The experience

Hi, I'm Ismael, and I'm opening a community centre for holistic retreats and events. I need help with maintenance, minor renovations, and refurbishing some areas of the farmhouse, as well as maintaining the pool. I also have a section of land with fruit trees that needs harvesting and clearing, as well as help with the vegetable garden I'm planning to start soon. Help with the chickens would also be great. Are you up for it?

Program Details

I'm creating a space that reflects one of my life's dreams: having a community center where people can engage in yoga retreats, meditation, self-discovery, and other spiritual activities. It's the ideal place to connect with nature, eat fruit straight from the trees, and be close to the ocean at the same time. Motril is a subtropical region that receives sunshine almost the entire year and has a pleasant temperature. If you resonate with that philosophy and want to add your contribution to this project, come volunteer with us for a while.

Activities & Shift

The activities are very varied, and volunteers will have complete freedom to choose their schedules. Therefore, it would be beneficial if they are proactive, responsible, and creative individuals who can handle small tasks independently.
Some examples of tasks would be: painting, harvesting fruit, maintaining the pool, cleaning common areas, removing weeds, and organizing the garage and storage areas.
The four daily hours will be based on needs and availability, respecting rest schedules and allowing free time to explore the area.

Rules

Food will be paid for in cash from a weekly budget, so it's best if the person knows how to cook.
Guests and parties are not allowed, out of respect for the other residents and neighbors, and for the same reason silence should be respected during sleeping time.
