Description
I love this Earth. I travel not to visit places, but to reconnect to interior and outer landscapes. I am moved by mountains and deserts, by silence and starry skies. I love to dance, to cook, to collaborate with others, to create from the heart. When you invite me into your Home, I enter with gratitude and respect. The experience you offer me I return by sharing my joy, my peace, my honest work.

I wish to practice traditional crafts and develop skills that support self-sustainability. I believe our hands are our best tools, and understanding how to grow food and how to be good stewards of the land are fundamental priorities.

More details about your skills
I have acquired diverse skills, and I'm always happy when I can put them to use. I’ve helped build an outdoor kitchen with cob, cooked meals using wood-burning stoves, assisted in distilling liquor from apples, plums, pears. My background is in art and design. Using found/recycled/available materials to solve a need inspires me. I can sew and repair things with a sewing machine. I can transform spaces with color and paint. I'm a creative cook with good knife skills. I'm proficient on a mac, and able to proofread and edit English. I'm intuitive, resourceful, and a lover of cats. I'm also interested in natural healing, herbal medicine, and in my conscious evolution.

This feedback is long overdue. Loo worked with us in the summer of 2022. She arrived in a used ambulance that she was repurposing to become her "mobile" home. Loo was easy going and a self starter with many skills. She helped us move forward with a number projects. We were so comfortable with each other that she watched our property when we needed… read more

I had a fantastic workaway with John and Rick. There were things to build, trees to plant, gardens to mulch, landscapes to tend to. I always felt I was contributing to their projects in a meaningful way as an equal, not just as a helper. I had plenty of time for myself, and loved being able to hang out in the cabin, or go exploring in the woods.… read more

We had a really nice 15 days with Loo. We both worked, we had holiday and art sanat
We would like to thank him for his pleasure and willing help in both housework, gardening and other works.
We wish her healthy, happy days.

Filiz and Mustapha are generous hosts. They enjoy sharing their philosophy and way of life with you, and they’re passionate about living with consciousness. They live in a quiet village surrounded by rolling green hills, and where the night sky shines with many stars. They've built a comfortable house and cultivated a productive vegetable garden.… read more

It was really satisfying to help Kathy with her outdoor kitchen this past spring. She entrusted me and another volunteer to lay a brick floor even though neither of us had prior experience, and gave me creative freedom to make a wall relief using cob. She’s a great cook, being able to magically put together a delicious meal with seemingly only a… read more

Loo's first week here was all about staying warm and we unexpectedly had almost a metre of snow.... then suddenly it was spring and work began.
Loo and another volunteer were responsible for making a gorgeous brick floor in our new outside kitchen and I really appreciate the commitment to making it just right.
She was a very good person to have… read more

Welcome to the compound, as Mila and Jonathan lovingly call their farm. It’s a place you’ll want to stay or escape from, depending upon how comfortable you feel being surrounded by rolling green pastures, listening to the steady stream of a running brook, living in a classic Normandie farmhouse, and having Tibetan buddhists as neighbors. For me I… read more

Loo stayed with us for some three weeks in January. She has a kind spirit and gives a lot in return for the hospitality she receives. She helped with a massive spring clean of the house and getting the garden ready for guests. Always painting in her journal she has this calm energy about her that really helped me as I was pregnant while she stayed… read more

Mama mia, Mama Maria! Maria Pia will take you into her home and show you facets of her world. She’ll introduce you to her friends and her delicious cuisine: there’s plenty of homemade bread, pasta, pizza fritta to fill the tummy after a day’s work, and superhot chili peppersauce to top it all off. Don’t lounge around too much in front of the… read more

My 2 weeks spent here were full and satisfying. We worked hard, but were well taken care of. The meals were always delicious and plentiful, and the mood convivial. Even though a month has already passed since I left, I still think about my time there. The beauty of the landscape, the warmth of the owners and staff, and the friendships I made all… read more
