This is a very special place. I am so grateful, and at the same time overwhelmed, to have this patch of paradise to care for and share. I need help clearing the abandoned land of brambles. A strong enthusiastic team really. In return there's the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and off grid living, to learn skills and deepen your awareness and practice of concious care of our precious Mother Earth
If you’d seriously like and intend to help, you’re very welcome.

The local villagers are warm hearted welcoming folk and my friends, so you can meet them and enjoy and learn from their agricultural, cultural, language roots, much of which they still live and honor. I also love to practice languages, and you can learn from the land through work experience and from skills that I offer - earth care, sustainable living, growing food organically, wild food, preserving, clay render, natural paint.....
Projects I'm particularly grateful for help with right now are
Clearing ground of brambles
Felling burnt mostly olive trees, cutting, carrying, stacking for firewood
