Program Details

Volunteers can help with daily activities such as cleaning the garden, taking care of the vegetable patch, harvesting, and general maintenance.
We’d like to expand our gardens to become more self-sufficient. You can help us build a small tree house or a chicken coop, take care of the olive grove, or use your creativity to create art while helping to open the path to the sea.
You’re also welcome to lend a hand with household chores — anyone who’s not afraid to pick up a shovel is welcome!
We’re looking for people interested in organic farming, yoga, meditation, and nature, but we also welcome anyone who simply wants to take some time for themselves and enjoy the peace of the Sicilian countryside.


Activities & Shift

We ask for 4 hours of work per day, 5 days a week.
Food can be shared, but it is not included.
