Program Details

Biovilla is a non-profit cooperative that follows the values of sustainability, mutual care, vegetarian/vegan food and the curiosity to learn, create and move together.
Biovilla relies on visits and retreats for its sustainability. Therefore, we need your support to maintain the space – preparing it to welcome travelers and participants of different events, taking care of the garden and carrying out works such as small repairs or constructions.
Activities & Shift
● Take care of the exterior space (garden, agroforestry)
● Maintenance of the vegetable garden
● Weeding the area
● Water the plants
● Support in planting different types of plants
● Construction works (for example: assisting in building wooden fences, wooden structures; transportation and movement of materials for this work, etc.)
● Small repairs
At Biovilla we offer shared spaces during your stay, so that community living is more fluid.
Availability to work with rotating schedules so that volunteers have time to explore the beaches, go hiking and our pool; we will offer 3 days of rest and 4 days of work (6 hours per day).
Rules
Biovilla follows a vegan/vegetarian diet. Meat and fish cannot be consumed.
We place a lot of value on respect and care for the space and for all beings.
We emphasize mindful water usage for greater sustainability of the resources we have.
