    Beschreibung

    Tucked away close to the beach in North Goa, our new space is where we, Ashwin and Tanisha, are starting the next chapter of our journey.

    For the last three years, we worked on a piece of land that had been neglected and abused for a long time. Through organic farming, simple building, and a lot of hands-on work, we slowly brought it back to life. The soil got better, the land turned green again, and we grew more veggies than we could have imagined when we started.

    We got a lot of love from the community along the way. People from around the world came, stayed with us, worked on the land, cooked together, and left a little piece of themselves behind. Many of them are still friends, and that's something we'll always be grateful for.

    Now we're focusing on other things close to our heart. One of them is wildlife, and we'll be working on conservation and awareness around them. We're also renovating our new space and building a café that we want to become a place for the community to come together.

    What you'll be helping with:

    Clean-up drives
    Woodwork and decor
    Helping us host events
    Creating the café space
    Renovation work around the space
    Making DIY homes for the doggies
    Getting your hands dirty with soil work and planting

    If you have a skill you'd like to share, tell us and we'll find a way to make it part of your stay.

    What life looks like here

    Meals are vegetarian, cooked together, and eaten without hurry. The work is real and hands-on, be it planting, painting, hosting events, and whatever the season calls for. Mondays are yours to explore the temples, waterfalls, beaches, pubs, markets, and Goan villages.

    This is not a resort or a retreat. It's a living, growing place and we're looking for people who want to be genuinely part of it.

    A few practical things to know

    1. Stay duration : We ask for two weeks of volunteering. At max you can volunteer for 3 weeks.
    2. Food : We cook simple, home-cooked vegetarian meals, and mealtimes are one of our favourite parts of the day. However, you have any specific dietary or nutrition needs, we'd request you to take care of those yourself, as we won't be able to make separate arrangements. The good news is vegan milk, protein, snacks or anything else you need is just a 10-minute delivery away.
    3. Personal essentials: Please bring your own toiletries and anything else you need for personal comfort.
    4. Getting here : The easiest and most local way is by bus. Taxis work too, and are the most convenient option, especially if you're coming with a lot of luggage.
    5. Getting around : We don't have bikes to lend, but renting one in Goa is easy and genuinely the best way to explore. Most volunteers sort this out within their first day.

  • Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    You’ll interact with our team, local staff, neighbors, and visitors who come to the café. This gives you a real experience of village life in Goa, including local food, markets, simple routines, and a slower pace compared to tourist areas.

    We love history and culture, so conversations often shift to stories about India, along with Goa’s unique past. If you’re curious, you’ll probably learn a lot just by being around.

    We’re also happy to share everyday activities like cooking Indian meals, understanding local customs, caring for the land, and running a small café in a forest setting. At the same time, we enjoy learning from volunteers too. People bring their own skills, cultures, recipes, music, and perspectives, making the experience interesting for everyone.

    Arbeit

    Life here is fun and we can promise you will never be bored. Most of the work falls into a few areas:

    Renovation & Building
    We're renovating our new space and building a café from scratch. There's always something being improved, fixed, or put together. Small construction, repairs, and hands-on projects that shape the space a little more each day.

    Soil & Greening
    We haven't left the farm life fully behind! Preparing soil, planting, potting, composting and bringing some green into the space. You get your hands dirty in the best possible way.

    Wildlife
    Wildlife is close to our heart and a big part of what we're doing now. You'll help us build DIY homes for the street doggies, look out for the furry friends around us, and support our work on conservation and awareness.

    Painting & Creative Contributions
    There are walls to paint and spaces to bring to life. We also love it when you bring your skills to the table. Photography, videography, murals, carpentry, if you are good at any craft, there's almost certainly a place for it here.

    Community & Events
    This is a big focus for us right now. We're organising community events, clean-up drives and local outreach activities, and we'd love your help hosting them. We're also growing our presence online and would love help from anyone who enjoys content creation, reels, storytelling, or just has a good eye for capturing real moments. If you've ever wanted to help build something from the ground up, this is it.

    If you are someone who has interest in learning landuages, we are happy to teach you - English, Hindi, Tulu, Odia and Kannada.

  • Unterkunft

    Unterkunft

    Volunteers stay in a shared dorm, each with their own bed. There is a lot of speace for people to relax, read, chat, or hang out after work.

    You'll have access to a bathroom with a western-style toilet (WC). All basic facilities are available.

    We're in the city, so shops, cafés and the beach are all close by, and anything you need is just a quick delivery away. It's a lively, easy place to settle into.

    We provide healthy vegetarian meals, mostly simple home-style food. When our cook is unavailable, we may cook together or prepare easy meals.

  • Was noch ...

    Was noch ...

    Mondays are yours - rest, explore, or do both. However, if you are staying for less than 10 days, we'll have a lighter day for you instead of a full holiday on Monday. The reason is pretty simple - a shorter stay goes by fast, and we want you to leave having actually experienced something meaningful rather than just scratching the surface.

    Goa has a quieter, wilder side that most travellers never find and you'll be right in the middle of it. Old temples tucked into the forest, spice farms, local markets, ancient villages, and a few beaches that haven't been taken over yet. We will love to help you plan the best trips. 

    A note on commitment

    We put a lot of heart into hosting and we ask for the same energy in return. We've had experiences where volunteers confirmed, made plans with us, and then disappeared at the last minute and that's genuinely not a great experience. So if you're seriously interested, we'd love to hear from you. And if your plans are still uncertain, no worries at all, just reach out when you're ready. We'd rather wait for the right person than rush into something that doesn't work for either side.
