Program Details

Here you will be an active part of the community. This means that you will become part of the residential community and work teams. If you join us, you will support the center with event organizing, cleaning, painting, gardening etc.

It's good to know that working here, often you have to have initiative in tasks, managing your own time, and being flexible in taking into consideration priorities and needs of the center. Even though many amazing retreats are held here, everyday work life probably doesn't feel like being on a retreat or in a yoga heaven :) A lot of the work has to do with assisting in "behind the scenes" stuff like cleaning and fixing.

Activities & Shift

When there is no "handy tasks", you will help also with:

- Housekeeping (cleaning & laundry)
- Photography & social medias
- Marketing
- Gardening in spring/summer/autumn
- Cooking for the volunteer team
- Hosting and helping in the kitchen during retreats, events and workshops
- Painting (walls, but also creative murals if you have the skills)
- Interior design

Tell us if you have any specific skills that could be useful to a place like ours!

Rules

No drugs allowed and alcohol in moderation.

We communicate a lot about the tasks via Whatsapp, so it is important that you can use your phone and respond to messages while you work.
