Description
Join us in creating a beautiful space for a non-profit project focused on health, spirituality, personal growth, and expanding consciousness. Our goal is to establish a welcoming environment for workshops, ceremonies, retreats, and group activities like yoga and meditation—all entirely free of charge, with no financial gain involved.
we need people with thge following skills and experience; Artistic painting, construction, carpintery and DIY work. If you don't have any of the mentioned skills or at least some good experience please don't contact me. Thanks
I love to share activities with workawayers, including yoga, meditation, board games (Dixit is my favorite!), and exploring the stunning beauty of Gran Canaria.
Respect for the space is essential.
Cleanliness, order, and a sense of harmony are not just preferences here — they’re part of the way of living in this home. I follow a minimalist and feng shui-inspired lifestyle, and I expect volunteers to genuinely respect and align with this atmosphere.
Please note: this means being proactive and consistent with cleanliness and organization, not just during work hours but as a general way of sharing the space. If someone is here only to fulfill their hours without real care for the energy and wellbeing of the home, they will kindly be asked to leave within a few days
Please, reach out only if this project resonates with you, as we seek people who align with our vision—not just those seeking a work-for-accommodation exchange.
I’m Raúl, a naturopath and nurse, and I believe that by building this community, we can improve ourselves while inspiring positive change in others. If this sounds like a project you’d love to be part of, we’d be thrilled to welcome you on this meaningful journey.

I got nice and unusual experience by staying at Raul's. I appreciated time outside of work hours together, it was real cultural exchange that is so rare. Despite the fact that I don't have any special skills, Raul patiently taught me some.
Muchas gracias!

Stefi is a very easygoing person, and she has really good conversation skills. I was very happy with her house maintenance skills and the speed at which she was working.
We became friends, so I think that’s all you need to know.
The only thing I was not so happy with is that she is not as tidy as I am, the rest was perfect.

My experience with Florian was ok . I was happy as he is a strong sport guy so he could help me doing physical activities. Doing DIY he could do it ,quite slowly but the result was ok. The only aspect I am not very happy it is with the cleaning as after do it in the bathroom, under my perspective it was not clean enough.

Sarah has many good qualities that make her one of the best workaways I ever had( more than 30).
She is active, respectful, clean, show interest, trustful, cheerful, good listener and hard worker . The only bad thing I can say about her is that you miss her when she leaves.
Of course I recommend her to anyone.
