Region: Gütersloh

We are running a dog school in the area of Guetersloh since several years, that means we give courses in educating dogs - or better in educating dog owners. On several times a week we offer our courses and people make single appointments, too. Also we visit people at home, if they have special problems with their dogs. Four times a week we offer so called play groups in the afternoon, where people come with their dogs to let them play. At the end of 2008 we bought a house with 10.000 qm land and a little lake on it. We are running the dog school there now and we also build up a dog hotel. Up to 10 dogs can stay with us. They stay in the group altogether during the day, only at night they stay in kennels. Therefore we only take dogs that are getting along with other dogs. Even though our business is running already, we are not finished in renovating our house and fixing the garden. There are still fences to be put up, rooms to paint ecetera. We also need help in caring for the dogs. Especially when we are busy with courses or playgroups, somebody needs to look after our hotel dogs. It would be perfect if you were able to handle a group of dogs. We are a Lesbian couple, 43 and 44 years old, Ilona & Linda. We have a 17 years old daughter staying with us. We have three dogs on our own, a white canadian shepherd, a Great Dane and a small Terrier Mix from Greece. Also we have 4 cats. At least one of them will try to sleep in your bed.

We are a remote Wilderness Lodge located on a privately owned beach inside Kachemak Bay State Park. We have 5 guest cabins and serve wonderful chef-prepared food to the guests and the volunteers. A volunteer would eat well, have a comfortable place to stay, and have opportunities to kayak, hike and fish from the lodge grounds.

Region: 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. From November to April there are fewer retreats and this is when we rebuild and upgrade. Opportunities are available for people with skills in carpentry, upholstery, general maintenance, painting, and gardening. April to October: there is an opportunity for 2 Workaway people with specific abilities. Ideally we'd like you to stay for 3 months. One person needs to have a firm grasp of general maintenance (pool cleaning, garden watering system, repairing chairs, hammocks, tipis, electric sockets, a leaky tap or shower, car tires/engine coolant etc. Also some work in the kitchen. This position would usually suit a man with a cheerful character and an interest in people and yoga. The second person's job includes assisting in the kitchen, laying/clearing table, chatting with guests at mealtimes and keeping the house tidy after the cleaner goes home. Also mid-week washing & drying (mostly towels). This position would usually suit a woman with a cheerful character and an interest in people and yoga.
