Hello lovely people!

Your openness to spiritual practices, mindfulness, ceremonies and flexibility in moving around is important.

In exchange we offer a beautiful accommodation in a (due to COVID empty) retreat center, food, a lot to learn by accompanying us and a loving environment..

Where do I begin? It feels strange to rate this experience as I still feel I'm digesting those amazing 6 weeks spent at Paradise. Thank you to Rupert & Julia for welcoming me into your home the way you did and giving me such a great first volunteering experience.

Martha stayed with us over a month and was incredibly helpful. She can put her creative hands to anything. She is also lots of fun or very self contained and independent, intuitive game knowing what is needed.

I stayed nearly 2 weeks with Julia and Rupert and it was very nice.
It was not during a retreat period so it was very quiet, peaceful, I mainly worked with trees, I learnt how to prune and take care of olive, almond, apple and pear trees.
The mountain nearby is so beautiful and the view amazing, when the weather is very clear you can even see… read more

My volunteer experience here during three weeks has been wonderful.
It is a place that I recommend you to know and I encourage you to go to volunteer.

My stay with Rupert and Julia was truly wonderful. I was with them for a month, during which time they held two retreats, and prepared for a third which was due to begin the day I left. Their place is a truly beautiful location in the Sierra Nevada mountains. They offer three possibilities for accommodation for helpers ... a cute caravan, sunny… read more wooden cabin or a cozy Cobb house. I stayed in the Cobb house, which was the perfect place to retreat to when I wanted time to myself and to sleep at night … and with a big comfy bed at that!! Waking to the sound of birdsong was a joy and walking back from the main house at night, under the stars, was always magical.

Rupert and Julia, and their sons Kes and Wim, who were staying at the time, made me feel so welcome and comfortable. The retreat centre they have built (and continue to develop) is an extension of their home and all activities had a lovely family quality to them, whether or not there was a retreat happening. I always felt included and considered. Their generosity and kindness was so heartfelt and such a gift. And Julia's food was always imaginative and delicious. They were always quick to introduce me to friends that visited and include me on trips to the local market or walks in the mountains.

The work varied in intensity and form depending on what was going on, but was always manageable and balanced with down time. During the retreats I enjoyed assisting Julia with the the meal preparation, usually with another volunteer, and these times were always sociable, fun and relaxed whilst taking pride in doing a good job and offering the guests a good experience. I love that we ate all our meals with guests, which was a great opportunity to get to know them and share stories. Other jobs included washing up, cleaning preparing rooms before guests arrived and clearing up after they left. The spaces they have created are so beautiful that they really were a joy to clean and make pretty. Julia has also begun planting in her vegetable garden so I imagine there will be lots of work to do there into the summer as her crops grow.

I am so grateful to this family for their care and good humour and for the chance to spend a month in such a beautiful location, with delicious, healthy food, comfortable accommodation and good company. I am inspired by what they have created here by their vision, passion, determination, hardwork and love. Given the chance, I would definitely come back :).

I can't describe with words how nice was my first workaway here. Julia and Rupert are really sensitive persons and they make you feel really comfortable. The retreat is a piece of heaven.
Thanks so much Rupert, Julia, Baba, Joanna and Mishel !!

We stay with Rupert and Julia for almost two weeks. The work was a variety of tasks including painting and sanding for the tree houses, picking the produce from the trees and cleaning. The vegetarian meals and accommodation were nice and the views are amazing.

My experience here was too wonderful for words. It's a truly magical place.
The work depends on what is required, I was helping with a retreat, so mostly helping with guests, cooking and cleaning. But you could be working on the land or with the construction, being flexible with time and work is required but its so rewarding. I felt so welcomed… read more
