In order to facilitate coexistence as good as possible, we ask our volunteers to take on
the following commitments and take responsibility for them:

5 hours of work per day (not necessarily consecutive),

5 days per week for a minimum of 2 months (possibility of extension if all goes well),

2 days off per week

It is mandatory for volunteers to attend at least one of the two daily meditations we offer , so your commitment to us would be 5,5 - 6 hours of time each day, except for your days off when there is no obligation to attend any class nor to help around the house.
Failure to attend the meditations will be sufficient reason to terminate your stay in the house.

In exchange for that, we provide accommodation and vegan-vegetarian food
(when we have fresh eggs from our hens, no dairy) and

participation in the daily activities that we offer (yoga, meditation, etc.).

As the house is open all year, activities take place independent of any cultural or religious holidays, and independent of whether a volunteer sleeps or eats outside the center.

The volunteer assumes the commitment to respect the suggestions of the coordinators about the work to be done. The tasks and ways of working are defined by the coordinators, who are open to suggestions and proposals from the volunteers that may improve the functioning of the retreat house. Before implementation, proposals must be agreed upon by the team and the coordinators.
 

​

We expect self-responsible and mature behavior, which implies the following:

• Each person is responsible for the cleanliness and order of their personal area, maintains basic hygiene in their room, collects, cleans and tidies the cutlery, dishes, tools, common clothes and everything they use.

• Each person is aware of and responsible for the effect of their behavior, feelings & words, and acts accordingly.

• The day before departure, the volunteer dedicates part of his*her work schedule to a proper cleaning of his*her shared room.

• The house and its surroundings are a completely tobacco-, alcohol- and
  narcotic-substance-free place.

We expect a commitment that goes beyond offering work in exchange for room and board.
We don’t need just two hands to work, or people who just need a place to stay.
We are a group of people who share space, experiences and life.
We hope that your commitment will match ours.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to talk to us.
We are open to any suggestions or clarifications.

What can you find here?

• Group activities such as yoga, meditation, a healthy and balanced way of life, a familiar, respectful and friendly atmosphere, etc.

• A safe place where you can express yourself, develop and grow as a person.

• Enjoyable living and working in a team with open, empathetic and happy people.

• Accommodation in a mixed double room shared with another volunteer.

• Daily flexi vegan (dairy free but sometimes eggs), gluten free, low carb ….

• A natural paradise by the sea, surrounded by orange trees, wonderful scenery and some neighbors living nearby.

At any time that the retreat owners decide that a volunteer does not fit in with the needs of the center or that the center cannot meet their needs, we reserve the right to shorten
the agreed-upon stay and request an early leave.
