    Description

    We are Roy and Mia, we live in the beautiful green Heart of Galicia. We have a wonderful place around the corner from a village, surrounded by nature. We live here as self-sufficient as we can and in accordance with the principles of Permaculture. We are living very basic. We have some animals. (not inside) We are looking for enthusiastic and physically strong people, who would like to help.
    We like people who have an active attitude, who are in good shape and who are interested in our project. We have several skills, Roy is a draftsman and builder, bricklayer, plasterer, plumber and electrician for house installations. Mia is very creative in her thinking and acting, she has done various holistic skills and education. She loves to work with her hands, or through her hands.
    (Gardener, nurse, "coupeuse", "costumiere", theater, hairdresser, holistic training ect.) We followed various healing training / courses and we are both firewalk instructors. We have followed the one year permaculture training in Holland in 2009.
    We have a lot of creative ideas, especially the execution of it!
    The chores we have are physical.

    Welcome in a world of Inner Freedom, Peace, Self responsibility and beautiful new experiences of life!

    We are also looking for housesitters.
    From about mid-December to about mid-January. If you are interested, contact us!
