The Experience
Join us on a construction project using natural building techniques (adobe bricks, wattle & daub, cob, etc), reclaimed materials (glass bottles) and a green roof. You’ll help prepare the mud mix, make adobe bricks, build and plaster walls, make bottle bricks, apply natural paints and help install the layers of the roof. Experience is helpful but not necessary. We ask for a 2-week minimum commitment, but a commitment of a month or more is ideal.

We had the most amazing two weeks at the eco village and were sad to leave. Tom and Om have built a wonderful community that welcomed us warmly and introduced us to permaculture and sustainable living practices. The daily activities were diverse and fun especially working alongside other international volunteers and also local villagers. We plan to come back in the future to see how the eco village has changed, because there's many things in the pipeline!

I have a really sweet time at the eco village :) Two small things- I wasn't able to spend much time in the garden because our focus was building a new school, and the yoga teacher was gone so there were not yoga classes every day. If these two things are really important to you I would just check in beforehand. BUT that being said the eco village is a beautiful place with fun, homey energy. And I really really enjoyed my time there. It's special to find a place like this that is so integrated into its local community. I felt seen, heard, and at peace here. And I'll really miss it!
