More Eco, less Ego
Chirokitia Eco-village โ We are an eco-village in the making, we have just got the land and it’s huge. Our dream for this place is to turn it into a sustainable eco-community sharing our experiences with guests from all around the world, it’s all about sustainability, community and culture, or how we like to say ” More Eco – Less Ego”. We are based near the ancient village of Chirokitia, located a 20-minute drive from Limassol, Nicosia and Larnaca.
Volunteer project – Tasks
The land is in a beautiful, untouched valley about 10kms from the beach. We are looking for good-hearted volunteers who can help with:
- clearing the land,
- landscaping,
- marketing,
- social media,
- sharing good times…
…and having fun doing it all. Expect to learn, explore and share knowledge, connect with different types of people and experience a multicultural setting.
Following the huge success of our first volunteer job, as well as the beautiful connections we made with lovely individuals, we are once again calling out for people who want to volunteer to help make our new events area at the eco-village. The work is not hard, we just need lots of hands to spread the load. The project consists of clearing the land, gardening, and landscaping, to make room for an events area and the path that will connect it with the rest of the project.
Start date
๐ Monday 12th April 2021
Hours of help
The work is 5 hours per day starting from 9 am to 3 pm.
Benefits

The Vision of the project
The Chirokitia Eco project is committed to living in a new holistic way of life, encompassing five main aspects of our personal health: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual development all supported within a community. Every day we strive to be a little bit better and be the living example and representatives of what a โHolistic way of lifeโ truly means, and from there we share the vision with willing, like-minded individuals.
Goalsโ
Our goal is for the Chirokitia eco-village to become a hub to explore, incubate and nurture new understandings of nature, society and, most importantly, of self. A new social paradigm where old thought patterns of authoritarianism, rigidity, discipline and industrialism will be replaced with emotion and repetition of concepts of harmony, love, community and self-development. Everything that we do now, is a projection for our future generations. We are challenging ourselves to develop our inner and outer capacity to create and explore. We seek to find solutions that are tangible and practical, sustainable and we would like to serve a higher purpose, to make a change and a difference for us and the generations that will follow.

Hello,
My name is Francesco, and I’m currently in Cyprus for a holiday. I’m keenly interested in exploring ecovillages. Would it be possible to visit and understand your concept and model of living? I’d greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide. I’ll be leaving on the 23rd of September.
Thank you, and warm regards.
