  Descrição

  Our home in nature is located in the Serra Calderona National Park in Olocau, Spain. We are 45 minutes by car from the center of Valencia.
  
  Living at the house we have one male (Jimmy who is 30) and two females (Valentina 34 and Kamila 35).
  Jimmy speaks 4 languages fluently including French (native from Belgium), Spanish, Italian and English. He recently graduated with an honors Masters degree in Art Therapy. He also works as a social worker working with disadvantaged communities. He enjoys building with wood, ceramics, music, hiking, gardening, cooking, exploring local areas etc.
  Valentina speaks Spanish (native from Chile) and English. She is a sociologist and loves gardening and art.
  Kamila speaks Polish (native), English, Spanish some German and learning French. She is a coach and a therapist.
  
  We are looking for a maximum of two extra people to help with our plan of the next few months, building of a hobbit house in wood and renovating a natural water tank.
  
  In the future we want to turn the home into more of a cultural and wellbeing centre for the local community where people could come to be social and participate in activities. The place would offer many different kinds of activities including, fine arts, ceramics, art therapy, music, organic gardening, language exchange, yoga, meditation, and lots more.

  Ajuda

  From late August until the end of the year we are looking for help with the extension of our home and maintenance of the garden. We want to extend the current building to include a terrace and extra rooms. Most of the work will be done with techniques of bioconstruction using the clay from our own garden, straw and wood, using sustainable and natural resources collected in a responsible way.
  
  We also need help to maintain, build and grow our garden. The idea is to grow a completely organic garden which can sustain us throughout the year.
  
  Hours and type of work will depend on the temperature but typically we would work most mornings and late afternoons.
