The volunteer opportunities just keep a-pourin’ on in! Now not only can we offer you the chance to work on an organic farm in Chilean Patagonia; to work on rainforest reforestation projects in Tulum, Mexico; and the chance to work with an orphanage through the Fundacion Viviencas Argentinas in Mendoza, Argentina; but we can now also offer you the chance to work with the Mayan community and the natural healing community this October in Tulum!
The Event…
What am I talking about? I am talking about the Forum of Healers, an event put on by the Enchanting Group and their website community of natural healers and alternative medicine, called Ombai! The Forum of Healers is a chance for natural healers around the world to come and stay at the Ecotulum resort for free for one week in order to educate and to promote natural healing to the tourism community in and around Tulum. The Forum is held from October 1st until October 6th, and during the week, healers will be invited to join in Mayan natural healing ceremonies, to give talks regarding their natural healing knowledge, and to attend press conferences with other healers. For those around the world who believe in alternative medicine, this is the place to be!!!
How can volunteers get involved?!
And now here is where the volunteer part comes in. Enchanting Group needs volunteers for a variety of things during the Forum. First, we need volunteers to help coordinate during the Forum–get the press to the press conferences, get the healers to ceremonies, get everyone to their cabana, etc. etc. We also need promotional work–we need the volunteers to blog and tweet their hearts out promoting Enchanting Group, Enchanting Challenge, Ombai, and the Forum itself. So if you are a little writing-bee that just so happens to love social media, this JUST might be the perfect volunteer opportunity for you!!
Wait, There’s More!!
But promoting and coordinating is not all that would be expected of you as a volunteer. No way, jose! There is a WHOLEEE community aspect that can’t be ignored! This is perhaps the most special part of the experience…Let me elaborate.
The Community Aspect
Enchanting Group is going to start to get even more involved with the Mayan communities that surround Ecotulum. How, you might ask. Well, as a company and an organization, we are going to start asking communities what they are most in need of–more energy, building materials, books to fill libraries, etc. Then, we are going to begin raising funds and materials to provide for these communities. Which is where the volunteers come in!! You got it–we need you to raise money, raise awareness, and deliver the goods. So this volunteer opportunity will include some serious community outreach. Pretty cool, huh?
How long is this gig?
5 volunteers can stay for up to 1 month, and 2 can stay for up to 2 weeks. The volunteers who stay for a month will focus more on the community outreach and the volunteers who stay for 1-2 weeks will focus more on the coordination necessary for the Forum.
What do I pay, how do I eat, where do I sleep??
You pay NOTHING. That’s right–zip, zero, ZILCH. Stay and eat and sleep for free, please!!! As gratitude for the great service you are providing us with…As a volunteer you will stay in a cabana at the Ecotulum resort, which is where you will also eat your meals that will prepared for you by the resort chef! Not a bad deal, huh? All you have to do is get there.
So that’s it. That’s the cool new gist. Email me with questions or interest!!! sarahannmaxwell@gmail.com
