    Description

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Pablo, I am a meditation and yoga teacher from the south of Spain. A few years ago I bought a beautiful house in the mountains of Asturias and started the process of building a small and intimate retreat center.If you want to check the process on our instagram profile ask us for the @ . My goal is to build a small community of people visiting and staying for short and long periods of time so that there are always people sharing the practice, their experience and helping around.

    In the country side there is always stuff to do: mostly land management, gardening, rebuilding structures, cleaning, pruning, and a long etc.

    🏠 Energy efficiency and conservation is very important for me, both as a way of saving money but also to protect the environment. In winter the house is warmed with a wooden stove, which takes time and does not warm the whole house. Winter is a time to be inside, to enjoy the cold, the quietness and introspection.

    🏔️ It´s quiet and peaceful: This is not a place to party or use drugs.The general feeling is that we come here to chill. Meaning we usually don´t play loud music, we don´t drink alcohol or make crazy parties. We do talk a lot, philosophise, laugh, play instruments, cook nice meals, do yoga, swim in the lake and a long healthy etc. :-)

    📱 Communication pre-arrival: The digitalization of our lives has completely transformed the way we communicate and relate to each other. Most of our communication now is thru screens, via texts and private messages, and this seems to have slowly worsen our sense of respect and responsibility for the things we say/text/post. The problem is that there are consequences to this. On the other side of each of our screens there is usually a person, with his or her own timetable/ worries/ responsibilities etc. Respect this. Send messages you are sure you will be able to answer. Make requests you are serious and genuinely interested in. Answer back in a logical time frame, even if it is to decline a previous request. I try to direct all my communications to Whatsapp to facilitate things for me.

    As a host, it is already quite hard to organize having 2 or 3 people over, so as you can imagine the lack of seriousness, lack of respect, the last minute change in plans, last minute cancellations and the sudden dissapearing just makes everything much more difficult and degrades this wonderful experience and community.

    Please, do not ghost, communicate often, communicate in time.
    I follow these rules and try to always do so.

    Please do the same.

    Thank you

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The idea is welcoming people interested not only in building, gardening, animal caring and farm life in general, but also interested in some kind of yoga practice, meditation or even spiritual practice. This is a secular, non-religious community, and we welcome and respect everyone.

    For me, volunteering is a collaboration. I´ve volunteered for many years in different projects and I know what it is to be hosted and work on similar places. The main goal will always be helping, yes, but also having a good time. It means we have to try our best to make it nice for everyone else, to take things easy and try not to take things personally. In the process, we should try to be grateful. Chances are if you can afford to do some volunteering you have an amazing life.

  • Help

    Help

    Maintenance help is the big thing in the country side. Moving materials around, cleaning land, arranging the spaces, helping with animals, things breaking down, and a long etc. Workawayers with experience in construction, animals and gardening are specially welcome!
    From time to time so help with my children will also be necessary.

    The help is very often quite physical. This means you´ll be helping with digging, pulling roots, moving materials, weeding etc Keep it mind, specially if you have never done something similar. This kind of help is also super rewarding, so it s also a good idea to embrace the challenge and enjoy using our bodies everyday instead of sitting at a desk.

    The tasks are separated from the business of renting the house in summer and is focused on the garden and surroundings.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    During cold months we will be staying inside a nice, confortable house, the main house, during the summer we ll be outside, camping (until I can build a cabin for the volunteers).

    Depending on the number of volunteers and time of the year you ll get a room or share another confortable room with other helpers. In summer time we will be camping outside. Breakfast and lunch are done together, dinning together is optional, but recommended!

    I provide healthy, normally local vegetarian meals. I do not provide sugary, highly processed and carnivore meals. You can get them for yourself or share them with other volunteers.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Unless you have your own method of transportation, this is a quite isolated area. The nearest "big" village is 25 min away (Boal), but there is plenty of things to do around the area, such as hiking trips, swimming in the lake, and the house has some space for yoga or some fitness practice. There are also movie nights and board games.

    The rules: My goal is to slowly build a community, but the rules and final decisions will always come to the person in charge. This will be the most skilled person for the task, previous consultation with me or the person that I pointed to. At the end of the day this is my project, for the moment I put all the money and main effort to build it and I keep the right to decide what can and can´t be done. As I know what it is to be a volunteer, I make a big effort to be super fair with the people that come here. Volunteers can and will do things their own way, previous consultation with me. The key is communication. Be honest, talk, share, be respectful and empathic.
