The experience

We've several volunteer positions here at the retreat, and housekeeping is as important as anything else!

Program Details

We have a big team of volunteers - some helpers assist us by preparing juices, clean-ups and cooking, others gardening and some with housekeeping.

We provide:

- An individual or shared room (We provide linens & towels)
- The bathrooms are shared by volunteers
- You can attend yoga classes & meditation workshops if you aren't working and there is space
- The food is vegan or vegetarian and cooking is shared by volunteers
- We have Wi-fi.
- There's a staff car usually available for use on days off, but please don't rely on this 100% of the time as occasionally we need it for other things.

Activities & Shift

The shift usually starts in the morning, 8am: On alternate days it involves cleaning the guest rooms (so 3 or 4 times per week) cleaning the sauna, clinic area and main house (daily). After the cleaning it's then maintaining the laundry cycles being completed and replenished.

Rules

Interest in holistic wellness preferred. As a place where people come to relax and cleanse away from their normal chaotic lives, we want to create a peaceful ambiance, where people can build their consciousness without distraction or undue toxicity. With this is mind, we don't allow drinking alcohol on site (except on special occasions), drugs are strictly prohibited and non smokers are strongly preferred. We are relaxed (and generally fun) but not a party atmosphere - more meditative, to support the guests experience. This type of energy isn't for everyone, we are away from the town so you need to be comfortable out in nature and in your own space!
