• Ovo-lacto-vegetarian food.

What you bring
• Commitment to involve yourself with the center, the people present and the group activities (meetings, meditations...), which help us in our balance and inner peace.
• Support to the center and our aims with your collaboration in the different areas and tasks
Our tasks:
• Ecological garden of vegetables and fruit
• Gardening and landscaping, beautification and care of the place
• Help in cooking and cleaning
• Care of our farm animals
• Maintenance of common areas
The work of volunteers consists mostly of fieldwork, taking care of gardens and orchards (weeding, which is the most laborious task in an ecological garden, planting, sowing, fixing fences, stakes and beds) and supporting the work with the animals (stable cleaning, feeding and straw).
We also expect your help in cooking tasks, and we often undertake construction and building works in which we need help, including maintenance and restoration, such as painting walls and varnishing wood.
Language: Intermediate Spanish.
Timeline: Minimum 1 month (first week on trial), but we prefer people who want to commit to a longer stay. After the first month, the option to continue will be evaluated. A stay of three months is the maximum, to also give other people the possibility to come here. At any time the central group of the community decides that the volunteer does not fit the center's needs or that the center cannot satisfy their needs, we reserve the right to shorten the agreed stay.
