This is work exchange for live-in volunteers, who'll work 20-25 hours per week in our Big Love Café, housekeeping , gardening, and reception in exchange for accommodation, nourishing vegetarian meals, a natural forest setting, and the chance to be part of a community making a positive impact. Volunteers have also access to Buddhist teachings, yoga and meditation classes.
