We search for the possibilities to live in harmony in this world while connecting with our true nature. We open our doors to everyone who has the intention to transform the current unconsciousness of humanity and is willing to serve Life. The primary objective here is to heal. Healing our body and mind we contribute to the constant planetary evolution, acknowledging the interdependence of every living organism, and realizing oneness. We see our space as a place where we can learn to live with each other and where we see which are the elements needed to co-create a functional and coherent community, be it with the people living on the land, with all of nature’s elements and with the surrounding communities. The work that we are doing here is emerging all over the world and we have the intention to extend and weave the net through service. Remembering how to live, how to accept, how to forgive and building a constant trust are our daily objectives. We offer services of integral health and offers workshops in holistic health, sustainability and basic principles of ecology. Our organically grown plants are turned into tinctures, teas, oils… being one of the projects envisioned to bring us sustainability. We have a Temascal (traditional sweat lodge) that we run twice month. Thatched cabins for our guests and patients, and a multipurpose workshop where we do our herbal remedies and other creative activities. We have a WWOOFers house with their own solar heated shower, toilet (biodigestor), kitchen and two rooms with 2 single beds in each. The woofers activities are: Taking care of the herb garden, composting, greenhouse, seed bank, irrigation. When building is being done - learn and be part of it. Maintenance of the communal areas, cooking for the members of the project (rotation), cleaning your own living space. We are a family run project striving for sustainability, hosted by Carlos, an MD with Mind Body training and Mandy-Lee, a bodywork therapist - experiencing our biggest bliss, our son Kian. Leave home any expectations, bring an open heart.

Hey, I am looking to do some wwoofing in March or April and your land sounds amazing. Would you be accepting volunteers at that time? Also I don't have much experience with gardening, permaculture or green building, would that be a problem?? thanks! - Amanda

Hi there!

Your farm sounds like a brilliant space to work and live,

I will be in Mexico City in as little as two weeks, and would love to travel to volunteer with you for 6 to 8 weeks if that is convenient.

I have recently joined WWOOF Mexico and look forward to being able to support the work of organic farms such as yourselves.
I have little experience beyond my own small vegetable patch at home but I am very willing and keen to learn and certainly not afraid of hard work!
At the moment I am trying to pick up some Spanish and hope to improve it during my stay.
I would really appreciate it if you could get back to me as soon as you can so that I can confirm dates in the next week or so,

thank you ,

Sophie

Hello!
My name is Noah and I have been working for the past 5 months in small, rural schools in Central America with my girlfriend. We are headed to Mexico at the end of April and would love to work on your farm. It sounds like the perfect mix of spirtuality, herbal medicine, and sustainable farming-exactly what we are looking for! Do you know if you will have space in mid April?
We are both nineteen and are very interested in the organic farming process. We both dont have much experience on a farm past gardening but are eager to learn. We also know quite a bit of Spanish. We look foward to hearing from you! Thanks!

Hola,
My boyfriend and I are currently staying in Cuernavaca, hoping to find work on a farm in the area before we move on. Our schedule is open so we are very flexible in terms of the needs of your farm. We are new to wwoofing, but are hoping to gain as much experience as possible during our extended trip throughout Latin America. We would love to come work for you, as the oppoortunity to be part of your project sounds amazing. We have our own sleeping equipment (pads, bags, and a tent) if space is an issue. We look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you, Emily and Tyler

Hola!
My friend and I will be traveling to Mexico during the winter months of December 2009- March 2010. We are going to be Wwoofing on a farm in Chiapas in January, so we would love to Wwoof at your farm either during December or February, if possible. We are both avid learners and the organic farm lifestyle is something we both plan to pursue in our future, and we believe this would be a great step toward that. We work hard always and can easily balance work with play. We are very responsible and respectful toward our host and what they provide us with. We understand that to recieve, you must always give first. Also, we can't wait to freshen up on our spanish skills. We've had four years of lessons, but arn't fluent quite yet. :)


We would love to stay a couple weeks to a month working at your farm, so let us know what would work best for you. We believe wwoof is a great oppurtunity to experience a different kind of culture, and we would both be very grateful to participate and learn about the farms involved with it.

Thank you,
Hope to hear from you soon! Carly and Sarah

Hi
My name is Bea, and I will be traveling through Mexico with my boyfriend from November onwards. We are very eager to learn more about ecological farming and living. 26 and 30 years old, we have been interested in and exploring these subjects over the past couple of years. We are now ready to enrich our interest with a greater amount of practical experience, combined with traveling and discovering other cultures.
We are enthusiastic workers and very motivated to assist you with your project(s). Please let us know if you have any availability for volunteers from November onwards.
Looking forward to your reply,
Bea

Delete Comment estimados miembres de la cooperativo~~ So far i've only grown my own herbs for food seasoning. I would like to get my fingers in the earth and dig a little deeper: it's time for me to grow the food as well. To me it doesn't end with caring for the crop. As a musician and sound healer my care goes out to all those around me. i also have experience in sweat lodging. On one of my travels i've lived with a shaman who taught me some things about medicinal plants, healing and instruments. Esperando oir pronto sus gratas noticias, les saluda*Ellen* weerklank777@yahoo.com

Hola,
I´m a 32yr old organic gardener with farming and animal handling skills from England. I´m currently based in Oaxaca having spent a month volunteering at the Bosque Village in Michoacan (reference available). I´m very interested in the sound of your project and wondered if I could be involved during the month of march or later as I make my way back to Mexico city. I´m honest, reliable, hardworking with a love of life and a ready laugh. I hope to hear from you.
Thanks, Matt.
