Co-Create Nature Retreats at Off-Grid Permaculture Farm

Alemanha

5

Volunteering at the project is such a magical and grounding experience! You're fully immersed in nature, living a slow and simple life with a small, tight-knit group. Everyone helps each other out, and you get to contribute to an amazing retreat space while still having plenty of personal time for whatever your heart desires—whether it's art, reading, yoga, hikes, or just relaxing. The main tasks are in the kitchen (cooking and washing dishes) but there are also other things to do like maintenance, farming and painting. Read the instructions carefully so you're prepared for off-grid living. <3

My experience at the project exceeded all of my expectations! The farm is truly beautiful and completely immersed in nature- I so enjoyed swimming in the waterfall, meditating by the guanacaste tree, and stargazing on clear nights. I immediately felt welcomed by Guillermo and the other long term volunteers Alicia and Javier, by the end of the two weeks they felt like family. I learned so much about permaculture, sustainability, local culture, and spirituality. This was my first volunteer experience and I would highly recommend it!! (Bonus were India and Bengal, the adorable dog and cat!)

I had a fantastic time at the project as a first-time volunteer. Manuela and Guillermo warmly welcomed me and made me feel at home. The cozy cabin, with its comfortable beds and mosquito nets, was perfect, and I enjoyed the project shower. The private waterfall was breathtaking. Be sure to bring long socks, and wide trousers. Weekly visits to the local farmer's market were a highlight. I gained valuable knowledge about permaculture, local food, and spirituality, and also sewed a curtain and designed signposts. I look forward to integrating their lifestyle into mine. I'll be back. Pura Vida🫶

The project was a life changing experience for me. It was my first time ever traveling alone and my first time doing world packers. Manuela and Guillermo made me feel safe and comfortable enough to challenge my beliefs. The accommodation is simple and beautiful, the waterfall is breathtaking, the entire experience was exactly what I needed. With that in mind, remember you are in the project and there will be bugs. More bugs than you have ever seen in your life. Bugs on bugs on bugs on bugs. I don't mind bugs and even I was a little challenged.

We’re delighted that you had a life-changing experience with us Katie!

Yes, there are bugs, especially during the rainy season, but they’re a vital part of our vibrant ecosystem. From colorful butterflies to fascinating beetles, they add to the magic of the jungle.

We invite our guests to embrace this unique aspect of nature. It can be challenging, but it also offers a special chance to connect deeply with the environment.

Thank you for being part of our jungle community and appreciating its wonders with us.

Ha sido un privilegio conectar con la naturaleza: (como ir a la catarata todas las mañanas a meditar) y el contacto humano con Manuela y Guillermo, con quienes cantamos, cocinamos, meditamos y que tendremos en el corazón. Todo fue fácil con ellos, fueron claros en qué necesitaban y amables y flexibles con lo que necesitábamos. Estar en el rancho fue lo que más disfrutamos. Similar a estar de acampada con lujo (cama cómoda, vistas increíbles) y total privacidad. Alargamos nuestra estadía gracias a lo cómodos y a la preciosa energía que compartimos. ¡Volveremos!

My stay at the project was more than I thought it would be. I have learned so much about living a permaculture life. Not only do you have the resources you need to live and survive, but you will brings nature back to its original, thriving state. Guillermo and Manuela are both wonderful, inviting and loving people who made me feel welcomed the moment I met them. They made my experience feel like…home. I felt like I was able to answer some inner questions I have been seeking through solitude, soothing sounds, and beautiful scenery. Thank you for an amazing first trip abroad! 🤍

Describing this experience is challenging; words can't fully convey its greatness. Collaborating with Manuela in the kitchen, using farm-fresh produce, was a delightful blast. During my three-week stay, I learned extensively about permaculture from Guillermo and Manuela, discussing over shared meals the highlight. The charming animals and diverse projects, from gardens to a new cabin, added depth to my stay. It wasn't just a work exchange; it was the creation of meaningful connections. I'll surely return to relive this extraordinary experience.

Manuela and Guillermo are very welcoming hosts! They are very open minded and kind people! I had a great time staying with them for two weeks and wish I could have stayed longer. The volunteering experience is great you get to cook every meal, help with the gardening in the green house and the land all the while learning about permaculture techniques to make the land more fertile. The place is really remote which is amazing as you are completely immersed in nature and you can even walk down to their private waterfall!!

I can highly recommend the lodge as a place to disconnect from the noises of our everyday world and get back in touch with yourself through being immersed in breathtaking nature. Manu and Guillermo are a beautiful and conscious couple that made me feel so welcomed and free to explore the different jobs on the farm. I got really inspired to apply some of the principles and daily rituals into my life.
