Activities & Shift
Some of the tasks you can participate in are:
🌿 Seed preparation, seedling production and sowing.
🌱 Transplanting, construction of cultivation beds and preparation of compost.
🌾 Weeding, pruning and restoration of ravines.
🌳 Reforestation with native trees.
🔨 Simple carpentry and beautification of the surroundings and the volunteers' house.
Our parcel is surrounded by native forest, inside the Conservation Priority Site “El Roble”, 7 km from the road that connects Santiago with Valparaíso.
🚌 Volunteers can easily reach the Curacaví Plaza or the Los Canelos de Miraflores bus stop; from there we pick you up. We recommend NOT taking tickets on Flixbus, because this bus line does not enter the town of Curacaví nor stop at the stop near the parcel.
📅 Suggested schedule: Monday to Friday (30 hours per week, 6 hours per day).
On Friday afternoon or Saturday morning you can travel to get to know Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Isla Negra or other destinations; returning Monday morning.
If you want to stay over the weekend, we coordinate in advance (many times we have workshops on Saturdays, especially in spring and summer, and occasionally we rent the cabin). In case you stay the weekend at the parcel, on Saturday we have activities like during the week (6 hours activity), especially if there are workshops, to help in its development. Sundays are completely free.
During your stay, you will be able to learn, depending on the season of the year and the activities we are carrying out, about regenerative techniques, composting, bioconstruction, seed handling and native reforestation, in a community environment, respect and shared learning.
Rules
Our project was born from the desire to create an organic regenerative farm and Homa, a seed ark and a space for a deep reconnection with life and nature. 🌺
We believe in community life, cooperation, peace and the practice of “Ahimsa” (non-violence), inspired by Gandhi's values and Homa Therapy.
🙏 As a space of healing and harmony, we ask you to respect the following rules:
- Our diet is vegetarian and, whenever possible, organic.
- It is not allowed to consume or bring in alcohol, tobacco, drugs, meat or eggs.
- Maintain a respectful, collaborative and conscious attitude towards others and towards the environment.
🌞 Here we seek to live simply, in community, at the pace of the land and in gratitude with life.
