    Location: Chitwan, Nepal
    Minimum Stay: 2 weeks (flexible)

    About Us

    The retreat is a peaceful, eco-friendly space in Chitwan, offering yoga, meditation, and sound healing. We welcome volunteers with different talents who can contribute to our vision.

    While we invite people from all backgrounds, our current priority is finding someone with skills in eco-friendly building, sustainable architecture, or natural cooling techniques to help us design structures that stay cool in Chitwan’s hot summers.

    What We Need Help With

    If you have experience in areas like:

    Sustainable architecture and natural building materials

    Passive cooling techniques (ventilation, insulation, shading)

    Earth-friendly construction (bamboo, clay, rammed earth, etc.)

    Teaching local teams about eco-friendly solutions


    …then we’d love to learn from you!

    What We Offer

    Comfortable accommodation at our retreat

    Healthy meals

    A chance to experience Nepalese culture and village life

    Free access to yoga and meditation sessions

    Who Can Apply?

    We welcome anyone with a skill to share, but if you have expertise in eco-building and cooling techniques, we would love to prioritize your contribution.

    Interested? Send us a message with your background and ideas!
