The experience

On once-barren land, we've planted over 800 trees & created a small guest retreat. Help maintain the property with handiwork such as carpentry, weeding, mulching, & making stone paths, if you have the skills. You'll use an outdoor kitchen, maintain the yoga shala, & bathrooms. We welcome self-sufficient volunteers who are given a list of tasks & will fulfill them. Quiet yet close to Fuseta village, with train & bus.

Program Details

We expect self-sufficient, responsible, low-key people who want a quiet place where they can contribute their skills and labor for 5 hours per day in return for living on a beautiful farm with a natural swimming pool. We provide a private room, an outdoor bathroom & a hot shower, & an outdoor kitchen, & bicycles. We don't provide meals. We will set tasks and expect them to be completed.


Activities & Shift

We start in the morning by 9 am with a list of tasks. You will cook your own meals and shop for your own supplies. We share what we grow.


Rules

We don't permit smoking or the use of drugs on the farm. We respect the environment and each other. We operate on a level of trust and understanding within a spirit of generosity. We expect a good and willing attitude. For us to work with you, we all need to align.
