Details

Description
Our holistic course centre is located in the middle of the most beautiful forest and wild nature, only 17 km away from Scandinavia's oldest (and possibly most beautiful) town: Ribe.
Spring, summer and autumn we have courses in organic vegetable growing, personal and spiritual development, art, theatre, interpretation of dreams, holistic living, etc.

We are looking for volunteers to help with practical support of the following areas:

Tasks at our place include helping in the organic vegetable garden, cooking meals and baking for the volunteers , maintenance jobs such as cleaning the (bath)rooms/corridors, washing up, doing laundry etc. If you are very handy we also have tasks like painting (windows/furniture etc), cutting hedges, ect. Just let us know what kind of task you would like to do!

Shared accommodation with 2-3 persons a room (male and female not mixed) and a common lounge area.
The creative area, gym hall and music room can be used when not in use by course participants.

Meals are vegetarian/vegan.
Trial period of one week and preferred stay of minimum two month.
Type of help
Gardening
Building
General Maintenance
Cooking / shopping
Help in the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Coming here will affect you deeply. We have volunteers from all over the world coming just to be a part of this lovely family. Many volunteers stay or come back because of the great energy and spirit of the place.
You will learn to be a part of a group working together for a join course. You will learn about Danish culture but also a lot about the culture of other countries as we live together as one big family.
You can also join in on the daily program of yoga, meditation, concerts and so on, when it is interfering with your shift.
All in all you will learn about a lot of new things and you may even learn more about yourself.
Help
Tasks at our place include helping in the organic vegetable garden, cooking meals and baking for the volunteers, maintenance jobs such as cleaning the (bath)rooms/corridors, washing up, doing laundry, etc.

Accommodation
Shared accommodation with 2-3 persons a room (male and female separately - unless you come as a couple of course, then you will get a room together) and a common lounge area.
The creative area, gym hall and music room can be used when not in use by course participants.
What else ...
As it takes time to get used to the working with the tasks of the centre, we prefer that volunteers stay at least one month as it has advantages for both sides. For us it takes a lot of effort to explain how everything works and things flow seamlessly when we know each other better. For the volunteers the advantages are that you become more free and are able to take more responsibility. And since we are a spiritual development centre you will grow and learn more the longer you stay.

Directions:
Take the train to Ribe or Vojens
From there take bus n°135 in the direction of Ribe
We can pick you up at bus stop or train station if agreed in advance.
