  Descrição

  =================
  We are looking for a longer term volunteer, that has own initiative, loves cooking and doing some farm work.
  Basic ability of speaking and understanding Spanish is a must.
  ≈================
  
  For our beautiful project in the green mountains in Colombia, we always need some extra help in the ecohotel / retreat centre, and in our farm. We are always very glad with volunteers that love cooking, also vegan and vegetarian meals. We love to learn and exchange new recipies.
  
  This magical place in the mountains above the clouds, offers a perfect place for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual journey through connection to self and nature, or just to find the peace and stillness away from the busy world, while having the comfort of a hot shower and fully equipped outdoor kitchen with breath-taking view, from the Camping Zone and the Eco-Hotel.
  
  Me, Heidi, as a single mother I made a conscious decision to start building up my life project here and that of my children, in the green mountains, surrounded by rivers, banana palm trees, forests, birds and hiking trails. I am from the Netherlands and I am living here in nature with my two Colombian - Dutch children, whilst being part of the eco-community around me, consisting of Colombian and foreign inhabitants that are implementing ecological and spiritual practices, based on ancestral and permaculture values and customs.
  
  Together with Carolina and her daughter, Colombian, who came through workaway and have now been included in my heart and team, we are managing the ecohotel and developing the retreat centre, focusing on personal and collective healing and well-being, in the mountains of the municipality of Cocorná, department of Antioquia, in Colombia.
  
  Our project is a perfect place for camping, or staying in the hotel, also with children as they have ample space to play and many wonderful kids to connect with in our community and activities available in the mountain life.
  
  We highly value that you have experience in taking care of a farm: agriculture, animal care. And that you have an eye for cleaniness. Experience in hospitality, service to guests, and cooking nice meals is highly valued as well.
  
  Loving dogs and cats, plants, flowers and locally grown food is a must and expressing own initiative and responsibility we highly value.
  
  
  * I started this project 4,5 years ago. Some years ago I was part of another project, for which we invited volunteers. Most reviews that you see are still from the previous project, also in Colombia. We welcome you now to our new project in a beautiful part of Colombia!
