Program Details

Administration tasks include managing guest bookings, responding to guest queries, planning guest arrivals and departures and helping with bookkeeping (It's essential that you have some experience with bookkeeping / accounting or very similar tasks or transferable skills). There may also be some interaction with the PT authorities (social security and tax systems) and completing orders and shopping so any experience working with these systems and speaking the language is also very helpful!

Activities & Shift

Staying for the length of 3 of our retreat programmes, (which is usually about 4 weeks) is the minimum application, except in exceptional circumstances. 6 weeks is much better, 12 weeks is generally maximum.

IMPORTANT: If you could please check our photo gallery you can see an image of our yearly schedule, please pick start and end dates that are between the retreat programmes, but which your stay covers being with us for at least 3 of them, thanks!

Occasionally we are able to take on volunteers for the whole season or part thereof as full time members of staff.

Rules

Interest in holistic wellness preferred. As a place where people come to relax and cleanse away from their normal chaotic lives, we want to create a peaceful ambiance, where people can build their consciousness without distraction or undue toxicity. With this is mind, we don't allow drinking alcohol on site (except on special occasions), drugs are strictly prohibited and non smokers are strongly preferred. We are relaxed (and generally light and fun!) but not a party atmosphere - more meditative, to support the guests experience. This type of energy isn't for everyone, we are away from the town so you need to be comfortable out in nature and in your own space!
