Become part of our community
We welcome people who cannot afford the cost of a retreat who are interested in sharing and integrating this way of living yoga and meditation as a proactive attitude to be cultivated in all aspects of our daily work.
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 period of 2 months (possibility of extension if all goes well for both parties), 2 days off per week.
In exchange for that, we provide accommodation and vegan-vegetarian food
(when we have fresh eggs from our hens, no dairy food)
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 the 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 centre.
These proposals must be previously agreed with the group and coordinators.
We expect self-responsible and mature behavior, which implies the following:
a./ 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.
b./ Each person is aware of and responsible for the effect of their behavior, feelings and words on others,
the group and the environment and acts accordingly.
c./ The day before departure, the volunteer dedicates part of his/her work schedule
to a proper cleaning of his/her shared room.
d./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 2 hands to work, or people who just need a place to stay.
We are a group of people who share space, experience 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?
a./ Group activities such as yoga, meditation, a healthy and balanced way of life,
a familiar, respectful and friendly atmosphere, etc.
b./ A safe place where you can express yourself, develop and grow as a person.
c./ Enjoy living together and working in a team with open, empathetic and happy people.
d./ Accommodation in a mixed double room shared with another volunteer.

At any time that the core group or the community leader decides that the 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 that they leave early.
