Description
🙏🏻Looking for 2 volounteers to help us durning the retreat in May (15-28 May)🙏🏻
Our Project on Croatian island Vis is a Holistic Center for sustainability, future proof Conscious Healing, Permaculture and Alternative schooling; we are in the stage of building main structures like Geodesic Dome, Permaculture Gardens, small wood Cabin Houses for guests, Natural Pond and much more...
Join us in this journey of building community and connecting to the essential qualities of the human story: resilience, tolerance and patient collective effort.
It is a path of self-exploration that reveals something more to life than the illusion of reality in this modern society fading paradigm – something purer and more profound; more purposeful...
Let's walk this path together!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The reason for visiting the island Vis is its natural beauty and traditional Dalmatian food, as well the island's atmosphere. From all the major Dalmatian islands Vis is significantly more peaceful with a hint of eco-tourism and spiritual tourism ( yoga and meditation retreats..). With its numerous unpaved roads trough nature and towards stunning beaches it is trekkers and bikers paradise. In the summertime many events are happening all over the island such as music, art festivals and small village annual celebrations...
Vis provides a perfect challenge for permaculture enthusiasts with dry powerful summers and a mild rainy winters, rocky based soil, mostly poor of nutrients..soil regeneration is the keyword ;)
Life here expands to include the whole community and the myriad requirements to keep it operational. To live as part of a conscious community requires one to recalibrate one’s personal needs and values to align with our vision, and culture of the place; and this merging of self with context – one’s community and the ecology that sustains it – is perhaps the most important process that takes place when we seek a regenerative way of life!
Welcome to yourself!
Help
The main thing we need help is with building wood structures and small guest houses so volounteers with Carpenter Skills are mostly welcome.
We would need help with gardening/ clearing vegetation; chipping, mulching, creating vegetable raised beds, mandala gardens, planting fruit trees, wood structures and yoga platforms building, dry stone wall and houses renovation work, wood/stone artistic sculptures and soooo much more :)
