Ciao!
Se sei interessato/a a pratiche sostenibili, agricoltura naturale e rigenerativa (ispirata ai principi della Permacultura), cucina vegetariana, autosufficienza, crescita personale e volontariato immerso nella natura… questo è il posto giusto per te!
Siamo Silvia e Toti, due italiani che hanno vissuto all’estero in Inghilterra, Costa Rica e Isole Canarie, viaggiando anche in India e Centro America. Nell’estate 2020 siamo tornati in Italia e abbiamo acquistato 2 ettari di terreno nel sud dell’Abruzzo, ricco di ulivi, querce secolari e boschi.
Negli ultimi 10 anni ci siamo dedicati a facilitare Ritiri di Yoga e Mindfulness, laboratori di Ecologia Profonda e pratiche di autosufficienza e agricoltura rigenerativa, sempre con attenzione all’ascolto della chiamata del cuore.
Da 15 anni applichiamo i principi della permacultura come stile di vita sostenibile.
CHI CERCHIAMO:
Volontari per la stagione primaverile, estiva e autunnale (da metà aprile a ottobre), desiderosi di contribuire con presenza, dedizione e cuore. I posti sono limitati e vengono riservati a chi sente il desiderio di fare la differenza, che non teme di sporcarsi le mani e di mettersi davvero in gioco.
Le attività possono includere:
- Coltivazione dell’orto e raccolta di frutta, verdura e erbe aromatiche
- Produzione del nostro olio d’oliva e cura degli ulivi (stagionalmente)
- Piantumazione di alberi e cura della Food Forest (oltre 100 alberi da frutto)
- Compostaggio, pacciamatura, piccoli lavori di auto-costruzione, progetti creativi
- Attività legate all’autosufficienza, al riciclo e autoproduzione di conserve, marmellate, tisane e aromi
- Supporto alle attività esperienziali dell'associazione
Questo progetto fa per te se:
*Cerchi un cambiamento di vita o ispirazione
*Desideri essere CUSTODE ATTIVO
*Vuoi esplorare uno stile di vita ecologico e consapevole
*Ti piace vivere a contatto con la natura, in tranquillità
*Hai interesse o esperienza in agricoltura naturale e rigenerativa
*Vuoi connetterti con il tuo cuore e usare le mani con amore
*Desideri godere liberamente del tuo tempo libero per coltivare talenti e passioni (arte, musica, lettura, scrittura, pittura, passeggiate, canto…)
*Ami uno stile di vita semplice, lento e olistico
*Apprezzi la cucina vegetariana/vegana e la vita comunitaria armoniosa
Questo progetto non fa per te se:
*Cerchi solo un posto gratuito dove stare senza interesse per la nostra missione e valori
*Ti aspetti servizi urbani (Wi-Fi, TV, trasporti pubblici, negozi nelle vicinanze)
*Hai gravi problemi di salute fisica o mentale, o dipendenze da alcol o droghe
Se senti il richiamo a creare insieme, a servire la terra e la comunità con cuore e autenticità, Terramore ti accoglierà come casa.
PS: Per motivi organizzativi e logistici diamo priorità a chi è automunito.
Con affetto e gratitudine,
Silvia e Toti

ENGLISH VERSION
Namaste!
If you are interested in sustainable practices, the principles of natural farming by Masanobu Fukuoka and Permaculture, vegetarian cooking, self-sufficiency, personal growth, and volunteering in a beautiful location... this is the right place for you!
We are Silvia and Toti, two Italians who spent part of our lives abroad.
In the summer of 2020, we returned to Italy and bought 2 hectares of land in southern Abruzzo.
The property is rich in olive trees and surrounded by ancient oaks and forests.
In the past, we have lived in England, Costa Rica, and the Canary Islands. We have traveled extensively in India, Central America, and Italy.
In the last years, we have dedicated our lives to facilitating Yoga and Mindfulness Retreats, offering Deep Ecology Workshops, and providing experiences focused on self-sufficiency, natural farming, and the importance of listening to the call of the HEART. We are both passionate about natural and regenerative agriculture and have been applying permaculture principles as a way of sustainable living for 12 years.
We are looking for volunteers for the spring and autumn seasons.
We produce our own olive oil, so depending on the season, you may also have the opportunity to learn more about olive cultivation. We have a vegetable garden where we grow vegetables, fruits, and aromatic herbs.
We have started a FOOD FOREST project with more than 100 fruit trees arranged along contour lines and some "swales."
The activities are varied and may include any of the following: mowing, sowing, cultivating, harvesting, tree planting, creating "swales" to reduce soil erosion, mulching, self-built wooden projects, self-production, etc.
We make our own compost and like to recycle as much as possible with the aim of reducing waste and being self-sufficient. We avoid the use of manufactured chemicals and petroleum products as much as possible. We use only eco-friendly soaps as we have a phytodepuration system for reusing grey water. Our electricity comes from our solar panels.
We are especially interested in those who can bring creative ideas or construction skills.
We usually share 2 healthy and delicious daily meals (depending on the season, we adjust our meal schedule). Like a small family, everyone will be an active part of the group to keep things running and make daily life enjoyable for everyone!
THIS PROJECT IS FOR YOU IF:
-You are looking for a life change and need inspiration
-You want to explore an eco-friendly and mindful way of living
-You are happy to be in a very quiet place and connect with nature
-You are deeply interested in and/or have some experience with regenerative natural farming
-You would like to connect with your heart and use your hands with love
-You wish to freely spend your free time enjoying any of your passions/talents (art, music, reading, writing, painting, walking, singing, etc.)
-You enjoy a minimalist and simple way of living (such as having a tent as accommodation, a compost toilet, no WiFi, etc.)
-You want to savor life holistically, going slower and living simply
-You are happy to discover healthy vegetarian/vegan cuisine
-You love a community atmosphere and the idea of sharing your life experience with others in a harmonious and humble way
THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
-You are simply looking for a free place to stay without a genuine interest in our mission and values
-You expect to have "urban services" like public transport nearby, WiFi, TV, bars, shops, etc.
-You have serious physical or mental health issues such as very low mobility, severe spinal injuries, major depression, mental disorders, severe allergies, etc.
-You are dealing with a severe addiction (drugs or alcohol), as the use of these substances is not allowed at our place
We greatly appreciate your help in creating a special place of peace and harmony :-)
PS. For logistical and organizational reasons, we give priority to those who have their own vehicle.
With love and gratitude,
Silvia and Toti
