The experience

We are a community project (currently supported by 2-3 people, with the hope of more in the future) located in the Aragonese Pre-Pyrenees, surrounded by pine and oak forest. 🌳✨

We are rebuilding a town abandoned by an old dam project that was never carried out... We have occupied it and we are bringing it back to life! 💪🏽🏘️

We don't yet have a vegetable garden, but you will learn a lot about construction and living in a community

Program Details

🤝 How do we work?
We work in groups or as a couple, but we also value that each person has their own space and personal autonomy. 💛

🔨 Reconstruction of houses with local wood and stone
🥀 Clean and beautify the village
🌱 Plant trees and take care of the forest
🪵 Get ready for winter!

The daily activities depend on the weather and the moment's needs, but they may include:
🪵 Cut firewood | 🌳 Plant trees | 🪚 Sand wood | 🚜 Transport materials

🌈 What do we offer you?
🏕️ Community living
🔥 Shared fires and starry nights
🥗 Collective meals and simple living
📚 Practical learning and new ways of living together


Activities & Shift

ESTIMATED SCHEDULE (changes may occur):

7:45 - Stretches together
8:00 - We start with work!
11:00 - Break to have a bite to eat
12:00 - Second round of collective work
14:00 - Collective meal

In the afternoon we usually take a break, and we will surely keep doing things for the village. Whoever wants can continue lending a hand, and whoever cannot rest or do some trail or whatever they feel like!

21:00 - Dinner (normally more flexible)


Rules

It is also important to know that we have a drugs protocol (to limit and raise awareness about the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, coffee...) in the village.

We also operate with a protocol for aggressions, to ensure that this is a space as safe as possible from impunity for aggressions and violences of any kind (gender, racist, fat-phobic, ableist, etc.).

If you have any other questions, tell us!
