeepney, bus or van.
For transportation:
The best is to take a motorbike hire which costs between 30 to 60 pesos to the nearest town, atm, market, bakeshop, parks, beaches, sights, clinic and offices. Renting a motorbike is also possible. Always don't hesitate to ask us if you need to go down from the village.
