  Description

  Our non-profit center, formerly nestled in the Alpujarras, is now beginning a thrilling new chapter in the breathtaking Pyrenees of Catalunya. We are in the early stages of reincarnating the centre, as it expands into new frontiers, and we invite you to be part of this transformative journey.
  
  Set in a pristine natural realm, our vision remains to offer a sanctuary for creatives and professionals from diverse fields to retreat, reconnect with nature, and engage in our evolving wellness and arts program. As we build the foundation for our new home, we are calling on volunteers with basic building or handy skills—or simply a willingness to learn—to help us establish the infrastructure for everyday life.
  
  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. As we lay down roots in this new environment, we aim to continue nurturing a community of co-creators who share their gifts, knowledge, and wisdom, celebrating life together.
  
  Types of Help and Learning Opportunities
  At this critical stage, we are focused on preparing the new site, which offers hands-on opportunities to learn and contribute to foundational building projects. Whether you have experience or simply a willingness to learn, your help will be invaluable in shaping the future of our center.
  
  Current Needs Include:
  
  Basic Building and Handy Work: We need volunteers to assist with the initial infrastructure work at our new location. Whether you have experience or just enthusiasm, your efforts will help bring our vision to life.
  General Assistance: From setting up living spaces to helping with daily tasks, there are many ways you can contribute during this early phase.
  
  When:
  
  First Half of September: Initial volunteer efforts are especially needed, with potential opportunities to continue later on.

  It would be great to have lovers of cooking and kitchen creatives that will open our taste buds to different and new experiences. A nutritionist or someone with knowledge in nourishment and healthy food would be an excellent asset as we need to build a meal plan for future gatherings; using our gardens produce. We also have a stone oven that would be wonderful for someone wanting to flex their baking muscles.

  Accommodation

  Accommodation
  We are in the process of setting up basic accommodations at the new site. Initially, volunteers may be staying in temporary structures or shared spaces as we work to build more permanent facilities. As always, we strive for a balance between rustic simplicity and comfort, ensuring you have a meaningful and enjoyable stay.
  
  Food
  We provide food, primarily vegetarian, with some locally sourced meat options. As we establish our garden in this new location, we continue to focus on sustainability and local sourcing.
  
  
  Food will be supplied; we eat a mostly vegetarian diet but are not opposed to eating some locally farmed or hunted meat.

  This is a time of new beginnings and endless possibilities. As we connect with the land and each other, we encourage you to take in the beauty of the surrounding mountains, practice mindfulness, and engage in the creative process. The small nearby villages offer a glimpse into local life, where tradition and modernity blend harmoniously.
  
  At the centre, daily meditation and other wellness practices remain central to our lifestyle, fostering a sense of inner peace and community connection.
