Description
Sowing community offers you the experience of living and participing in the day-to-day life of a collective project. The main learning is about community life: assertive communication, taking care of oneself and others, sharing and maintaing the community spaces inside and outside of the house. Like trees in Sequoia's garden, we try to live in connection with seasons and the rhythms of nature around. You will learn how to manage an orchard in a permacultural way, how to make bread with sourdough in a wood-fired oven, how to prepare beer, other drinks and preserves. You also could learn to cook for a few people with fresh, healthy and varied food. We love to eat together! Last but not least, you can lead your own personal project, accompanied by a reference person, and involving the volunteers team and other Sequoia partners.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
There's a single room for each volunteer, we know that privacy is important for living together. In volunteers team's appartements, there's a kitchen, a dining room, a toilet with washing-machine and a terrace. We have lunch together from monday to friday. Rest of the meals are self-managed. We try to adapt to the needs of each person. Tell us! You can use some bicycles, we could share cars and we are near to train and bus station in Torelló (by walking is about 15 minutes away). From there you can go to Vic (20min, the capital of the area), Barcelona (1:40h) or the Pyrennees (1h).

Participant profile
We are looking for people interested in collectives and projects related to ecosocial transition. "Be the change that you'd like to see in the world" We learn together, we encourage and inspire each other, by our relationships we are creating a network of connected people. We'd like to build alternatives where life is in center, with respect, acceptance of diversity and cooperation instead of competion. During next months, Sequoia collective is going to offer new activities as local shop related to a consumer group or a gastronomic space. Therefore, the volunteers will witness the launch of an economic activity opened to general public.
