  Description

  Urgent ***We are currently building a new Workawayer Camp and need help with installing the solar, hydro and wind systems.
  We will be building with bamboo and wood mostly and partially also cement.
  If you have the skills needed, you are welcome. We also prefer people who have already been to a permaculture farm or who have done PDC so we can practise with farm designing. We would also be glad if you have a vision of an intentional community so we can relate to each other. We prefer those who will stay a minimum of three weeks.
  
  About us:
  We are a start-up 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 improve 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 break as 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. We are so excited to welcome you and share this life here.
  
  Who and what are we looking for:
  +We are looking for individuals, couples or groups
  who have open and willing hearts to help us build this permaculture haven.
  +Those who love to stay in intentional communities and have a vision of long term staying.
  +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, healing modalities and survival skills. But a warm, kind and open heart is enough to be present here.
  +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 a native village
  +Free food (breakfast and lunch) Mondays to Fridays
  +Meditation together
  
  If you stay minimum of three weeks:
  +one free healing ceremony
  +Free Apnea fun dive
  +Certification at the end of stay
  
  Plus you will have a hands-on and learning experience in the lot, adventures in selected spots, will get to taste authentic Philippine healthy vegetarian cuisines and memories. Learn to gather your own firewood and nature foods.

  We ask help in building huts out of native materials. It would be nice also if you have a vision of living in an intentional community where each one thrives.
  We are looking for individuals with visions of a regenerative farm.
  We are particularly currently in need of help in our #slow and #gradual permaculture farm landscaping and other help in the farm would be greatly appreciated.
  We can gather firewood, forage food and learn cooking traditional Filipino dishes together.

  Hébergement

  Simple, VERY basic native hut.
  We provide a whole house with bathroom and traditional kitchen in the middle of the village. There is one large hut with two rooms in the camp and a tiny hut. 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).

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  It is not really possible for digital nomads especially doing heavy file downloads and uploads. On weekends, the internet is slow and from 5pm to 10pm, it is fluctuating. Mornings and late evenings are good connections.
