Hello from Argentina,
Looking for a change? Want to explore a new country and culture? We have a lot of work to do and are looking for interested individuals for a work exchange. This is a new permaculture project, just started; we have a well and a lot of raw untouched land. Our current projects are building dry toilets, shower house, sleeping quarters, organic gardens, chicken house, temazcal, mud oven... All buildings are to be built using natural materials where possible, adobe, thatch, bamboo, cob, wood, and stone. We are located next to seasonal river and enjoy a warm climate all year around. We are looking to open our hearts and home to motivated individuals who want to help us in return and create a new way of sustainable living close to nature. We are open-minded people and we like to have fun and enjoy life... We have a small house with room for five people, and two tipis for up to four more people. Outdoor bathrooms and showers with hot water. Our meals will be prepared and eaten together, mostly vegetarian. Andrea is a chef and we enjoy making bread, sprouts, and raw food... We are a couple from California and Argentina, recently moved here looking for a more relaxed and self-sufficient life. We are both artists, and spent many years exploring the world before deciding on settling down and buying land in Argentina. We receive friends and people from around the world and we enjoy celebrating and dancing under the full moon when possible. We are open all year around, please come and visit, we ask that you plan to stay with us for at least two weeks. We like to get to know those who are helping us.
We are open to meet people that want to stay with us long term and be part of the project... creating a beautiful environment. We see this as an opportunity to learn together with other people interested in learning the skills to live closer to the land, in the words of the times a more "sustainable" lifestyle. We are located in the town of San Marcos Sierra, in the province of Cordoba, Argentina and are joined by three cats and two horses. It is one of three G.M.O. free zones in the country. Almost all of our food comes from local sources, including our produce, cheese, fresh milk, yogurt, eggs, bread, honey, even the organic wheat and the small mill to grind it are close by... Our soda water comes in old glass bottles delivered by a man riding a horse and cart. The weather is warn or hot most of the year, rainy season in the summer and there is one small river in the middle of town, and a large one 4 km away. The town is small, established in the early 1700,s it is a mix of gauchos, hippies, foreigners and indigenous descendants, quiet and relaxed all year except the summer and 3day weekends when people from the city take their vacations in paradise. Anyone interested in joining or supporting our project, please send us an email, and we can give you more info, pics, local sights or info on what your donation would make possible... In addition to the work exchange we offer normal accommodation for those interested in staying and not working; hostel style, or tipi. This is a great little town and a great place to unwind from a busy life. We hope to see you all soon. Please pass this on to anyone who should have it. Love and Peace
Andrea & Nate
