Program Details

We expect fun loving people with a good head on their shoulders who can be themselves and roll with our crazy idea to attack this project without a huge budget. Common sense and respectfull people are welcome and no complete stoners or druggies please.

At this point we prefer people that are mature, self motivated and can work without too much guidance. Our work and family life often prevents us from being able to fully guide.

People can expect us to accomodate them as best as we can with our balancing work, family life and our project. We always make it work and usually make friends.


Activities & Shift

Depends on the season. In summer we have to get cracking early as to beat the heat! We could be clearing the ruin or making adobe mud bricks. Building with cob or gardening.

Random side missions happen all the time but are always aligned with your interest and preferences (although some stuff just needs doing sometimes) :)


Rules

Some maturity is expected. Mommy doesnt work here so please help keep or make the place tidy etc :p

Please use only natural soaps and cosmetics. Our grey water goes back to the land.
