Beschreibung
Hello loving people,
We are an enthusiastic open-minded retreat centre with yoga tantra and art courses, a non-profit assosiation run by Tantra Yoga teacher Wim and art teacher and Tantra therapist Chandra.
We like to bring people together in a green, calm and inspiring environment. You are more then welcome at our Centre for personal development and consciousness in our spring community and summer volunteer team.
Possibilities in 2024:
1. Harmonious co-living from 20th of April to 24th of June, and join for one week upto the whole period.
2. Be part of our volunteer team in summer 2024! Wednesday 10th of July to Sunday 1st of September for a stay of 2 to 2,5 weeks to support the Conscious Dance - Yoga and Tantra week retreats at the center, helping behind the scenes cleaning, making peanut butter, kefir, baking bread, doing shoping, gardening, etc. Depending your skills.
You are in a team of approximately 15 to 18 volunteers. Every volunteer has its own working schedule of 5 hours. Next to your working hours you can attend a daily yoga class, the evening activities with the participants and there is possibilty for co-creation within the team.
Dates of arrival to choose from:
10 July, 26 July, 2 August, 9 August, 16 August
Dates of departure to choose from:
29 July, 5 August, 12 August, 30 August
3. 30th of August to 6th of September is a special week! We take in 8 volunteers for exactly this week to help us bring the center back in its original state, by braking down tents, cleaning, replacing fourniture etc. There is a daily Tantra yoga class to atttent and co-creation. It will be a cosy, connective and unique experience.
4. Tantra yoga teacher for one or 2 weeks in summer (19 july - 19 august).
In all 4 cases: Sent us your email address and whatsapp. We sent you more details and also an introduction video with Chandra. Then we make a video call to already meet online in advance.
What we offer you in return: in July-August: Borrow a pop up tent from us or stay in own tent on the camp site if you prefer. Food and drinks. Next to your 5 hours help you can attend a daily yoga class specially for the volunteer members, or attent workshops during the Conscious Dance Retreat, Tantra Festival France and Equinox Festival . Important to consider: for the Tantra Festival you need to feel comfortable in a Tantric environment.
Spring community: stay in a dorm, 3 hours daily community jobs.
Do not forget that working on and around the property is not more than moving a pile of stones from one place to the other. What's really important is YOU who's doing it, ..........and the most important Tantra lesson.... we expect nothing else than 100% of your presence.
We work on normal speed to be able to be present in the here and now = not in slow motion, for we want to appeal to our full potential as a healthy human being, not in acceleration, for we want to be conscious of the steps we take along the way. Move flexibly like wheat in the wind. Be the stillness in the chaos.
A stay here is all about being who you are. Being alive, awake, conscious, being present in the here and now. Putting as much love as possible in what you are doing.
All meals are vegetarian and of course for free..... And YESSSSSSSS we have a sauna and a natural swimming pond ...)
For the safety and peace of our 2 cats and the chickens, we can't allow dogs on our property.
The minimum age is 23 years.
Important, we say NO to alcohol and drugs (plant medicine, THC, etc), it is a reason to ask you to go somewhere else.
Let us know if you are up for this once in a life time experience!
WE HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON,
WITH LOVE.
Chandra and Wim
