  • Description

    Description

    My name is David. I am a medicine chef, energy therapist, and the founder of a sacred space located in the heart of the Uspallata Valley, Mendoza, Argentina — embraced by the majestic Andes Mountains.

    I work with Ayurveda, the ancient medicine of India. I guide healing processes through conscious food, teaching, therapeutic support, and various energetic techniques. I deeply believe in transformation through love, nature, and the remembrance of who we truly are.

    This project was born as a spiritual and energetic refuge, designed with sacred geometry, domes, and natural buildings. We host healing experiences, retreats, holistic therapies, and conscious meals made with fresh and loving ingredients. It’s a place to rest, reconnect, and return to the natural rhythm of life.

    Surrounded by mountains and pure air, this land holds a unique energy that makes it a true portal for transformation.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    At home, we offer more than just a place to work — we share a way of living rooted in consciousness, simplicity, and connection with nature.

    Volunteers have the opportunity to experience a unique cultural and spiritual environment where they can:

    Learn about Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of healing, especially through conscious cooking and lifestyle practices.

    Participate in conversations and reflections about energy healing, sacred geometry, and holistic living.

    Connect deeply with the rhythms of nature, working with the land, the seasons, and the powerful energy of the Andes Mountains.

    Share in a lifestyle of community, respect, and presence, where daily tasks become a form of meditation and service.

    Discover and co-create a space where silence, music, ceremony, and joy are part of the everyday experience.


    This is a place where cultures, paths, and souls meet — a sanctuary for those who wish to give and receive with an open heart.

    Help

    We are looking for volunteers with open hearts and a spirit of collaboration — people who feel called to connect with nature, live consciously, and support the growth of a sacred space with love and respect.

    We welcome those who enjoy working with their hands and contributing both individually and as part of a team. Many of the tasks will be shared, while others can be carried out independently, depending on the rhythm of the day and the needs of the space.

    Some of the tasks you might be involved in include:

    Natural or conventional construction (bio-construction, carpentry, maintenance)

    Gardening and permaculture

    Creating and maintaining vegetable gardens and greenhouses

    Collecting firewood

    Cleaning and maintaining water channels (acequias)

    Gathering stones from the mountains

    Building with stone and other natural materials

    Supporting with general cleaning and organization of spaces

    Assisting in the kitchen or learning about conscious Ayurvedic cooking


    We value presence, initiative, and a genuine attitude of service. It’s important that you feel comfortable in natural settings and are open to experiencing the rhythm of a place that works in harmony with the land and spirit.

    Whether you already have experience or are simply eager to learn and offer your energy, you are welcome here.

    This host offers a language exchange
    Yes, we are open to language exchange! We speak Spanish as our native language, and we love connecting with people from different cultures. If you speak English or another language and would like to share it with us, we’re happy to exchange — whether casually in conversation or more intentionally. In return, we’re happy to help you learn or improve your Spanish in a warm, natural environment.

    Accommodation and Meals

    At home, we offer a clean, safe, and natural environment for volunteers to rest and recharge. Accommodation is in a shared room with multiple beds, dedicated to those who come to support the space. We provide sheets and blankets, so you don’t need to bring your own bedding.

    If you prefer to stay in your own tent, we can offer a peaceful space in nature to set it up — but please note that we do not provide tents.

    The setting is rustic and surrounded by mountains, inviting you into a lifestyle of simplicity, connection, and presence. Bathrooms and common areas are shared, and we ask all guests to help keep the space clean and harmonious.

    We offer three healthy, homemade vegetarian meals a day, inspired by Ayurvedic principles. Meals are prepared with fresh, local ingredients and a conscious intention to nourish body and soul. Volunteers are welcome to help in the kitchen and learn about this way of cooking as part of their experience.

    This is not a luxury place — it’s a sacred, natural space rooted in simplicity, service, and respect.

    Additional Information for Workawayers

    During your free time, you’ll have the chance to explore the beauty of the Andes — go for mountain walks, meditate in nature, or simply rest and enjoy the silence. The land itself invites you to slow down and connect with your inner self.

    We live a simple and conscious lifestyle, guided by values of presence, mutual respect, and connection with the land. This means:

    We keep spaces clean and organized

    We respect silence when needed

    We avoid the use of alcohol, cigarettes, or recreational drugs on the land

    We value open and honest communication

    We approach each day as a chance to serve, grow, and share


    Getting here: We are located in Uspallata, Mendoza. There are regular buses from the city of Mendoza to Uspallata. From the town center, we can arrange to pick you up or guide you on how to reach the land. It’s about 15 km from Uspallata, surrounded by nature and far from urban life — so please come prepared for a more off-grid experience.

    We encourage Workawayers to come with an open heart and a flexible spirit. This is a place to give, receive, and live in harmony with the Earth and each other.

The overall atmosphere is simple, rustic, and peaceful. We invite you to come with the essentials, as we live in a more off-grid way — connected to the land, the elements, and the spirit of the mountains. This is a place for those who feel the call to live close to nature, collaborate in community, and support a space of healing and awakening.
