Detalhes

Descrição
My name is Jamie, I am developing a food/medicine forest garden on a beautiful piece of land in the forest. I am looking for people with interest or experience in natural construction and gardening. We will be principally using the materials at hand because the land is a 30 minute walk away from the nearest road. I want to build a small guest room and tool shed, and always need help around the land. This to be a meeting place to reconnect with nature, cleanse the body and soul, and heal.
My current living space is a simple setup with an emphasis in incorporating native and wild plants in the garden as well as medicinal plants. I also have sheep and chickens for milk, eggs and meat. Located in a cozy valley, my house is very simple and has a wood stove, solar panel. It was constructed principally with surrounding materials including clay and wood. 15 minutes near the village of Fazenda das Lajes, a foot path through the forest, beautiful and isolated.
A great place for getting closer to earth and to yourself.

Better late than never…back to babylon, I have been distracted quite a bit the last two months, but now I finally get around to write this feedback…
I stayed with jamie through the whole month of january. The first days were stormy, but then for the rest of the time the weather was very pleasant, which was especially valueable because I was… read more camping on jamies land. Jamies spot in the jungle is superb… wild, remote and I spent alot of time just lying in the tent, listening to the sound of the river. i went exploring the area around quite a bit, and it is great, but rough, not a place for long lazy walks, especially in winter, when everything is wet.
I enjoyed daily live with jamie. I would get up around 9 or 10, have some coffee, most of the time with another volunteer, or alone, or with jamie, if she wasn’t still away in the village, bringing her daughter to daycare. Then we would start some work in the garden, mostly cutting down invasive plants and preparing land for spring. It felt good to move the body in the fresh air, and it was never too much. Jamie is not bossy at all, flexible and open to and capable of clear communication. I learned alot about natural farming and edible and medicinal plants. The variety of plants that you can grow here is amazing!
There was plenty of time left for chilling together in the house, or in the garden, cooking, eating, drinking chai, talking, making music, sometimes deep conversations... her two-year-old daughter always in the middle of it, demanding her good share of moms attention. Putting the kid to bed ended the days rather early, leaving time for personal retreat in the tent in the darkness of the wintertime, listening to the sound of the river.
Not only did i get to know jamie, her daughter and meet interesting other volunteers at her place, but also jamie introduced me to the islands foreign community. There is always something going on, even in the winter, and this place is not so lonely as you might first think. But as a volunteer independence is limited, by foot it is easy to reach the village of lomba, but to go further can be tricky without a car, although hitchhiking seems to work quite well on the island.
Jamies place is a place to reconnect with nature and yourself, but also about meeting people. Of course I tried to contribute my share, but mostly I felt welcome and valued as a person, that I could very much be as I am, making this maybe my best workaway- experience so far. So thank you jamie!

Ryan was extremely helpful and respectful. His broad skill base proved useful in many different ways, (ie, candle dipping, net-making, chainsaw carving and tree felling, among others) and we were lucky to have him, it was a great learning experience.

I had a lovely time at Jamie's homestead, I really enjoyed learning about farming in a subtropical climate (something totally new to me) and felt my help was appreciated. it was a nice mix of hard and easy work, but never stressful. I enjoyed good conversation and sharing music in the evenings. Jamie communicates clearly, and was always open to… read more

Robert did great considering the heavy rains and rough starting conditions, a good sport indeed. He took initiative and foresaw many tasks that needed to be done. The place is definitely in better condition, both inside and out, than before he came. Easy going, patient, adaptive. Lucky to have had Robert as a workawayer!

My stay at Jamie's place was just what i needed. The place itself is great if you are comfortable with the rustic and minimalist life style but the fire and wood stove for a bath provide some needed comfort. the setting is really beautiful and you feel like you could be deep within a forest however its only 15 min walk to the road. its a place to… read more
