    Description

    Hi there, beautiful travelers from all around the globe!

    Are you experienced in gardening, woodwork, DIY... and/or willing to do also physically demanding jobs (like uprooting, clearing underwood)? That's what needs to be done here mostly in low season.

    Are you seriously willing to STAY AT LEAST THREE WEEKS in one place?

    Would you like to stay in a peaceful, beautiful valley amidst impressive granite rock formations and evergreen lush vegetation, with olive groves, vegetable garden, chicken, dogs, cats, a few friendly people who live, work and meditate here? There are caravans, tents, a couple of wooden huts, lots of beautiful nature spots and helpful facilities. There are spaces for everyone - e.g. the "tea-lounge", the Tarzan-style semi-outdoor kitchen - and there are private spaces where only we have access, e.g. big part of our house. We, that's us, a small family who lives here throughout the entire year.

    We prefer volunteers who are at least 23 years old. Our wish is to meet calm, grounded, nature-loving people who appreciate the simple life with the elements. Especially welcome are volunteers who are openminded and interested in spirituality and in an ecological, holistic way of life.

    In beautiful Sardinia there are many sunny days, also in winter. But in winter it can get quite cold as it is a rather humid island in the middle of the Western Mediterranean. In summer it can be really hot, but usually a refreshing wind blows, sometimes it gets really strong. You should be robust, you should like the elements and a simple life style.

    Especially in summer volunteers should be willing to get up very early to catch the cooler hours of the day for working. Usually there is a long siesta around midday and then again some work in late afternoon.

    Please be aware that this is not the right place for improving your Italian. We speak Italian, but not in our day to day life. We are mostly German speaking folks here, but everybody also speaks English.

    Please don't contact us if you consume drugs or if you feel emotionally very imbalanced and unstable. Thanks for understanding!

    Please understand that if we don't reply to you it is usually because we are busy and we get quite some requests. Sometimes we do not answer when it seems obvious that a volunteer hasn't really taken the time to read our profile.

    We are an openminded multiple generation family living and working in a beautiful quiet valley in nature. An ecological way of life is important to us. Over the years we have been learning - and still are in the process of learning - how to balance our family life and needs with comunity life and needs. The Sufi meditation centre that we are running here is based on the openminded, non-dogmatic mystic path of Sufism (The Inayatiyya - A Sufi path of spiritual liberty). We love nature.

    Roshan is a meditation teacher and retreat guide. When she is here, she usually offers morning meditation sessions free of charge, sometimes music, singing, dancing, meditation practises and the zhikr, the Sufi body prayer in the evening.
    Over the year a few spiritual events and retreats take place here and quite often interesting people - visitors and volunteers - join us. Yet during some periods there are only a few people here and it might be a more retreat-like atmosphere. You shouldn't mind being alone quite some time during the day, If you do not always feel the need of others around you, if you are self-reliant and love nature and silence, this might be the right experience for you.

    When contacting us, please point out what interests, skills and experiences you have that could fit to our place so that we can understand whether it would make sense for you to come or not.
    If we get along well, long-term stay is possible.

    The ancient island of Sardinia is very beautiful and unique. The valley where we live is close to magnificent Mediterranean beaches (one hour walk) and close to the little beautiful village of San Pantaleo (half hour walk). There are impressive mountains just here and beautiful walking paths. The north-east of Sardinia is characteristic for its impressive granite rock formations and evergreen lush vegetation. Our piece of land is rich with vegetation, water and rocks.

    Thank you :)
    Roshan, Javid and Lena

    You can explore the beautiful and interesting surroundings, we will give you information and road and walking path descriptions.
    Especially those who are interested in meditation, in spirituality, in a simple ecological life style and in experiencing a strong and pure nature surrounding will benefit from staying here and learn something about these matters, from A like awareness to Z like ... zucchini!
    If you are interested in a specific Italian way of life this might not be the right place for you. We are not from Italiy but originally from Germany, though Roshan has settled in Sardinia a long time ago. She knows and loves the culture and the whole island, she and Lena speak very well Italian.

  • Aide

    Aide

    There are different kinds of tasks to be done, most of them outside in the fresh air. Some help is rather physical, like clearing paths, getting thorns out of the ground, weeding, gardening.
    Often we need help in the kitchen and the house, so if you love cooking vegetarian meals, baking bread and so on and if keeping the house clean is not a problem for you you are also welcome.
    We have two dogs, four cats, and some chicken.
    Flexibility from your side is important for us. What does this mean? Of course you have your two days off a week but it might not always be Saturday and Sunday, it depends on the needs of the moment. Same regarding the daily schedule, it won't be everyday the same, it might change, especially during seminars. But don't worry, we don't exploit anyone and always try to find a solution to satisfy your needs as well as ours. Actually we sit together regularly with our volunteers so that everyone may share how he/she feels, what you need, if something is wrong and so on.

    You can go hiking in the surroundings, you can walk to the beautiful sea (one hour walk or 10 mns drive), to the nearest village (half an hour walk), you can visit some ancient places of power (about 20 miuntes ride by car, you can get there also by bus plus walking). In summer there are a few festivals in different villages. You can have a busy but nice Italian tourist summer surrounding at the sea or in the village and then always come back to this quiet beautiful space in nature here to experience peace and solitude.
    The ancient folks of this island must have been very wise to build thousands of impressive temples, tombs and so on, most of them still radiating a lot of energy, some of them are charged with intense healing power.
    The close contact with nature can be a very healing and refreshing experience.
    Please bring with you:
    - shoes with good soles (profile)
    - from spring to autumn: mosquito protection (there are usually not many but a few can be enough to annoy people)
    - only organic washing products (shampoo, toothpaste, detergents of any kind)
