Program Details
We are looking for people with experience in construction, bioconstruction, artistic projects on walls, murals, etc., and who have a lot of willingness and energy to roll up their sleeves. We have a 4-year-old girl, so we also welcome families with children. They should also have experience in cooking.
WE OFFER: You will have the opportunity to rest in a beautiful place, enjoy our amazing library with books in various languages on sustainability/spirituality. Once a week, we have a brief gathering to offer something like a circle of meditation with healing instruments, a shamanic bath with plants and medicinal flowers, or some other activity.
Activities & Shift
ACTIVITIES: vary according to the needs and constructions that are underway on the dates you come. Examples include: construction of niches and natural playgrounds for children (bamboo, cob, sculptural walls, earthen plasters, twigs), construction or renovation of built areas and organization of materials. Sometimes we work with a mix of conventional constructions and natural materials or sustainable techniques. Also spaces are painted, drawings, and arts/murals, among others.
TURNOS/HORÁRIOS: Work generally starts at 8 in the morning and ends at 1 p.m., from Monday to Friday. We are flexible and will discuss to find balance according to weather (rain, etc.), the works and your/our needs, making schedule changes that are appropriate and previously agreed depending on the situation that presents itself.
