Description
We are a center of convergence of dharma studies and practices of different traditions. Our main project is to create a place where you can connect with yourself and favor the integral development of the human being (body, energy and mind). For this we develop activities related to Eastern philosophies (yoga, meditation, teacher teachings, etc.), ancestral medicines, art and spiritual practices.
Our small community is located in the southeast of Spain, in a natural place with a semi-desert climate, where traditional houses are natural caves. Surrounded by silence, nature and tranquility. The nearest urban center is 10km away and the regional capital is 40km away. Practically every day there are members of the community that come and go to the city, so it is easy to organize for travel.

Nuestra pequeña comunidad está ubicada en el sureste español, en un paraje natural de clima semidesértico, donde las viviendas tradicionales son cuevas naturales. Rodeados de silencio, naturaleza y tranquilidad. El núcleo urbano más cercano se encuentra a 10km y la capital regional a 40km. Prácticamente a diario hay miembros de la comunidad que entran y salen hacia la ciudad, por lo que es fácil organizarse para los desplazamientos.

Last minute call!!!
We are looking for people willing to learn and work in gardening, reproducing species, cultivation and work of all kinds. Availability for the spring season, from February-March to May-June (after a trial period of one week). Driving skills would be an asset.
Must speak Spanish!
We are waiting for you.
It is very *important the knowledge of Spanish* for the great majority of tasks, so fluency in the language is highly valued. Please do not apply if you cannot speak and understand at least a basic level of Spanish.
*Miscellaneous maintenance work
*Construction help
*Gardening (long stay, minimum 3 months)*.
*Video recording and editing
*Graphic design and management of social networks * Event organisation.
Organisation of events.
Audiovisual installations.
Currently our main needs are:
- Gardening, construction and general maintenance work. We require people with the ability to work outdoors and we value knowledge and experience in construction, DIY and gardening or cultivation. Especially in gardening long stays are required, minimum 3 months. The most important thing: a good attitude to learn, and not to be afraid of hard work, because sometimes (only sometimes!) it can be hard work.
- Video recording and editing. We are looking for a person with knowledge and previous experience in video recording and editing, with the ability to bring their own ideas and creativity and, at the same time, to adapt to the needs of the project and the way the work is carried out. Preferably with own equipment for recording and/or editing.
- Graphic design and social media management. If you have knowledge of design, marketing and social networks you can collaborate in our training project in natural therapies (Devacharya Institute). We have a lot to communicate and we lack human resources to reach the whole world!
-Art: we want to make the center's signage and we need people with experience in sculpture and modeling, with or who know how to handle various materials such as cement, wood and other construction materials.
In general we prefer long term availability, at least 2-3 months, but we will always do a trial period of one week before we mutually commit to a collaboration.
