Permaculture and Eco-Agriculture — Reconnecting with Nature

This project was founded on the idea of not wanting to change the world, but simply to shift how people perceive their surroundings, nature, and how to live in connection and respect with the environment. What if we all dared to think and act differently?

During your stay, you’ll engage in all activities related to permaculture and sustainable living, gaining hands-on experience in its theoretical, practical, and technical aspects.

Permaculture advocates agricultural methods that align with natural soil cycles, water sources, and plant/animal life, ensuring no harm to the land—now or for future generations. Core principles include:

Working with lunar cycles

Composting and worm farming

Using natural mulch, insecticides, and pesticides

Harnessing alternative energy sources

You’ll work outdoors, discovering revolutionary food production methods while attending workshops and lectures in English or Spanish (based on your language level).

But there’s also time to play, create, and explore. And there’s yoga every morning!

Sample Daily Schedule:
Volunteer 5 hours daily (including morning yoga), 5 days a week.

• Wake early for yoga and meditation.
• Learn and practice permaculture methods in the farm and garden.
• Help cook vegetarian meals using the farm’s organic produce.
• Assist with farm cleaning/maintenance or coffee/chocolate processing.

Leisure Activities:
The project is near San Gil, a small authentic town and Colombia’s extreme sports hub. Hike, bike, canoe, raft, cave, or paraglide.

On-site, enjoy a private riverside beach for swimming. Daily yoga and meditation sessions are also part of your routine.
