Contact Register

Country: Greece

Last Activity: 10/03/2011

Description

We are a community-based holistic holiday Centre that offers workshops and retreats from May through mid Oct in Pelion, Greece. The programme includes Creative Arts, Healing {self, society and planet}, Interpersonal Communication and Self-enquiry. The Centre is staffed entirely by a team of international volunteers and work exchange students who come from anywhere from 3 to 16 weeks. The Centre is run as a full community with all the guests and workshop participating in the cooking, cleanup and gardening. The staff coordinate the work and create the authentic community that holds the Centre. The work is variable, and includes cooking, organic gardening, shopping, buildiing and maintenance. Staff volunteers put in about 30 hr/week, with one full day off. And its not all about work: we get to the beach every day!

Unless you have had living/working experience in one of the recognized international ecovillages, we will ask you to first attend a two-week orientation program for which we ask a financial contribution of $200 for your food and accomodation. If all works out for you and for us during your orientation, we would hope then to be able to offer you full work exchange for a further longer stay with us.

Work

Live for awhile high on Mt. Pelion, overlooking the Aegean, hiking to spectacular beaches, gathering medicinal herbs used by mythological Centaurs to heal humans. Be who you are while being away from what you are! Discover community, discover nature, discover life, discover Greece and experience how working, playing and sharing together are the ingredients for building true community together as a group.

Languages spoken

English

Accommodation

Tent, yurt, occasionally shared room in the hotel venue.

What else ...

Communal living experience is an asset as is the ability to work in a team. Served meals are vegetarian. Nearby Greek tavernas can supplement these as a personal option.

Our various summer programs run May to Oct. Come join us for as long as you like.

Why does workaway.info allow listings of hosts who charge money?

In developing countries (Where most hosts are involved in charity work or community development) some of our hosts may ask for a small donation to help the host family or charity (often less then 5 dollars per day) Workaway will allows this listing when the donation goes directly to the family or charity and is just to cover the cost of the volunteers stay.  (This this will be clearly marked on the host listing).
We will strictly not allow listings posted by agents or “middle men” or projects who we feel are looking to profit from a volunteers stay.
