  Description

  Hello future guest !
  
  I am Anaïs, artist & therapist living a very simple life in the countryside, on a beautiful 7ha land, in South Portugal, in Alentejo, (between Colos and Cercal).
  
  After 4 years on the land, I have partly moved to another region for my kids to go to a better secondary school. So I am looking for 1 or 2 trustworthy conscious beings to feed the cat while I am away.
  I am living on the land every other week. So half of the time you will be on your own.
  
  Life here is totally off-grid, in the deep countryside.
  At night, there are foxes, owls and wild pigs.
  During the day with see red kites and hawks.
  
  There is a beautiful trail to walk around the land.
  30 minutes drive from the ocean (Vila Nova de Milfontes).
  
  YOU NEED a car or at least a bike as we are quite isolated (no bus).
  (there is one bike on the land)
  
  The tasks are :
  ============
  
  SUMMER (JUNE - SEPTEMBER) :
  
  - to feed the cat when I am not here
  - to water and the take care of young trees (put straw around them)
  - to cut the grass if necessary
  - to oil the wooden structures of the land
  - to help repair or upgrade the infrastructures on the land
  
  AUTUMN & WINTER :
  
  - to feed the cat when I am not here
  - to harvest figs, pears and olives, and process them.
  - to plant trees (November to January)
  - to dig pipes in the ground
  - create a food garden. If you have permaculture/syntropy knowledges, that's great !
  - to help repair or upgrade the infrastructures on the land
  
  SPRING (MARCH/APRIL) :
  
  - to feed the cat when I am not here
  - take care of the food garden.
  - to help repair or upgrade the infrastructures on the land
  
  ALL THE TIME :
  
  - to feed the cat :) and care for him
  - to help me with sorting out / tidying up things (decluttering).
  
  ====================================
  
  I am are flexi-vegan &non-smoker.
  
  - I wish to welcome an enthusiast artist, therapist or gardener.
  - Conscious of their energy outputs on the land and with the people around them.
  - You do your best to own your shadows, and to communicate your needs and boundaries.
  - You are engaged in some form of personal growth (spirituality, art, NVC, etc).
  - You have a practical mind.
  - You are respectful and connected to Nature
  - You enjoy solo time, being on their own.
  
  If you have your own van, car or at least a bike it's better for you as we are quite isolated.
  
  Happy to meet you soon !
