Program Details

Volunteer work provides the essential support that keeps the Refuge alive, since here we host guests, events, volunteers and develop permaculture and holistic practices. This means supporting and contributing to these lodgings, experiences and projects happening with care, presence and purpose. The volunteer goes through their own journey, experiencing the strength of the collective, the power of self-knowledge and nature.

All volunteers participate in rotating through the various activities we have here in the space. This exchange of roles strengthens the sense of community and broadens personal skills.


Activities & Shift

Here we follow a pre-established routine divided into three daily shifts (morning, afternoon and night), with activities designated for each period. This organization helps us maintain the smooth functioning of the lodging and the experiences. The idea is that there is a shift and rotation of shifts and activities so that your experience is as complete as possible.

Some of the activities we carry out here include cleaning and maintenance of internal and external spaces (such as rooms, kitchen, patios, etc.), taking care of our agroforestry system (watering, weeding, pruning and spraying the plants, for example), preparing meals within our vegan cuisine, managing social media, carrying out bioconstruction activities, among many others.

Morning Shift Schedule:

07:00 to 08:00 - Space Maintenance and Coffee Preparation
08:00 to 09:00 - Break for breakfast and kitchen harmonization
09:00 to 13:00 - Organic activities that accompany the Refuge's needs


Rules

Comply with twenty-five hours per week; Respect the space's philosophy and do not bring anything of animal origin, refined sugar, or gluten; We expect respect for all beings who feel and for different ways of thinking.
