Informationen
Beschreibung
We are an Eco-spiritual centre in rural Tuscany. Our emphasis is on reviving land and community.
STOP PRESS: We are running a Music Camp 11 to 21st April and seek musicians and other volunteers to help and/or participate in jamming and concerts at the property
We are looking for idealists to repair our world with a more sustainable, local-based lifestyle. We value practical and artistic skills including cooking, garden work and cleaning. Children welcome. Our slogan is 'Heal the land, heal yourself'. From 2024 we are offering Eco-spiritual retreats and also residencies at the centre for writers, artists and musicians which volunteers can help with.
We love the idea of the Mother Goddess as a healing, planetary and female-honouring symbol and host a temple to her. The temple is a space to focus on seriously protecting the Earth and its creatures and on the values of nurturing, communicating and cooperation rather than the ruling patriarchal death wish trio: competition, combat and corporatism.
Anyone attracted to this place and our goals is welcome. We are not looking for holidaymakers but people who want to contribute and participate in our long-term goals. Minimum stay is usually two weeks.
PS. Please dont smoke on the property

This was our first workaway project and it was perfect thanks to Ray! We had a lovely time, got to explore nature and the local town.
The tasks were pretty reasonable and my favorite part was walking Sybil (the dog).
Dinners were always fun with Ray! Would definitely like to repeat this experience again.

This place was home for me! I felt really good and Ray was amazing to me. Always concerned about my well-being! The job was really light, I worked either in the morning or in the afternoon, and I had a lot of free time to explore the area and to play with Sibi (his cute dog)! Thanks Ray for everything, it was my first workaway and it was perfect!

What a great stay in Montagna! Ray is a charismatic, generous man and his animals are other very pleasing presences who make the place altogether a lovely home on term. The volonteers are invited to invest their working time in what they think is the best contribution, according to one's skills and likes. I hope to come back soon :)

Vom Workawayer (Thorarinn & Hjordis Yrr) für Host
We had a lovely time sleeping in the ancient tower, exploring the countryside and local wildlife, as well as chopping all the firewood we could get our hands on! The old buildings are amazing and Ray was very accomodating. The place is very rural and quiet, yet Sansepolcro is only a 15 min drive away. A very nice experience.

The tasks were varied and easygoing, and not heavily structured...so if you prefer a relaxed and spontaneous pace of life, with plenty of breaks for food and wine and conversation, then this is the place… read more

A calm community with a beautiful landscape to volunteer.
Ray was always great: interesting person with whom it's easy to feel comfortable all time.
The work was very simple and the animals to take care were lovely (specially Sibi, the russian dog).
The neighbors were the kindest.
Will miss the place!
