Description
Hello, we are a family of four, along with a few friends, helping to restore a 17th-century monastery 30 minutes from Pamplona. Our aim is to transform it into a place dedicated to nature, culture and social learning.
One of our greatest dreams is to create a botanical and artistic garden (the garden’s layout is almost complete) where people can come to unwind whilst learning about nature. Added to this is the low level of light pollution in the area, making it ideal for stargazing. We want to transform the space into a place where artists, dreamlike settings and contemplation come together naturally.
We are looking for enthusiastic people with ideas to help us co-create a community life where visitors can also be part of this.
Life here already inspires calm and contemplation, as well as fun!
Hola, somos una familia de 4 y algún amigo ayudando restaurando un monasterio del siglo XVII a 30 min de pamplona y la idea es transformarlo en un lugar de naturaleza, cultura y aprendizaje social.
Uno de nuestros mayores sueños es crear un jardín botánico y artístico (la estructura del jardín está prácticamente creada) donde pueda venir la gente a desconectar a la vez que aprender sobre naturaleza. A esto se le añade la poca contaminación lumínica del lugar para poder observar el cielo. Queremos transformar el espacio en una entidad donde artistas, lugares de ensueño y contemplación lleguen de forma natural.
Buscamos a personas con ganas y con ideas para poder cocrear una vida en comunidad donde visitantes también puedan formar parte de esto.
La vida aquí ya provoca calma y contemplación, a la vez que juego!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a group of people who love to share and grow as human beings, so everyone is welcome here.
During the exchange, we are happy to share all our experiences; we love sharing our day-to-day lives.
Volunteers will also have the chance to explore this area, which is full of medieval villages and stunning natural scenery. Among the wildlife in the area, I would highlight deer, roe deer, beavers, wild boars, foxes, many types of birds of prey, squirrels… and many others.

Help
At the moment we have a very large plot of land with lots of trees that need looking after, and at the same time we want to start creating some art in the garden... we think any help would be welcome right now.
Ahora mismo tenemos un terreno muy grande con muchos arboles a falta de cuidar, y a la vez queremos ir haciendo arte en el jardin... pensamos que cualquier tipo de ayuda es bienvenida en estos moemntos.

Volunteers will have a private room with an en-suite bathroom within the monastery. We offer comfort and spacious accommodation, as well as privacy.
We provide three meals a day; we love spending time together whilst respecting everyone’s privacy, and the space itself offers plenty of privacy—both within and outside the walls—thanks to its size.
The monastery is an 800-metre walk from the village of Sos del Rey Católico or a 2-kilometre drive. We are surrounded by greenery and have access to hiking trails throughout the area. Here, you can easily enjoy peace and nature whilst sharing in the experience.

El monasterio está a 800m caminando del pueblo de Sos del Rey Catolico o 2 km en vehículo. Estamos rodeados de vegetación y con acceso a trekkings por toda la zona. Donde se puede disfrutar fácilmente de calma y naturaleza a la vez que compartir desde el disfrute.
