The experience

Hi! In an oak forest on a slope of a mountain we start to build a meditation&retreat place. Since quite some time we create spaces for the inner growth (for others and for us as well :-)), and it's time to give it a physical space. We will be joyful if you like to join us, the surrounding is amazingly beautiful with the forests, rivers, mountains, waterfalls, and old Cathar castles. If you'd like to connect & ask question, we're happy to talk

Program Details

We would love that people who join us are interested in meditation and growth. We would also like that you come for at least 2-3 weeks, or longer.

Activities & Shift

We need support with light construction work (building the wooden bungalows and renovating the main house). We would also like to make the garden bigger, so that is also something that we can joyfully do together.

The hours of working are flexible - we usually like to make working days and days of rest - on average it will be around 25h/ week. We rather like to get the job done it in 4 days, depending on our flow together, and have 3 full days to relax, then to make it 5h/per day with only 2 days off, but it depends on the weather and other factors of course. So it waries
