    Description

    Our non-profit center, once rooted in the Alpujarras, is now embarking on an exciting new chapter in the magical Pyrenees of Catalunya. This is the early stage of a new cycle, as we reincarnate the center in a vibrant natural environment — and we invite you to be part of this living journey.

    Our vision is to offer a sanctuary for creatives, seekers, and professionals from diverse paths to retreat, reconnect with nature, and engage in a growing program of wellness, artistic exploration, and intentional living. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the creation of a space where research, exploration, ritual, and play merge to foster transformative experiences in healing, awareness, and joy.

    Right now, we’re laying down the foundations – literally and symbolically. We're calling for volunteers who feel drawn to help ground the project by supporting basic infrastructure, gardening, daily life and documentation – and perhaps offering their own gifts to shape what’s to come.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    This is a time of new beginnings and open potential.
    We encourage volunteers to connect with the beauty of the land, the rhythm of the day, and their own inner process.

    Nearby mountain villages offer a glimpse into traditional Catalan life, while the center itself invites reflection, movement, meditation, shared meals and creative moments by the fire.

    Daily meditation and simple rituals support a lifestyle of mindfulness and connection.

    Spring/Summer 2025 - Current Needs

    Eco-building & Hands-on Support /
    Help us shape the early infrastructure of the season: simple, beautiful, low-impact structures that support life outdoors. This may include assisting with compost toilets, outdoor showers, shaded gathering spaces, sleeping areas (tents, domes or lightweight shelters), and creative solutions for tools and storage.
    Whether you’re skilled in building or just eager to learn and co-create with nature – your hands are welcome.

    Gardening & Permaculture /
    We’re starting to cultivate the land with a permaculture-inspired approach, including an organic vegetable garden, medicinal and aromatic herbs, and the first fruit trees. If you love working with plants, soil, and seasonal rhythms – your presence will help this garden come to life.

    Cooking & Nourishment /
    Supporting the kitchen, experimenting with fermentation, foraging, local produce; helping build the foundations of future meal rituals.

    Support in Coordination & Light Production /
    If you're organized and intuitive, we welcome support with project tracking, logistics, communication, and creative follow-up – either on site or remotely.

    Media & Documentation / photography, storytelling, social media, design.

    Art & Design /
    We welcome artists working with nature, light, sound, land art, ephemeral installations, new media, performance, and interactive design.
    If you’re drawn to explore the dialogue between art, landscape, and consciousness – this is a fertile ground to create.

    Facilitators & Therapists /
    We’re open to meditation teachers, movement facilitators, sound healers, and holistic practitioners who wish to offer gentle group sessions or rituals, in harmony with the land and the energy of the season.

    Musicians & Sound Creators /
    We welcome DJs, instrumentalists, and sound artists inspired by nature, ritual, and deep listening. Whether your style is electronic, traditional, sacred or a fusion – this is a space to explore sound as ceremony.
    There may be opportunities for spontaneous sets, gentle sessions, or co-creating sound journeys with the land.

    If you feel you could contribute in other ways – we’re happy to hear from you.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We’re currently in the process of setting up seasonal infrastructure.
    The stone house is rustic but livable, with a shared sleeping area, a cozy fireplace, a functional kitchen, hot shower and compost toilet.

    Volunteers stay in shared spaces or tents (depending on the season and availability).
    This is a space for those who appreciate simplicity and can enjoy the raw beauty of living close to nature, while helping to gradually make it more cozy and functional.


    Food
    We provide food, primarily vegetarian. As we establish our garden in this new location, we continue to focus on sustainability and local sourcing.We eat a mostly vegetarian diet but are not opposed to eating some locally farmed or hunted meat.

    At the centre, daily meditation and other wellness practices remain central to our lifestyle, fostering a sense of inner peace and community connection.
