The experience

This is not your typical volunteer experience; our educational approach will allow volunteers to participate in four workshops on permaculture and the holistic lifestyle that defines our project. Two workshops will focus on key areas of permaculture, and two will cover in-depth knowledge of holistic practices. It is very important to us that volunteers have an enjoyable stay in nature but also take away meaningful knowledge.
