Volunteer at a retreat centre in South Africa.
Country: South Africa
Description
A a small forest retreat centre in S-Africa, about 30km inland from the Indian Ocian. We are hosting groups and are open for people to come on individual retreats.
We also run a craft section to support the project, making jewellery, and are involved with community projects.
The centre is somewhat remote and often very quiet. We are looking for volunteers who love to meditate, and who are happy with a simple and quiet life style, helping out in various fields. No special skills are required. There are endless walks in the surrounding - in an untouched land where the last wild forest elephant still walks. There are also the most amazing rockpools right next to our property, although not easily accessable. It takes an adventurouse spirit who loves to explore. I am always willing to walk with people. I love it. There are stunning beaches not far away, and I go to the local markets on a regular basis. I am looking forward to find interested helpers - maybe one at a time.
