Osho Nirvesha Meditation Center

Are you looking for changes in your life. You like to live and work with other people. You want to grow spiritually, to find out more about yourself and to understand better why you are here on this planet.
Our Place is a cultural association and a meditation center as well as a space for personal growth groups. It includes a small biological farm of 6 hectares situated at the foot of the Macchia della Magona and is 7 kms away from the Mediterranean Sea along the wine route to Bolgheri. The main activities are the meditation center and farming. Often we are a group of friends who wish to live together in harmony, friendship and meditation. We are 2 people sharing the place with many friends helping. It is a beautiful nature spot.
We produce olive oil, jam, herb salt and firewood for our own consumption. Your help is needed all year round, in springtime for the pruning of 250 olive trees and 50 fruit trees and in autumn for the harvest of the olives. We are tending a herb garden and produce every year marmalades, mainly figs. In the colder season, we are cutting firewood in the forest for heating the houses. Our beautiful park with ancient trees needs some grass cutting. Further jobs to be done include maintenance like small repairs and painting, helping with and learning vegetarian and traditional Italian cooking. Some help with cleaning is needed. We are glad when you introduce the new helpers.
We offer accommodation in small wooden houses on your own. In the colder season, you will have a shared room in the house with attached bathroom and a wood stove.
We offer three meals a day. We cook vegetarian and eat communally.
You can participate in active and silent meditations and watch Osho discourses and receive individual reiki or ayurvedic sessions.
Your stay should last at least 2 weeks, or longer if you fit into the center's lifestyle. Sometimes you will be surrounded by many people and sometimes by a few. Two days a week you have off. We suggest bringing good shoes.
We speak Italian, English, German and French and have an Internet connection.
You can learn about life, meditations, living with others, maintenance of houses, farming like pruning olive- and fruit trees, producing olive oil, herbsalt and marmelade, gardening, vegetarian cooking and nature.
You can participate in active and silent meditations, watch Osho discourses and receive individual reiki or ayurvedic sessions.

My first volunteering experience was wonderful. I felt immediately welcomed by the hosts and the other volunteers.
A special thank you to Dhara, a strong and loving woman whom I am grateful for sharing beautiful moments with.
This place is perfect for a nature retreat and a much-needed phone detox. The work was sometimes strenuous but was always varied and well-balanced.
Highly recommended for a rewarding, enriching experience and meeting new and interesting people!

I had a great time here and really enjoyed working at the Osho Center! I met really nice volunteers and the host was very welcoming as well. The work can sometimes be very hard but it's still manageable and with the right company it can be really fun! A special thanks to Dhara for spending time with us and being such a hard working and strong women. I'll really miss the place and can only recommend it to everyone!

It’s been a truly wonderful two weeks at Osho. I’m grateful for meeting the hosts and volunteers, and for the peaceful environment that helped me grow and learn so much. It wasn’t easy at first—unstable internet, double shifts, and wood tasks—but I managed over time. My bond with everyone grew stronger, and I’m especially thankful to Dhara for her respect and care. I never felt discriminated against, only warmly supported. It’s been a joyful and meaningful experience.

I had a great experience with Dhara and Samarona, I felt so welcome by them, I also meet volunteers from a lot of places, they where also amazing people, we worked at the olive field, fixing the road, cooking, cleaning and even I tried meditation, this place is perfect for phone detox and connecting with nature. I am not vegetarian but I had no problem with the food. Thanks for all!

A great experience to disconnect and enjoy nature, surrounded by olive trees and wildlife. The vegetarian meals were a nice detox and the accommodation was comfortable. Work is fair, with a mix of indoor and outdoor tasks. Dhara and Samarona are both great to talk with, and I was really impressed by how much Dhara does for the center. I felt genuinely welcomed by them.

Thankyou both!!
