Description
VOLUNTEER NEEDED FROM NOW UNTIL 11TH OF SEPTEMBER THANK YOU

I have a land of 7.5 acres that I am trying to make it a yoga - meditation and other alternative center, but in meantime we accommodate tourists in the summer and we work as camping for few people.

The place is in in Rhodes island in a village called Theologos (the words of the God, the meaning of the name) up a hill 500m far away from the village and 2km from the beach.
The island is located on the Aegean Sea, it belongs to Dodekanisa islands.

The village is next to the sea, (from this side of the island the sea is especially for people who enjoy windsurfing and kite surfing but also for people like us that enjoy just to swim with waves. Also is very nice for cycling and walking.

For winter I need gardening, landscaping, painting and whatever comes. For winter I offer 30 euro food for the week and the hours are 5 daily and 2 days of the week off.

1.For summer the jobs are the following
There a lot of jobs that is need to be done:
Everyday we must clean the common areas and the rooms , we just have one studio and one room.
and then we work on the land to make it more beautiful, gardering, watering.
Knowing web pages and social media also will be a big help.
And dispense the capacity if someone knows something to offer
Length of stay the longer the better but can be discussed when you arrive, and helping hours will be 3hours per day 5 days a week, with no food).
There is a small kitchen, shower and toilet outdoors.

I am working in alternative therapies . I am a yoga instructor and I teach thai massage also.

My plans are slowly to make this place an autonomous center a small paradise for yoga- meditation retreats. .
Any help ideas are welcome.

Do not forget that Rhodes is one of the most beautiful islands in Greece. It has it all, museum excellent beaches ancient sites secluded beaches, night life name it and is here.
We just waiting for you . Thank you

I stayed with Ifigenia for eleven days in February, and as there was only another volunteer (Mihaliiiis :) at that time, I was staying alone in a cozy little house. And it was amazing, I loved waking up super early and enjoying its perfect location with the peace and quiet, as well as the amazing view on the mountains and the sea with Turkey… read more shining bright in the sunlight. I instantly fell in love with that place, I can imagine when its warmer there are more people around, but this time of year is perfect if you are looking for a place to calm your mind, which I definitely was. Only cats and dogs running around, the lonely walks to the mini market and back uphill (occasionaly you are taken by Ifigenia to a bigger one), walking around beautiful Theologos, looking for the temple ruins, the empty beach, the night sky full of stars, all the beautiful nature you spend most of your time in, Simba singing (watch out, he is a crazy food-addict), the interesting talks about life and meditation with Ifigenia – she is a very helpful person, who shared some meals with me (and when she says she can't cook, its a lie, her food was always delicious :), helped me with my cold, and was very uncomplicated and pleasant to communicate with, always patient with repeating and explaining tasks and always positive about all kinds of situations.
Also I have to say I really enjoyed the limited internet access (Internet is accessible in the sitting area outside and in Ifigenias house) as I felt I was able to enjoy the place much more and keep my mind clear and spend time with various different things (like meditation and drawing and walking around and singing etc.). And as all buildings are seperated, even the toilet, you spend a lot of time outside in fresh air, walking from spot to spot.
The work I was doing was gardening work, cutting evel bushes and planting a new plant three hours a day, and I loved it, I was able to chose the time when I wanted to work, sitting in the dirt, listening to greek radio, Bubi came by from time to time for some cuddling, Ifigenia came checking whether everything was going well and asking how I was. It was also possible to work some days more hours to be able to work less hours on other days. There was just one misunderstanding about the day of my arrival as I was told that I could use the day for walking around but I didnt know that that meant that this was already my day off, which was unfortunate, because I didnt want to use up my free day right in the beginning.
As it was still winter, the weather was mixed, anything from warm sunshine to walk around in a tshirt, rain (good for the soil at least), to wind and more cool wind (apparently februarys are windy). It got cold after sunset (not comparable to central Europe of course), but if you have warm clothes with you, and make use of the electrical blanket (best part of the day was jumping in a cozy warm bed and read and draw), you wont even have to use the dehumidiator.
Great time, great place with a peaceful atmosphere that makes it hard to leave, and I would have definitely stayed longer, if meals were included, but I had a tight budget. Thank you for everything Ifigenia (and all your animals), I would love to pay your place a visit again in the future.

And may the lost gloves rest in peace, in a hopefully better place where they were probably taken by the wind, haha.

Ifigenia is lovely, chilled, and open-minded. Her animals are soooooo nice - I'll miss them! I began to feel calm and peaceful in this place. I built a roof on a little wooden house (new guest accommodation). You have to cook for yourself but that's cool - there's a nice little restaurant in the village too. And try the local yogurt!
