About
Calling all wildly practical humans.
From now until the end of November, we’re looking for a few experienced, hands-on people to help us prepare Freedom Ville for our winter residency project “The Living Experience”.
You might be a carpenter, builder, land worker, maintenance wizard, or simply one of those rare people with whom you share an idea and they somehow instantly know how to make it become reality.
The exchange is a comfortable, private accommodation in the village in return for a part-time contribution to our beautiful, evolving village.
Ideally, you’re physically fit, independent, comfortable with demanding outdoor work, and experienced in safely using tools (brush cutters and chainsaws). Communication is a skill that is highly appreciated ánd recommended for community life
Are you available sometime between today and the end of November?
Send us a message introducing yourself, your practical superpowers... maybe your personal kryptonite... and the dates you’re available. Photos of things you’ve built are always welcome.
Obrigada!
SOME PROJECTS/WORK AND ACTIVITIES WE CAN OFFER:
This winter we are getting ourselves ready for The Living Experience. In order to do that, we have several tasks, such as:
- Winter/water proofing the communal outdoor kitchen
- Building a shelter to store a trailer under
- Expanding our outdoor gym
- And reorganizing our workshop
In addition, there are other tasks such as:
- Chopping wood for the winter months
- Chipping wood for paths, etc
- Mulching
- Mowing the roadside
- Rearranging the vegetable garden
- And harvesting olives, for example
Part of The Living Experience is to learn the ‘art of living’, together in community. This means to communicate consciously, to build meaningful connections, to inspire and stimulate each other to grow and take care of our physical and overall well-being. Therefore, we have regular sharing circles/communication moments; you can choose to join a workout, run, or meditation. We have a weekly silent hour, and we are happy to share meals, music, stories, and lots of laughter! Dana is our on-site relationship/communication coach 🙂
