  Description

  At the moment, we are a 2 member family: my son Abel (13) and me, Sara, living in an old caserío in the mountains with 2 cats. I incorporated permaculture in my life 25 years ago, and apply it to whatever I do. I have 3 more children, so my life has been very education and emotional management oriented, but I also love gardening.
  The house is quite big, and was conditioned to host groups and events, but it has been abandoned for a long time. Now, I am reconditioning the different spaces to open it to the world again as a high frequency place: another spot on Earth to experiment the WE paradigm. The idea would be to generate children or adult activities: playing, learning, sharing, healing, dancing, ... or offering the space to host externally organized activities.
  The house is surrounded by a neighbor and a piece of land where brambles and different trees have established during the last years. We communicate with all these beings to find a balance between them and us: humans trying to obtain our food, and enjoy the whole lot.
  I don't like very much buying new things, try to recycle-reuse-repair instead :)

  Aide

  We need people who can use tools for DIY and building, and also with gardening.
  I like team work, and also like to monitor the jobs done in the place, so I will normally be sharing the tasks.
  The most urgent works in the house are related with the water collection system, fences, fireplace repairing, plastering and wood treatment. Outdoors jobs include slashing, prunning, planting, making seedbeds, weeding, ...
  Bigger jobs will be done by local professionals, and permaculture fellow workers, so there might be a chance to participate in working experiences with other people.
