Collaboration

We welcome volunteers who are genuinely interested in sharing our family goals, taking part of our daily work and routine and who also want to add something positive during their stay.

We aim to become a sustainable place, living in harmony with natural cycles, producing high quality foods, leading a conscious and simple lifestyle. It is therefore important that the volunteer agree on these points and is open to walk this path.

Here work is seen as a form of participation in community life and should not be stressing.

We suggest the following activities:

• Help in the kitchen;

• Cleaning;

• Help with tourists and art projects.

In addition to the activities above, we also welcome volunteers that are:

• Therapists, masseuses, yoga teachers, etc… who can contribute to the holistic center;

• Educators/artists who are open to offer lessons and workshops to the children of Rosa dos Ventos school (located at the farm’s main entrance and serving the children from the local area);

• People with expertise in bio-construction, gardening and agroforestry.

In addition to the activities suggested here, we are always open to the offerings and personal interests of the volunteer that can integrate and collaborate to improve the various areas of Pedra do Sabiá.
