Volunteering here is an exchange:
You get a beautiful space in a special location, 3 good meals a day, housing, and a community lifestyle. In return, you commit to 5 hours of help per day (working hours vary depending on the task).

We also expect volunteers to take care of themselves, others, and the space. We aim to leave the place better than we found it, and we expect the same from all volunteers.

Some shared duties like cleaning bathrooms and kitchen are not counted within the 5 daily hours.

All volunteers help maintain the compost toilets and are expected to clean them once or twice during their stay.

🚿 Shower access may be limited during the dry season.
