Description

At this moment we charge volunteers $25 a day, mostly to cover the cost of the food and other volunteer expenses. This allows us to give the volunteers a lot of freedom, and to put efforts to teach and support them in many ways. This arrangement can change in time, but for the beginning it permits Protopia to bring in more volunteers, and at the same time, volunteers don't need to have the stress of performance.

The Experience

We are working to improve the presentation of our community and create a variety of content. No need to be an expert, nor have equipment— no performance stress—just excited to collaborate with a group while playing and learning together. The day is generally super chill—morning practice (yoga, acro, meditation), meals, capture activities, shoot weekend trips. We do natural building, permaculture, fermentation, dance and many other fun things.

Mi estadia en la comunidad fue espectacular. El lugar es magico, es un gran hogar en el medio de la selva. Las instalaciones son lindas y comodas y promueven todo el tiempo la relacion con el bello y salvaje entorno natural que rodea. La comunidad vive en paz, el trabajo es tranquilo y ameno, se promueve la comunicación, respeto y buena relacion entre todos los integrantes de la misma. Los coordinadores estuvieron siempre abiertos a escuchar las necesidades y propuestas de cada voluntario. Fue un aprendizaje constante, sobre permacultura y tambien una invitación a aprender mucho sobre uno mismo.
