The experience

I need help with the construction of the Oroboros house.
The activities include constructing with different earth techniques (adobe, wattle and daub, cob), finishing (plaster and painting), final earth floor, built-in furniture, lighting and plumbing. The activities will have my supervision and support. In addition to the work itself, there are always tasks of organizing materials, maintaining the spaces, small crops, gardening, cooking, cleaning, and helping to create harmony.

Program Details

First of all, we expect wordpackers who are available for community living, in harmony with the environment and respectful coexistence with others, open to the simplicity of the offered accommodation. Secondly, we would like people who engage in the activities with enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment.
From my side, I will be available to provide support and assist with whatever you need for a good stay, both regarding the accommodation and the commitment to teach in detail the bioconstruction techniques we will work on.
The accommodation is camping. I have two tents available for loan, but it's a good idea to confirm whether they are available or not at the moment.


Activities & Shift

I expect a 5-hour daily work commitment.
