    Description

    Natural Building Coordinator at Eco Caminhos — Brazil

    Are you looking for a purpose-driven adventure that blends learning, hands-on experience, and a commitment to a sustainable future? At Eco Caminhos, we're building more than just structures — we're constructing a community grounded in environmental regeneration and meaningful living. Join us in Nova Friburgo and be a cornerstone in our mission to create the Ecolibrium Center, which brings together a Permaculture School, Sustainable Restaurant, and Eco Accommodation.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Lead and Inspire: Coordinate a vibrant team of volunteers and students, sharing your passion for natural building and sustainable practices.
    • Teach and Learn: Guide immersive workshops on natural construction techniques like cob, wattle & daub, and more, all while gaining hands-on training in innovative building methods.
    • Organize Daily Tasks: Manage daily operations, ensuring that every task contributes to the collective journey towards regeneration.
    • Live the Community Lifestyle: Embrace living in a supportive, eco-conscious community committed to transformation and growth.

    Who We’re Looking For:

    • A deep passion for natural building and environmental stewardship.
    • Physical readiness for active, outdoor work 4 days a week.
    • Strong leadership qualities and a collaborative spirit.
    • Proficiency in English and Portuguese (or the enthusiasm to learn quickly).
    • A readiness to dive into challenges and live in a purpose-driven community.

    What we offer you:

    • Immersive Experience: Work side-by-side with experienced builders and changemakers while gaining practical skills in natural building and permaculture.
    • Transformative Training: Participate in enriching workshops on agroforestry and sustainability that will broaden your understanding and enhance your expertise.
    • The joy of living simply: Enjoy provided accommodation and healthy meals, making your transition into community life smooth and welcoming.
    • Growth Opportunities: Develop important leadership and teaching skills in an environment that values personal and collective evolution as much as practical results.

    If you're not searching merely for a job but a transformative journey that nurtures your spirit and skills, this opportunity is for you. Step into a role that challenges the ordinary and empowers you to grow alongside a community dedicated to regenerating our world.

    Ready to Join the Movement?
