Cal Guerxo

Cal Guerxo offers a unique opportunity to experience life in a remote and tranquil village in the Spanish Pyrenees. If you’re looking to escape the busyness of modern life and reconnect with nature, this is the perfect place for you. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, and magical landscapes, you’ll find peace and inspiration.
As a volunteer, you’ll become part of our family for a month or two, helping us with daily tasks (cleaning anda cooking once in week days) and spending time with our 11-year-oldson, Kauê. This experience is ideal for those who love the outdoors, enjoy cooking, and have a passion for engaging with children. You’ll have your own private room and plenty of time to explore the area, whether it’s hiking with our friendly dog, Maya, cycling through the hills, or simply relaxing in our biophilic-designed home and garden.
This is a chance to immerse yourself in a slower pace of life, share your talents—whether artistic, sporting, culinary, or otherwise—and experience the joy of living simply and meaningfully.

We are a family of three: Emmanuel (Belgian), Juliana (Brazilian), and our son Kauê. Emmanuel works as a regenerative design guide, and Juliana is a teacher, singer, and dancer. Together, we’ve created a warm and welcoming home filled with love, creativity, and a strong connection to awareness and nature. Our small garden follows permaculture principles, and our home’s interior design reflects our passion for living in harmony with the environment. Volunteers will be treated with respect, kindness, sincerity and care. To integrate the volunteers is part of our goal family, and we’ll ensure that your stay is enjoyable and enriching. We value open communication and will work together to create a balanced schedule that includes personal time. We’re happy to share some of our passions and practices with you, such as Hand in Hand parenting, Zen meditation, Belgian dishes, singing classes, or Chi Kung. We aim to create a positive and nurturing environment where you’ll feel at home.

Overall, I had a good time. It wasn't easy to get to know the family as I felt there wasn't any interest in getting to know me. I had much freedom on when to do chores, but I found it quite weird for me to wake up to a dirty kitchen (that I had to clean up) or having to clean dishes and pans that I did not use. I expected from them to at least pick up and clean if something falls, wash their own dishes, pans, help with laundry and unload the dishwasher. It wasn't "assisting" with chores. Family rules, eating habits, and how to deal with the kid (as he has different needs) should be explained.

Estar en Cal Guerxo fue una experiencia retadora, divertida e impactante, me sentí parte de la familia, y me sentí bienvenida y querida; las actividades por realizar son varias, durante el día, recomendaría estar al pendiente de las horas de trabajo por parte del voluntario y del anfitrión, pues al vivir en el mismo espacio en el que colaboras, puede sentirse que no terminas de trabajar.
Gracias familia Cal Guerxo, por las experiencias y momentos vividos, lo llevo en el corazón.

Este fue nuestro primer voluntariado, y fue una experiencia muy enriquecedora. Si buscas desconectarte del ritmo diario y aprender una infinidad de cosas, Cal Guerxo es el lugar perfecto, lleno de magia y calidez.

Estamos profundamente agradecidos con Jul, Manú, Kaue y Maya por abrirnos las puertas de su hogar y recibirnos con tanto cariño. Fue un placer compartir un pedacito de nuestra cultura con ustedes a través de nuestros platillos, palabras, juegos y momentos inolvidables.

Gracias por esta experiencia única que siempre llevaremos en el corazón. 💛

Mi primer voluntariado en Cal Guerxo fue una experiencia que me abrazó profundamente. Cada uno de los anfitriones me brindó algo único: Kauê, con su curiosidad e inocencia; Jul, con su pasión y calidez; Manu, con su manera de vivir con convicción y propósito; Maya, con su energía inagotable, me recordó el valor de la alegría en los pequeños instantes. Juntos me enseñaron a conectar con lo esencial, a vivir con más intención y a valorar las pequeñas cosas. Me voy con una gratitud inmensa por los aprendizajes, la compañía y las conexiones que me dejaron en este hermoso lugar.

A gorgeous place to visit but unfortunately I didn't get much time to explore,the hours were poorly explained and I didn't get any days off. I understand my experience was different as Juliana had taken up a summer job just before I got there which meant by the time she returned from work I had already done more than five hours of work and I was still expected to continue to do more throughout the day.They had many guests which was a lovely opportunity to meet people from all over the world, it was great fun going to all of Juliana's performance and Kauê is super sweet kid and full of energy

Ocean had the challenging task to stay with us during the summer holidays with Kaue being at home most of the time and Juliana going to work every day. Despite these difficult circumstances, Ocean managed to have a wonderful time with Kaue and he enjoyed his time with Ocean immensily. Ocean is a very trustworthy and dedicated person. We highly recommend her.
