Program Details
Join us as a pioneer volunteer in Feneos to help create our first bio-garden and support the early development of our off-grid Ashram. You'll stay in a cozy mobile home with a kitchen and enjoy plenty of free time to explore stunning nature - Lake Doxa is just a few kilometers away!
Work is mostly unsupervised, so self-initiative is key. Skills in permaculture, natural building (e.g. composting toilets, yurts), or off-grid living are a big plus. Weekends offer optional yoga classes, spiritual discourses, and visits to local historical sites like the Temple of Iera.
Activities & Shift
4 hours a day, 4 days a week.
Rules
Please note: this is a spiritual space. Volunteers are asked to follow basic Ashram guidelines: a vegan or lacto-vegetarian diet, no alcohol, drugs, smoking, loud music, or inappropriate/overtly sexual dress.
