Description

Our concept with the establishment of our Health Retreat was the creation of an holistic health retreat for fasting, detoxification, cleansing and purification of body, mind and spirit. We had personally experienced the wonderful individual benefits of yoga and meditation, juice fasting, colon cleansing, proper nutrition, holistic therapies and the combination of all these in the proper environment would create a unique package, not offered anywhere else, for the elimination of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual impurities and imbalances, for detoxification and cleansing, thereby allowing your system to establish perfect health, which we always endeavour to do.
It is important to mention, that this is clearly a Health Retreat, our guests always come first, although we all live and work together, the focus is on the Retreat Centre and not on living together as a community.
So it is important the people who come here will look propper, for example no piercings or dreadlocks.

Work

So especially skillfull people (we are very much looking for Shivananda-Yoga-teachers!!) are very welcome.
But if you're not skilled don't worry we have lots to do and you'll learn quickly because it's all natural and not complicated....Cleaning, Juicing, Vegetable gardening are all part of our daily delights...

For organizational reasons we decided to divide the volunteers now in the areas house (cleaning, juicing and cooking), garden (as we are creating many new permaculture beds right now, a bit of digging every day, but also planting, weeding and lots of other stuff) and maintenance (chicken, compost bins, cleaning leaves out of the swimming pool, lots of other stuff also). If you have any special skills that don't ly in any of these areas, we are happy if you let us know, so that we can maybe make a use of that!
Please let us know in your application, if you prefer to be a house, a maintenance or a garden volunteer. Thank you!! :-)

People in the field of Yoga, Meditation and Natural therapies please come and share your energy here with us too! AT THE MOMENT WE ARE ESPECIALLY LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT MECHANICS. We have limited staff accommodation so please book in advance.

For honest exchange of 6hr of work each day with two days off per week. We ask all our volunteers to have no problems with drugs or alcohol and they must be non-smokers!!

Poeple who come here should also have a driving license.

As we all live together here, we wish that the people who come are considerate of common areas and keep them always tidy and clean. We are no cleaning freaks, but with so many people it's necessary to be really aware of staying clean.

This place is a vegetarian place and all our meals are vegetarian, but you don’t need to be a vegetarian when you are not here.

We ask for a minimum stay for two months.

Languages spoken

English, Portugese, Norwegian, German

Accommodation

Small and simple rooms with shared bathroom, with linen provided. It is also possible to share a bigger bedroom. We have free internet but please be aware there is no mobile telephone signal. There is a staff car for use on your day off, if it's not otherwise needed. The kitchen and cooking are shared by all live-in staff and volunteers.

What else ...

We are an established holistic retreat centre and seek people who are mindful and appreciative. Young travellers, who understand the principles of living in a wellness, yoga and meditative centre. Our guests are the most vital key to our business and we are all here to serve them to the best of our ablities, therefore the work we put into the centre is extremely important.
