The Experience

This project was born from the desire to care for the land, for people, and for the relationships between sentient beings according to the principles of permaculture. Volunteers can help improve the existing habitat by tending the vegetable garden ๐ŸŒฑ, the compost bin, building small nests, and even a dry toilet (compost toilet). Enjoy a deep connection with nature, help create a sustainable habitat, and join our ecological sanctuary! ๐Ÿƒ

I've really enjoyed my time with marina, her curiosity and passion for permaculture is both infectious & admirable. I stayed for a week along with another friend, helping out with tasks ranging from gathering leaves for mulching to planting succulents. She lives in the beautiful countryside just a few km from the beach, mountain, & nearby towns. She was very generous taking us to sight-see during our stay with her. She was also patient with our spanish/english, teaching us italian words along the way.
Gracias Marina por compartir su amor por la tierra, le deseo lo mejor ๐Ÿชฑ๐ŸŒต๐Ÿ–๐Ÿชด๐Ÿซ–๐Ÿ’›

My time spent with Marina on her property was very wholesome. She's very kind and easy to work with. Her vision for her farm is very admirable and was happily able to contribute. On days off she took us to some local events and even met some of her friends. The language barrier can be difficult at times but thankfully there are solutions to that. Nonetheless it was a fun experience helping out!

I had lots of wonderful moments at Marina's!
She welcomed me like a member of her own family! I felt really at ease at her place! I could also discover the surroundings and the people in her daily life! I really recommend spending some time there! I really advise you to spend some time there!

Really an enriching experience. What to say about Marina (host), a warm, welcoming person, always concerned about the well-being and comfort of the person she receives. She always makes an effort to make you feel at home. I learned so much from her that I would really return. A wonderful experience, a beautiful place. She teaches you to love and respect nature. And to love this beautiful country ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น from which I carry with me the best memories.
