Program Details
This project is really about sharing an experience, creating something together, and actually enjoying the process.
I’m looking for people who are down to help but also want to have fun, connect, and be part of something. The bigger vision is to slowly turn this place into a space where we can host future camps or retreats, so if that excites you and you want to be part of building it from the beginning, this could be really special.
I’d especially love people with construction or practical skills, but honestly anything you know is welcome. Gardening, cooking, yoga, meditation, journalism, art, music, sports… whatever you have and feel like sharing. I really want to create a space where we learn from each other and build a little community around that.
We’ll start with simple things like garden beds, growing food, and small DIY projects, and figure things out together as we go. I’m also learning, so it’s very much a shared process.
I’d love high-energy, open-minded people who are excited about life, experiences, and connection. LGBTQ+ friendly always, I want everyone to feel safe and fully themselves here.
I come from a big family (7 siblings 😅), so the vibe is very warm, social, and a bit chaotic in a fun way. Mornings can be slow and nice, maybe coffee together, maybe a little meditation or just chatting, and then we do things during the day. We’ll explore the island, go to the beach, hike, play sports, maybe learn surfing, or just go on random adventures, hiking, camping, I loooove all of that.
The idea is to create something real together, share skills, have fun, and fully enjoy the experience, disconnect a bit from social media and be present in the moment, not just focused on the “work” part ✨
Activities & Shift
The work really depends on the day, so it stays dynamic and not repetitive. Some days we’ll be gardening (starting from zero 🌱), planting vegetables, herbs, and learning as we go. Other days it might be DIY or small building projects, painting, organizing spaces, or just helping around the house to keep everything nice.
I’d especially love help with building projects because I’m also learning, so it’s very much something we figure out together. If you have experience, amazing, and if not, we still try and learn along the way.
We usually do around 5-6 hours a day, 5 days a week, mostly working together so it feels more fun and less like “tasks.” The rest of the time is free to relax, go to the beach, hike, surf, explore the island, or do creative things like filming, photography, or just chilling.
Rules
Honestly, nothing super strict, just good vibes and mutual respect:
Be involved and enjoy the experience, not just the tasks
Help keep the space nice without overthinking it
Be open, easygoing, and flexible
Respect everyone’s space and energy
Communicate if something feels off
That’s it really. The idea is just to create a space where everyone feels comfortable, included, and has a really nice time ✨
