Invitation
Nature stay in Bambuparque
For 50 years, industrial development and the greed for profit have seriously disturbed the balance of nature. We are paying the consequences with a change in climate generally unfavorable to the human species. (Knowing that everything is connected and interdependent, it was necessary to be suspicious).
It is increasingly important to act with complete respect for nature. The place where Bambuparque was installed more than 30 years ago facilitates a magical connection with nature, the introduction of bamboo has expanded this potential.
We are getting ready to receive, from next October, those who want to spend a few days immersed in nature. The exercises and activities offered will promote a personal connection with nature.
The ubiquitous bamboo among the endemic vegetation in more than 100 ha will be our common thread because, as Jeanne Pham Tran says: "Bamboo is the best ambassador to connect man to nature. »
In order to prepare these stays in the best possible way, we welcome, for one or more weeks, volunteers who are not asked for any financial contribution, we expect participation in collective tasks (organic garden, cooking, cleaning, etc.) or sharing of a personal talent that can help the group, (yoga, meditation, etc.) Accommodation is in a single or shared room.
Any request to register as a volunteer must be sent by email to:geral@bambuparque.pt accompanied by a letter of motivation indicating the reasons that encourage you to join us.
If we think that what we offer corresponds to your expectations, we will be very happy to accept your application and to receive you within the available vacancies.
