Help around the house and garden

The experience

Nestled in the wild rural Ireland, I nurture a tantric healing sanctuary—a place of connection, transformation and deep presence. Here, I host gatherings, offer individual sessions, and tend to the land, growing food with my own hands. But this journey is not meant to be walked alone. I seek kindred spirits to help care for this sacred space, tending house and garden in exchange for peace, learning, and the magic of a life in harmony with nature.

Program Details

The house is in a very remote location, surrounded by nature and not accessible without a car. The nearest train stop is a 25-minute drive away, but I’m happy to pick you up from there. The closest grocery store is a 15-minute drive, so be prepared for a peaceful, off-the-grid experience with limited access to shops.

The area around Aughavas in County Leitrim is a peaceful retreat, yet there’s much to explore nearby. Wander through the mystical Burren Forest, hike the scenic trails of Killykeen Forest Park, or visit the breathtaking Glencar Waterfall, immortalized by W.B. Yeats. The Marble Arch Caves offer a stunning underground adventure, while the Shannon Blueway invites you to kayak or walk along its tranquil waters.

History and culture are close at hand, from the 17th-century Parke’s Castle on Lough Gill to the vintage trains of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway. At The Shed Distillery, you can taste the famous Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, and the elegant Lough Rynn Estate offers beautiful gardens to explore. Whether you seek quiet nature, outdoor adventure, or a glimpse into Ireland’s past, this hidden corner has something special to offer.

Activities & Shift

I welcome like-minded spirits to help maintain the harmony of this space. Tasks can include general house maintenance, deep cleaning and organizing, caring for indoor plants and my cat, tending the garden, landscaping and nurturing the land, tending outdoor spaces, building, repairs and creative projects. If you can cook vegan meals, I would be delighted :)

Shifts are very flexible, the house does not have any schedule and if it does it keep changing every day. Sometimes it is just me in the house, sometimes there might be more people working there, clients coming and going, friends visiting and the environment can change from peaceful quiet serene place filled just with gentle rhythms of nature into buzzing hive filled with laughter, conversation and joyful energy of shared moments.

Don’t expect me to meet you at a specific time each day with a to-do list. I prefer to host volunteers who can work independently and take initiative. We’ll meet for consultation and further instructions as needed, but I trust you to manage your tasks with awareness and responsibility.
