Description
We are a beautiful, large Yoga retreat centre in rural Andalusia. We host yoga holidays, yoga teacher trainings, Permaculture Courses and other holistic or integral groups, in a stunning rural setting.
We are also home to a non-profit Permaculture Project.
We are engaged in land regeneration, syntropic farming and organic olive farming. The centre is located on 50 acres of farmland. We have an organic vegetable garden, horses, donkeys, alpacas, two dogs, and some feral cats. We make our own olive oil, olives and grow some organic veggies and fruit. The project is mainly focussed on reforesting, reversing desertification in southern Spain and farming olives holistically.
We are interested in strong willing volunteers who can come for a minimum of 3 months, and who have experience farming and/or with permaculture.. You must have either a European passport or European residency.

Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Farmstay help
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our main language here is English so it's not the best place to improve your Spanish but we do have some Spanish staff.
It's an amazing environment with a small community of people, interested in healthy wholesome living and Yoga.
Help
Volunteers must be able to come for 2-3 months.
Volunteers help out in our non-profit permaculture project in exchange for delicious organic veggie food, yoga, use of our facilities, comfortable shared accommodation and great company. Looking for hard-working, good-natured, strong, easy-going and flexible helpers with experience! The help can include: watering, harvesting, planting, feeding animals, lighting a wood-burning sauna, and keeping it going, emptying compost and compost toilets. There may also be other tasks as the situation requires, so you need to be willing to be flexible and accommodating. They are pretty routine tasks that need to be done daily.
