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, ayurvedic or counseling 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, ayurvedic or counseling sessions

We are caring for Osho Nirvesha since more than 30 years. We care for people with respect and love. Sometimes we are only a few , sometimes more.

La experiencia fue excelente, Dhara y Samarona son muy buenos anfitriones. El lugar es muy lindo, eso sí, un poco alejado de la ciudad pero puedes ir y volver en las bicicletas que están disponibles.La playa está a 35min.
Las actividades varían dependiendo las necesidades del día, puedes trabajar haciendo tareas de jardinería y mantenimiento o bien en la cocina y limpiando el lugar, los horarios suelen ser a veces aleatorios.
Cuenta con habitaciones privada para los voluntarios lo cual es una ventaja. El wifi no llega hasta la habitación. Si tu intención es desconectar es un excelente lugar!

Had a wonderful experience at Osho Nirvesha, Dahra and Samarona. The work hours are respected and the work itself isn’t very physically demanding. But there’s plenty to learn from the place, maybe not from the work itself but Dhara and Samarona has a lot of very interesting stories to tell, thank you both of you for that! The Osho Nirvesha in general it’s a beautiful place and there are bikes at disposal so you can easily ride to the sea and grab a nice gelato! Thank you Dhara and Samarona for welcoming me!!

The place I stayed was in a very tiny and cute lodge, surrounded by nature and wild animals! It’s isolated from the cities, and you might find it difficult to stay there if there wasn’t any other volunteers. (max 2 other volunteers) Due to my personal reasons, I left earlier than I had planned but Dhara was really nice at the end. The only thing I felt uncomfortable was having conversations with Samanora. Except that, the tasks weren’t too difficult and ok.
You’ll enjoy this place if you like nature and Osho meditation!

I arrived with a sincere spirit of service and openness, and I appreciated the opportunity to contribute as a volunteer. However, I encountered some difficulties in communication that made it hard for me to feel emotionally at ease, particularly in my interactions with one of the hosts, Samarona.
A specific exchange early on created tension that, despite my efforts, did not find a path toward resolution. I attempted to address the situation and gave time and space for things to improve, but unfortunately, communication broke down.
Due to this situation, I had to leave earlier than planned.

Nirvesha was an extraordinary experience. Over the past month, I had the opportunity to learn a great deal thanks to Dhara and Samarona — a warm and kind couple, always patient with us. Every day, we cooked, chopped wood, cleared the land, pulled weeds, and took care of security by reinforcing the fence. I imagine each month brings its own unique needs. We meditated often and came to know Osho’s message through his videos. I leave this place with greater resilience and a deep sense of peace in my heart.
