Program Details
I prefer to host at least two people, but one is okay too. I spend during the day time hours on building and construction projects to expand the eco-retreat. We help out together in the garden but I also expect for volunteers to be able to complete tasks independently. We eat together but evenings are private, since I have a lot of work to do online (Keeping up Socials, Bookings, Advertising, and some other IT programmes I work on for myself). I have superb WIFI so you may and can also work on your own projects.
Activities & Shift
I wake up early and use daytime hours to work outside. I also need to finish quit a lot of construction projects. It's best if you help out during the day. I always have a lunch (usually pasta as I will burn the calories in the afternoon). You can choose which days to contribute and how the spread the load. I do hope to find people who are capable of finishing tasks themselves.
Rules
Few rules here. Just make sure you take part in lunch and dinner so we can exchange ideas and talk about life and what we do here.
