Rifugio per animali
Medio Campidano
Hi there! My name is Jessica, I am 30 years old and I manage my Horse Rescue Center and Animal Sanctuary in Sardinia (Italy), a beautiful island in the middle of the Mediterranean.
WE HOST MINIMUM ONE MONTH ( If you have your Van can be also a week)
1) MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY
We mostly host horses, but also other animals who were rescued and recovered from difficult situations, giving them a new life, away from exploitation.
The main mission has been to create a peaceful and harmonious place for people and animals through an equal, empathic and conscious partnership.
-Through the educational activities involving the animals we promote an approach where the relationship we create with them is experienced as a support for personal growth, aimed at the improvement of psycho-physical well-being of both animal and human.
This approach translates into a holistic relationship with the animal in which the role of the human is to accompany the animal to discover itself, aiming at creating autonomous individuals with high self-esteem, competent in relationships and in the various challenges of life. The human being will not give orders and commands but will be a companion always ready to inspire.
We are looking for someone that can help to create a vegetable garden in a permaculture vision.
We offer various services and activities:
Relationship and communication activities with horses and other animals, lessons in freedom with horses, pension and education of horses and dogs.
Partnerships with community of people with fewer possibilities, homeschooling organisations, summer camps for children, pet therapy.
Sometimes we also host and organize music events and workshops, juggling, self-production markets, holistic events, yoga, reiki, meditation, book presentation and so on.
3) DAILY ROUTINE
Summer: when is hot, in the morning we start earlier like 7.00 and finish around 10.00, in the evening start at 18,30 and finish around 20.30. In the middle you can have free time .
Autumn-Spring: usually we start around 8.00 and finish 11.00 and in the evening start around 16.00 and finish around 18.00.
Winter : is more difficoult here to have precise hours, if is raining a lot, we wait and in the moment that finish we start to work maybe with some stop .
-Dipends on the period the life here can be different, sometimes is so full of activities,
but most of the time is a relaxing place where you can know and stay with animals.
We host in my mother's house where we share kitchen and meals.
Volonteers have they toilet and rooms upstars
We eat vegetarian or vegan.
Few minutes from the house you can visit the city center, where you can see the park and the castle. You can also take the train or bus and in 1 hours you can reach Cagliari or Oristano.
You can visit the waterfall in Villacidro or archeologycal site near to this village,
move with bus sometimes can be difficult ( we hav just a few) if you want move a lot is better ask for rent a car.
Remember that is not a vacation in Sardinia, if your most interest is to travel or visit the beach and not stay with animals maybe you have to search another host.
Thank you a lot for read until here, write me if you are really interested to this project.
