Live amongst free roaming rescue animals near Bolonia and Tarifa, Spain

  Descrição

  Namaste everyone - thank you for reading us! First of all, please DO understand:
  If you are looking for comfortable private rooms and food served ready on the table, PLEASE move on, plenty of projects offer just that!
  
  Ours is a rough place of great natural beauty. Our commitment is to offer you with all beings who live here the opportunity to simply be your Self. Rather than imposing established rhythms, schedules or chores onto you, you will be invited to find out WHO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE, and from there, what you want to do at and for this place. Rather than being "looked after", the finca invites us to tackle our most basic fears - all fear comes from need - teaching us to "do without", a challenge that can be fulfilling and liberating at the same time.
  On the finca we get the chance to take full responsibility for our stay, in fact, take back the responsibility for our own lives, thus getting deeply involved in changing the world, BEING THE CHANGE, starting from the inside, our own innermost Self.
  Starting to learn skills that we need for living in nature as sustainable, unique, individual beings infinitely different from each other, yet forming a sustainable community of all living creatures on earth.
  Stepping out from a system that destroys itself and the future of our children and grandchildren. That keeps people passive and hypnotized in their comfortable entertained lives, afraid of being responsible, self reliant, spontaneous, expressive, alive.
  Stepping out in this way can be seen as a silent and peaceful revolution.
  
  PLEASE READ OUR WHOLE PROFILE CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING US!
  
  Also, please be totally true and straightforward when you apply. Be aware that in this simple, natural place all tricks and strategies you might use to succeed in life will eventually collapse, while openly communicated "weaknesses", health or addiction issues or doubts might well fit in with who we are... In other words: Don't strive to appear "perfect" - just express your Self with sincerity. DON'T LIE! ;-)
  
  The farm has 6.5ha, half forest of wild olive and mastix trees, half pasture for our horses and ponies. There are the ruins of the old cottages of natural stones, forming our "open air temple", an old ex-vegetable garden that hasn't been worked for fifty years for lack of water- around 5000 sqm, surrounded by natural stone walls - ideal to pitch your tent - and a terrace of a few fruit trees (fig, orange and pomme granate).
  
  The finca lies hidden between the virgin beach of Bolonia and the surfer's 'capital' Tarifa.
  
  The main purpose of finca and its dwellings is to home the animals who roam here freely, most of them being rescues. Apart from the horses and ponies there are cats, dogs, and sometimes rescue turtles. The last llama boy took his leave - old age - last summer, so, there are no more llamas... :-(
  
  La granja es de 6.5 hectáreas, mitad pasto (ponis y caballos), mitad bosque de acebuche y lentisco. Hay un antiguo establo habitable, ruinas del anterior cortijo de piedras naturales, que forman nuestro 'templo' para encuentros, compartir comidas y meditaciónes, una cabaña de madera tropical estilo dormitorio, una huerta no labrada por falta de agua hace 70 años de unos 5000m2, amurallada de muros de piedras naturales, ideal para poner tu tienda de campaña, y un bancal de unos pocos arboles frutales (higuera,membrillo,naranja,granada).
  Está situada entre la playa virgen de Bolonia y la capital de surf, Tarifa.
  
  El propósito principal de la finca es dar hogar a los animales que circulan libremente en ella, la mayoría de ellos siendo de rescate. Aparte de los animales de pasto que son caballos y ponis - nuestra última llama falleció de viejo el verano pasado :-( - hay gatos, perros y a veces tortugas rescatadas.

  Ajuda

  We ask for 14 hours/week of work, with up to 5 days off. The volunteers pay for their own food and cook for themselves. This gives you time to teach, go on excursions, meditate, read, write, make art, or just relax on the beach... Please bring at least a month's time. Of course you are always free to leave if you don't feel comfortable and vice versa. But please only apply if you have at least one month of time at your disposal. Help is needed with the repair and maintenance of our ancient landrovers, maintenance of the house, painting, varnishing, trimming trees, making firewood, rebuilding natural dry stone walls etc. Some DIY experience in construction, carpentry, masonry, machines, car mechanics etc. welcome, but not a must!

  Pedimos 14h/semana de trabajo, con hasta 5 días libres. L@s voluntari@s pagan su propia comida y cocinan para ell@s mism@s. Esto os da tiempo para dar clases, hacer excursiones, meditar, leer, escribir, hacer arte, o simplemente relajaros en la playa...
  Por favor trae como mínimo de tiempo un mes . Desde luego estás siempre libre de marcharte si no te encuentras a gusto y vice versa. Pero por favor sólo solicites si tienes por lo menos un mes de tiempo a tu disposición.
  
  Hace falta ayuda con el mantenimiento de la casa, pintar, barnizar, podar árboles, hacer leña, reconstruir muros de piedra natural `en seco´ etc.
  
  Porfa mencionarlo si tenéis alguna experiencia en construccion, carpinteria, albanileria, máquinas, mecánica, herramientas eléctricas etc., pero no es necesario!

  Grupos de hasta tres voluntari@s comparten una cabaña de madera estilo dormitorio o la Ermita, una casita antigua de piedra natural, los dos con electricidad 220V para cargar pc, tablets y teléfonos. No hay agua corriente. Hay estufas de leña para calentar agua, hacer pizza y pan, y un water ecológico al exterior. Hay una cocina de butano de dos fuegos en la cabaña y una completa en la Ermita, donde l@s voluntari@s preparan su propia comida que pueden comprar en los mercados y supermercados y las granjas.
  
  También puedes traer tu propia tienda de campaña y ponerla en la anterior huerta de la finca.
  
  Para vivir en estos espacios "salvajes" :-) hace falta que traigas tu saco de dormir, una linterna, y tus propias cosas de aseo, toalla, champú, jabón, protección solar, repelente de insectos, jabon liquido lavavajillas, papel higiénico etc.
  
  Solo trae la cantidad de equipaje que puedes llevar 2km en un camino de tierra.

  Please also be aware that the finca is 16km away from the next health centre and that we are not prepared to attend you if you are sick and in need of medical care.

  También ten en cuenta que la finca está a 16km del próximo centro de salud, y que no está preparada para atender a personas enfermas con necesidad de cuidados médicos. Serás tú sól@ responsable de tu propia salud, y en caso de enfermedad se te atenderá profesionalmente y a tu cuenta en un hospital, por lo cual es imprescindible un seguro de salud en vigor.
  
  Fumar como el consumo de cualquier clase de drogas está prohibido en toda la finca.
  
  Mientras hay agua suficiente para las necesidades de gente y animales, no la hay para cultivar hortalizas más allá de las que necesitas para tu propio consumo.
