The Experience

We need volunteers who know about construction and maintenance, as we want to improve the facilities. You should have skills in bioconstruction, masonry, plumbing, or electrical work (one of them). We will work 4 hours per day and then enjoy the peace of our place and the company of the animals (dogs and horses).

I had a great experience volunteering with the Center. The work is not overwhelming and there's plenty of time to yourself. The closest town is Abasto which is a 15 min bike ride. Lau and her family are amazing and made me feel at home.

My experience at the center was simply magical, which is why I repeated it. Laura, Vladimir and their magnificent family are wonderful hosts. From the first moment you feel part of the family, with generosity and a huge heart. On this second visit I achieved a much deeper immersion in the connection and relationship with the horses. It is learning to communicate with them, to listen to them, and to understand them from respect. It is a transformative experience. I also had the joy of continuing with beautiful projects such as the organic garden, adobe construction, participating in the events, super!!!

The experience was very positive and enriching. In addition to contact with horses, rural life, fauna and flora, I was able to work with bioconstruction and learn about the preparation of materials and the construction of the walls of Vlad's studio. I also repaired and installed the Starlink Wi-Fi network at Lau's father's house, renovated a salamander, laid part of the volunteers' kitchen floor in bamboo and refurbished furniture. We cleaned an entire warehouse and restarted a refrigerator. It wasn't possible to carry out everything the host had planned, but I did many things and learned a lot.

It was my first volunteering experience and I highly recommend this place 🤍 Lau and her whole family are very kind, always open to listening; the tasks are fairly simple. In the Center I could connect with myself, I also learned the personalities of the puppies, I could overcome my fear of approaching the horses, and at the end of my stay Lau gave me a session with them; it is very impactful everything that happens in that moment, you learn a lot if you connect with your heart. Her yogurts are 10/10 ✨
Thank you so much for everything!!! ✨❣️

I loved the experience, and overall, the whole thing—from the host family as well as the spaces—the animals (each with a very specific personality, haha)—created such a warm atmosphere that I felt protected, that everything would be alright, and it allowed me to simply be and listen, to be present. While the experience had its challenges and my partner and I had to keep control of the situation, really from those small difficulties you learn and test yourself. From the host I could learn simply by observing her, by listening to her, and by using her as inspiration.
