Program Details

Life in the countryside is introspective, calm, and quiet. It is an ideal space for those seeking to disconnect from the fast pace of the city and to experience a more contemplative life.

This experience is especially suitable for people in processes of self-discovery, travelers who need real rest, women who travel alone, the LGBTIAQ+ community (a safe and inclusive space), artists, writers, and dog lovers and those who enjoy simple living.

We receive a maximum of 2 volunteers per season, which allows an intimate and personalized experience. In some periods you might even be alone, enjoying the silence, nature, and the autonomy of rural life.

We live to the rhythm of natural light and weather: we organize by the day, walk in silence, and share conversations with intention. It is a country house project focused on well-being, conscious hosting, workshops, and therapies.

📍 We are in a rural sector of the commune of Florida, Biobío Region, Chile; 10 km from the nearest town and 35 km from Concepción. It is a real rural environment: there is silence, rain, mud in winter, hot days in summer (with pool), nature alive and limited public transport.

It is ideal for autonomous, responsible people who are comfortable with the deep calm of the countryside, where time is organized according to light, climate, and care of the home and animals.

The stay does not include meals, so each volunteer must bring and manage their own food. We are happy to assist with prior coordination and share data on local businesses and affordable supermarkets in the nearby town. The exchange does include water, electricity, gas, and heating, so we ask for a conscious and responsible use of these resources.


Activities & Shift

The volunteer program includes 25 hours per week, organized flexibly and co-constructed together according to the project's needs and your own rhythms. They are generally distributed in blocks of 4 to 5 hours per day, leaving days off for rest or exploration. We seek commitment, autonomy and clear communication to sustain the space from mutual care.

💚 You will collaborate in:
🐾 Care of our 4 dogs (feeding, walks and companionship)
🏡 Organization and basic interior and exterior maintenance
🧹 Cleaning of common spaces
🌱 Support in welcoming guests and collective activities

🌿 Therapeutic accompaniment (optional): You can access a personalized space guided by the integrative psychologist who created the project, to work on a specific objective using tools such as narrative therapy, psych tarot, psychomagic, and Bach flowers.

🇨🇱 Chilean Spanish classes (optional): For foreign volunteers we include weekly classes aimed at improving everyday communication and facilitating cultural integration.


Rules

This is a space of mutual care, respect and harmony with nature. To guarantee a safe and pleasant experience for everyone, we ask you to comply with the following rules:

🚫 It is not permitted to invite external people to the space without prior authorization.

🚭 Smoking inside the house and making campfires in unauthorized places is prohibited. (In the dry season the fire risk is high).

🎣 Hunting and fishing within the territory are prohibited.

📍 Sharing the exact location of the place publicly is prohibited. We safeguard this space as a safe and private environment.

🌈 Violence-free space. Discriminatory, sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist attitudes or any type of physical, psychological or symbolic aggression will not be tolerated.

🤍 Respect for coexistence.

Maintain order and cleanliness in shared spaces.

Take care of resources (water, firewood, electricity).

Respect rest hours.

🐾 Real commitment to animal care. The dogs are an essential part of the home and require presence, responsibility and affection.

🍷 Responsible consumption. Problematic consumption of alcohol or drugs that disrupts coexistence or the safety of the place is not allowed.

🌿 Autonomy and responsibility. Each volunteer is expected to meet the work, schedules and tasks agreements.

This is a space for conscious, respectful people who are committed to a life in harmony. If you resonate with these values, we’ll be happy to welcome you.
