Program Details
We are a small space focused on promoting health. Everything we aim to share is wellbeing for people, a connection with oneself, with nature, and, opening up to free hosting and making the experience accessible to more people. We commit to welcoming you into an organized and clean space, a home that closely resembles the 'grandmother's house', simple and welcoming.
Activities & Shift
There will be five 4-hour work shifts, each lasting four hours, which can be in the morning or in the afternoon, depending on the hosts' needs and the volunteers. The daily activities will be: painting doors and walls, wood repairs, gardening, and planting food.
Rules
We value good coexistence and quiet after 9 PM on weekdays. We prioritize hygiene of the space. The volunteer's room is inside the main house, so it must be kept organized and clean whenever necessary. The volunteer will prepare their own meals in a collaborative kitchen outside the main house.
