Area: Alpujarra, Sierra Nevada, Granda, Andalucia, Spain

An established retreat centre offering Yoga and Detox courses in one of the most enchanting regions in Andalucia, surrounded by the wilderness of the Sierra Nevada and only half an hour by car to the Mediterranean. Our farmhouse location is a home-from-home for people who love beauty, yoga, tranquility, and above all, a place to find peace, laughter and simplicity. This is an excellent work exchange opportunity for people with an interest in yoga and who would enjoy listening to our guests, without necessarily needing to be the centre of attention. If you are open-hearted, generous, humourous, grounded and stable and are able to receive and give in equal measure, we'd like to hear from you. Self-motivation and genuine self-confidence is very important, as you will be in daily contact with staff and guests. This summer 2010 we now have a few dates of availabilty again. The person's job includes assisting in the kitchen, laying/clearing table, washing up, chatting with guests, keeping the house tidy after the cleaner goes home.

From November to April there are fewer retreats and this is when we rebuild and upgrade.

We need a volunteer NOW! We bought a horse and a shetland pony that we have to collect before the 1st of July. Due to a cancellation we now have only one volunteer. Who would like to help us put together the horsestables? They are prefab, so no special skills required. Please ring or email if you are interested! We (Esther, 34 and Palli, 37) live on a farm in Bangsund (near Namsos, 180 km North of Trondheim). The farm consist of 85 ha ground, mostly forest and grassfields. We have 2 cats but no other animals. Previously, the farm was a shipyard and the main house dates from 1850 (see pictures). We both have full time jobs as doctors in the nearby hospital. We recently had a baby and Esther is therefore at home untill August 2010. After that, we will both be working during the days. We love to have visitors and are looking for 1 or 2 persons (couple?) to help us out. We expect you to work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. We offer a room and 3 meals a day.
