  • Description

    Description

    Welcome! Our land is located on a cliff right on the shore of the Costa del Sol so you will enjoy magnificent views of both the sea and the hills, the sunset and the sunrise. Even though our place is easily accessible, it feels like a place far away from society. There are 3 spectacular caves on the land. We have converted part of the land in a food forest.
    It is hard for us to know far in advance how much help we need. Best is to reach out not more than a month in advance...
    We also look for housesitters in summer and winter. You could care for our garden and orchard during that time.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    My partner and I spent many years in India where we felt deeply inspired by the teachings of the indian holy scriptures. We are open to share some of the wisdom and traditions of bhakti yoga, jnana yoga and karma yoga with anyone who seeks to live more authentically from the heart. We often host a song circle, yoga, rituals or dance events.

    Help

    Volunteers are welcome to stay for a minimum of 3 days of volunteering. We would love help with gardening, harvesting and processing food.
    3 hours of help are expected normally from monday to friday. In exchange you can live in our basic tiny house and belltent where you can prepare food.
    So we provide accommodation but not food. You can use our fridge and the kitchen in the tiny house. We offer at least one shared meal per week.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are located between Maro and Nerja villages. Nerja has attracted people from all over the world. People love the pristine beaches and sunny days. Events such as ecstatic dances, singing circles, yoga classes, women and men circles,... are organized frequently by sweet people living in the area. The bus stop from where you can travel to lots of places is a 15 minute walk away. We have a humble bicycle and some kids bikes.
    Beautiful beaches by the cliffs, rolling hills and the charming town of Nerja are all within walking distance.
    We believe in a healthy spiritual vegetarian diet, please no smoking and alcohol or non vegetarian food.
