We’re looking for easygoing, proactive people with good energy and attention to detail. Volunteers help 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with flexibility in how those days are arranged. Experience with natural building is a plus but not required.
We offer a relaxed home environment in a beautiful rural setting surrounded by nature, accommodation (private room for couples or shared room with one other volunteer if there's one), and three main vegetarian meals. We appreciate people who are social but also comfortable creating their own rhythm and don't need much attention.
You’ll join us in the final stages of finishing our mud and bamboo home, helping with earthen plaster repairs and natural clay wall painting and polishing. This is satisfying, hands-on natural building work with a focus on detail, creativity, and learning traditional building techniques.
You don’t need any prior experience, as long as you’re proactive and eager to learn how to work with natural materials.
If you have carpentry or general handyman skills, you’re also more than welcome to help with other small projects around the farm.
We keep things very relaxed and simple, and mainly ask for mutual respect and good communication.
Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated. Beyond that, common sense, kindness, and respect for the land and each other are the main rules here.
