About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our project has various objectives: auto-sustainability, organic agriculture, animal shelter, horse guided empowerment, a retreat center and a production of native herbal products.
Our vision is to connect humans with nature and life, to trust again and feel the wholeness and holyness of every being.

💼 What the programme involves

Auto-sustainability & organic agriculture
Being already independent on water and electricity, we aspire to be as much as posible independent on food by the next 5 years. We have a piece of land where we can cultivate potatoes and veggies from the region and oats and alfalfa for the animals. We are experimenting and researching to cultivate organic.

Animal shelter
We currently take care of eleven horses, two Alpacas, four sheeps, chicken, rabbits, a cat and 3 dogs. With our shelter we want to provide a safe space for our animals, a place where they can live as natural as possible. We are an animal shelter; we do not ride our horses. We mainly do ground work and would like to prepare our horses to be able to work with children and help in therapy and coaching.

Retreat center
We are creating a special space for horse guided empowerment, familiy constelation with horses, meditation, yoga and traditional Aymara ceremonies and earth offerings.

Production of native herbal products
We are preparing to offer herbal tea, herbal esences, and more...

🍲 Food

Accommodation with a own kitchen, and cooked lunch 4 days a week / Groceries for cooking lunch 2 days a week.

📍 About the location

We are located at about 4000 meters high, which means that everything is much more intense. Acclimate of beforehand in Puno is obligatory. Physical and mental strength is needed in this place. During the day the sun can be very strong but once the it goes down it gets very cold!

⚠️ Requirements

We need help from people with discipline, willing to work and with a sense of responsibility.

ℹ️ Additional information
