Description
Update, I will need an english speaking non smoking lady from the end of February 2024.
=================
Plus I have to apologise to those who have kindly gotten in contact and are waiting on a reply. I am kept incredibly busy here and not always free to deal with correspondence , please forgive my late replies.
As well as being a pastoral Shaman I am also a Yoga Teacher and multidisciplinary therapist. Guests come to find peace and quiet or to review their lives in a place of healing, getting away from a world that can be as you know quite turbulent. The center is a not for profit operation and so i can not offer paid work. Part of the volunteers function is to be a presence here when I have clients on retreat. 80% of my guests are ladies coming for a retreat alone, so its nice for them to have another lady to chat and interact with while here. It’s very peaceful here and I have excellent WiFi. I am happy to teach you yoga, meditation or any of the other discipline on offer. Have a look at my profile and see if it might suit.

If time permits and if you are interested you can have classes in Yoga, Shamanism, Meditation, Mindfulness, Reki, Crystal healing, Divination free of cost. I am happy to take you to some of our local places of interest or the bring you to public transport so you can travel where you will. I have a few kayaks and safety equipment for use at your own risk. The retreats are run on a not for profit basis and so sadly I can not offer payment for your work.
Help
I run a small retreat center in south east Ireland. I need help with gardening, some painting, light housework and other small jobs. I am looking for one helper, or perhaps a couple.

English: Fluent
Accommodation
You will have a private bedroom, shared bathroom, excellent wifi full access to the kitchen and all food, its very informal and easy going here. I will not accept a smoker.
What else ...
There is a beach and some lovely walks close by, time permitting I will take you to places of interest or to public transport so you can head off and explore by yourself. Kilkenny & Cork are old cities that can be visited using public transport. Dublin is a 3.5 hour bus ride and also a very interesting city. It's an easy going appointment where you will be treated well and looked after in return for 3/4 hours work each day for five days of the week. Usually volunteers come for a few weeks and often stay for a longer period. 70% return as friends on holidays so it can not be too bad :)

Exceptionally good with my retreat guests. Jelena, got really involved with my little Center. My animals were never better cared for, chickens and cats. Housework, shopping, housework setting up studios and creatively preparing meals …. nothing phased this really brilliant young woman.

The jobs are pretty easy, and in exchange, Patrick is happy to give you yoga and meditation classes and teach you Reiki.
Nature is abundant, and there is a river nearby that you can walk to or a small village if you want to go out.
