Détails du programme

This center is dedicated to spiritual practice and retreat.
If you volunteer with us, this should be your longing and you main purpose for visiting (apart from the volunteer work).

We are two permanent residents and offer three private guestrooms in our meditation center.

People visiting the house have reported the following learnings from the stay with us:
- establishing a daily meditation routine,
- experiencing inner peace & stillness,
- deepening of spiritual understanding,
- inner transformations on many levels,
- visions/ideas and energy to proceed with own new projects.

We will support you in this respect.

You need to have your own practices and topics that you want to work or focus on during you stay with us. Otherwise you will be bored quickly. Beginners on the spiritual path were oftentimes not happy here, as we just "live" a deep spiritual focus that has elements of monastic life.

Activités et horaires

We need your help with cleaning tasks & housekeeping.

Expected help hours:
25 hours/week for free accommodation and organic vegetarian food (self-catering from the kitchen storage).

Work starts daily at 9.30 a.m.

About the work required:
The following tasks will be part of your work:
- housekeeping and cleaning,
- some light garden work (especially sweeping or raking the drive way and pathways),

The longer you stay with us the more responsibility will be given to you - if you like.

There are morning and evening group meditations, and most of the time all residents, guests and volunteers participate in these meditations. You should only apply if you would - in general - like to join these meditations.

Règles

You are welcome as a volunteer if you ...
1. are longing for a retreat period to focus on your spiritual practices - for example meditation, contemplation, praying, deep bodywork, relaxation techniques, long walks in nature, dream work, certain kinds of reading, etc.
(Some people depend on music, singing, dancing or intense bodywork as their way of reconnecting. Our place is not suited for these needs, as our center is having a different focus.)
2. like to meditate with us, twice daily,
3. like to pay attention to detail and precision in your work and beyond,
4. would like to reduce your digital media intake to what is necessary, during your stay with us,
5. are 'experienced' on the spiritual path: You have your own spiritual practice and have been doing this practice for a while.
6. don't use intoxicants while you stay with us. We also do not take volunteer who are on pharmaceutical drugs or have an active mental condition, as either can impede your spiritual retreat or lead to unforeseen effects during a spiritual retreat with us.

We do not provide insurance. We recommend you have your own travel health insurance that covers volunteer work (e.g. www.worldnomads.com).
