What an absolutely magical experience! We came here with the idea to stay for just 2 weeks… and 6 months later, we’re still here. That alone probably says it all. This place has truly become home for us — one of the most special, heart-opening, and beautiful places we’ve ever known. The land itself is incredible. So much space, so much nature, so
… read more much peace. Every day feels like a gift here. There’s a wonderful community of beautiful souls — people from all over the world, sharing meals, stories, and laughter. We’ve made deep, real connections that we’ll carry in our hearts forever.
Yoga every morning sets the perfect tone for the day, and so many special moments followed: dancing under the stars, long talks by the fire, communal dinners, building projects, and spontaneous adventures. And little Enki — the cutest little human on this planet — made our days even brighter with his joyful, wild spirit.
A very special thank you to Michi and Karen for creating and holding this space with so much love, vision, and kindness. You’ve built something truly precious here.
We can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for connection, freedom, nature, and a sense of community, this is your place. Ten stars from us — and infinite gratitude. 🌻✨

Laura was overly supportive in our Project.
With a wide set of skills she was supporting way beyond our agreements to support our place.
I was always easy to communicate and she got realy part of the community!
Can highly recommend!
Which her the best on her way :)

I had the most amazing time. I loved every single minute of it ❤️
Even when it was chilly, the warmth of the community more than made up for it! From the moment I arrived, I felt safe and supported - both by the people and the beautiful land.

The hours were really fair; I initially planned to help five hours a day but, arriving with a bit of burnout from my previous work in IT, I chose the three-hour exchange with a small daily contribution of 11 euros. I helped look after Enki, who is an absolute joy - full of curiosity, energy, and openness. I learnt a lot from him! I also helped out with their website and social media.
There’s so much to do and everyone is encouraged to get involved in ways that suit them. There’s a weekly schedule where volunteers can choose tasks, whether it’s working in the garden, helping with permaculture projects, or suggesting something based on their own skills and interests. You can also cook and are encouraged to be creative with the food provided!
Daily yoga is part of the rhythm here, and I was also lucky enough to experience Keren’s breathwork and somatic movement session. I found both incredible and deeply moving. She’s a fantastic facilitator ✨
Volunteers and visitors can also offer their own sessions if they want to, and I attended a beautiful cacao ceremony while I was there. Also, if you get a chance to have a massage with Nic, this is highly recommended and one of my highlights there 😌
One of the most special things about the place is that it’s truly co-created. Volunteers aren’t just helping out; they’re invited to be part of the vision, to contribute ideas, and to experience what it means to live off-grid. It’s not always easy, but the way this community embraces the challenges is inspiring.
I’m so grateful for my time here. It’s a beautiful, evolving space filled with warmth, connection, and purpose - I would love to return. Thank you so much!
Thank you to Teresa, Karen and Michi for this enriching experience and for their dedication to a project that strives to heal planet and people!

The communication is very good, every morning there's a check-in and once a week a heart sharing circle where you can share deep feelings openly and without judgement.
I stayed 2 weeks and the tasks included watering plants, taking care of Enki, mulching, bioconstruction, cleaning, preparing rooms for guests. During free time I went for walks in the hills, group journalling, ecstatic dance, looking at the stars, chatting by the fireplace... There's a beautiful yoga shala, and a sauna! I went in December and at night it was cold, there's no heating in the bedrooms - but with blankets and lots of warm layers it was fine.
Good memories!Feedback

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! Hosting you and your daughter was such a joy, and we’re so grateful for the care and energy you both brought to our home. Your contributions made a real impact—your daughter’s work on the rocket mass heater was amazing, and your dedication to keeping the house maintained helped everything run

We loved sharing yoga and ecstatic dance sessions with you both, and your enthusiasm in the kitchen made mealtimes so special. Having your positive presence during family visits was such a blessing—it felt like you instantly became part of our extended family!
Little Enki misses you too! 🥰 It warms our hearts to know how much you enjoyed connecting with him, our guests, and the beautiful surroundings of the finca. Wishing you many more meaningful adventures ahead, and we hope to welcome you back someday.
With love and gratitude,
Karen, Michi, and Enki 🌿
My adult daughter and I stayed with Michi and Karen for 20 days in August 2024. We really enjoyed our stay there.The finca is beautiful with hills full of almond trees all around. There are two main buildings. We stayed in a beautiful room in one of them. My daughter was involved in building a rocket mass heater in the beautiful yoga sala and I

We were lucky to be there when their families came to visit which were all wonderful people and had such a good time together. Did a few excursions to nearby towns and the sea which were a nice change. Since some rooms are on Airbnb we had visitors from all over the world which was very interesting. Michi and Karen treated us like family giving us their full trust. Little Enki we miss very much!!! In all a very positive experience.

Thank you Michi, Karen and Enki for the beautiful time I got to spend here :)
The work is fun, the living situation and nature is beautiful and luxurious, there is an abundance of vegan glutenfree food, and the people coming there were predominantly super nice (weirdly many Germans during my time there haha!)
One thing to note: it's 6 days of

Other than a couple small things, I have had such a fantastic time with them. They are both very relaxed, kind, and generous with their time, money and efforts. They always have an open ear for the volunteers, they create intentional spaces like heart sharing circles and morning check ins so that it does feel like a mini community, and generously share free breathwork and yoga sessions. I had so many good laughs, talks, meals. We danced, sang, and did all the good stuff! I highly recommend :)

J'ai passé une dizaine de jours à, un lieu de vie créé par Michi et Karen, perdu au milieu de plantations d'amandiers et d'oliviers. J'ai pu y expérimenter la vie en communauté (nous étions une quinzaine de volontaires à vivre ensemble lors de ma venue) et effectuer des tâches variées (participation à la construction d'une salle de yoga, garde du
… read more petit Enki, entretien des espaces communs, etc.) Ayant choisi de ne travailler que trois heures pas jour (plusieurs formules sont proposées), j'ai pu également disposer de temps libre pour profiter du lieu, me reposer et me balader. Enfin, j'ai eu l'occasion de participer à plusieurs activités tout au long de mon séjour : yoga, human design, breathwork, kirtan, etc.
Tous les volontaires étaient logés dans une maison où chacun disposait d'une chambre spacieuse. Nous cuisinions à tour de rôle et partagions tous ensemble le petit-déjeuner et le dîner (mais il y a aussi possibilité de se préparer son propre repas). Les repas étaient vegan, avec toujours une option sans gluten. Chacun pouvait également acheter les produits/aliments particuliers dont il avait besoin lors des courses hebdomadaires.
En bref, je dirai qu'au-delà du fait que j'ai apprécié travailler dehors, avec mes mains et développer de nouvelles compétences en bricolage par exemple (mesure, utilisation de la perceuse, etc.), cette expérience a été pour moi une véritable aventure humaine et de reconnexion à moi-même. Aucun mot ne suffit à décrire pleinement ce que l'on vit à alors je vous invite simplement à vous y déplacer à votre tour.
Michi, Karen, Enki et Teresa, encore une fois, merci pour tout. J'espère revenir vous voir un de ces jours !

I had an amazing time at Michi's and Karen's place and when I left I didn't even wanted to go. There is an extra house, where the volunteers are living in, with beautiful decorated rooms. There is a wonderful communal area with a fire and a huge kitchen, which provides space to eat and interact with each other. When I was there we had been aroun

The work you can do varies from taking care of small Enki, building a yoga Plattform or doing work in the garden. I highly appreciated the trust they gave us. The mentality was based on "learning by doing", which really inspired me. They both are really interesting people and always open for good talks.
I also enjoyed the focus on holistic health at this place. We did Yoga and a workout together and they explained me my human design. If you are interested in these fields, this is definitely your place and you can learn a lot 😊
so all in all a wonderful experience! thank you so much guys and see you next time 🍃😊Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
