Program Details
Life in the countryside is introspective, calm, and quiet. It is an ideal space for those seeking to disconnect from the fast pace of the city and to live a more contemplative experience.
This experience is especially suitable for people on a journey of self-discovery, travelers who need real rest, women who travel alone, the LGBTIAQ+ community (a safe and inclusive space), artists, writers, and dog lovers who enjoy a simple life.
We receive a maximum of 2 volunteers per season, which allows for an intimate and personalized experience. In some periods you might even be on your own, enjoying the silence, nature, and the autonomy of rural life.
We live to the rhythm of natural light and the weather: we organize ourselves by day, walk in silence, and share conversations with intention. It is a country house project focused on well-being, mindful hosting, workshops, and therapies.
📍 We are in a rural area of the municipality of Florida, Biobío Region, Chile; 10 km from the nearest town and 35 km from Concepción. It is a real rural setting: there is silence, rain, mud in winter, hot days in summer (with a pool), living nature and limited public transport.
It is ideal for autonomous, responsible people who are comfortable with the deep calm of the countryside, where time is organized according to light, climate, and the care of the home and the animals.
The stay does not include meals, so each volunteer must bring and manage their own food. We are happy to assist with prior coordination and share information about local businesses and economical supermarkets in the nearby town. The exchange does include water, electricity, gas, and heating, so we ask for conscious and responsible use of these resources.
Activities & Shift
The volunteering includes 25 hours per week, organized flexibly and co-created together according to the project's needs and your own rhythms. They are generally distributed in blocks of 4 to 5 hours per day, with days off for rest or exploration. We seek commitment, autonomy, and clear communication to sustain the space through mutual care.
💚 You will collaborate in:
🐾 Care of our 4 dogs (feeding, walks, and company)
🏡 Basic indoor and outdoor organization and maintenance
🧹 Cleaning of common spaces
🌱 Support in welcoming guests and collective activities
🌿 Therapeutic accompaniment (optional): You can access a personalized space guided by the integrative psychologist who created the project, to work on a specific objective using tools such as narrative therapy, psych tarot, psychomagic, and Bach flowers.
🇨🇱 Chilean Spanish classes (optional): For international volunteers we include weekly classes aimed at improving everyday communication and facilitating cultural integration.
