  Description

  ☀️To all beings,
  known and unknown
  I was shaped not by teachings,
  but by life itself.
  In silence, nature revealed everything.
  Nothing to learn,
  nothing to become.
  Only this
  to be. All living beings are connected.
  WE ARE ONE.

  🌟My name is ANAM.
  I am an energy healing master, a Tai Chi teacher, and a spiritual writer. I am deeply honored to have been chosen to live and practice alongside my spiritual teacher , DIVINE SUNYATA.
  
  For more than forty years, I explored a wide range of meditative and spiritual teachings, living in various Buddhist monasteries in my search for authentic truth, deeper compassion, and a meaningful way to live in this world.
  I have chosen to dedicate my life to walking this path with DIVINE SUNYATA.
  To me, she is not only a teacher,
  but a true guiding light. 🌟

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Here, volunteers learn to live sustainably and in harmony with the natural world,
  to confront the ego fearlessly, without illusion,
  and to discover one’s life purpose beyond identity, status, or recognition.
  They also learn how to honor and respect elders who have endured and overcome profound challenges in life,
  and who carry deep wisdom
  not to be treated merely as “friends,”
  but as teachers whose lived experience deserves reverence.
  This is how most spiritual paths function today:
  teachers separated from one another,
  students walking alone
  quickly filled with knowledge,
  yet never having learned the true techniques of fearlessness and deep connection.
  But true transformation never comes from accumulated knowledge
  whether through meditation, prayer , studying religions or AI.
  Wisdom becomes power only when embodied,
  only when fused with the fearless self.
  One fearless flame as the ONENESS with the divine
  standing whole like a sun,
  is enough to illuminate the world.

  Help

  ⭐️We are looking only for individuals who are exceptionally rare ,those who carry innate inner skills of deep connection, clarity, responsibility, and wisdom.
  This work requires:
  inner maturity rather than curiosity
  grounded presence rather than enthusiasm
  lived understanding rather than belief or practice
  If you recognize in yourself a quiet, proven depth
  an ability to perceive, hold, and act with integrity without instruction or validation
  then you may understand why this invitation is extended to so few.☀️

  Accommodation

  The Workawayer will have his/her own private bedroom. Single bed and all beddings are provided. There is a chair and a desk for writing. We live in a traditional Korean house in the countryside far away from the city. The bedroom is small, we share a single bathroom, and overall the house offers little privacy.

  What else ...

  About This Place
  
  This place was found 10 years ago by DIVINE SUNYATA, who is Korean -German.
  At that time, it was an abandoned and neglected house that local Korean people had no interest in and no longer wanted to take responsibility for.
  While others saw only a broken and unwanted place, DIVINE SUNYATA saw potential.
  She purchased the house from its owner and, through patience, effort, and care, transformed it into a sanctuary.
  In many ways, this place reflects the same process she offers to people.
  Just as she transformed this abandoned house, she also helped transform me, ANAM.
  This is DIVINE SUNYATA 's special ability:to recognize value where others see none,
  to believe where interest and care have disappeared,
  and through steady effortless effort and sincere trust,
  to transform abandoned people and forgotten places to regain dignity and shine with Divine energy.
  
  Workawayers receive:
  • Individual high teachings that you can never find in any books
  • Two free nourishing vegan meals a day (lunch around 11 am and diner)
  • Mostly organic ingredients
  • Free Tea ceremony
  • Clean, peaceful accommodation surrounded by nature
  • Free pickups which takes 1 hour one way to drive to the city and to the station.
  
  “This is a non-profit, heart-based sanctuary.
  Some old souls and volunteers, choose to support maintain this place through donations, but this is never expected or required.”
  ☀️ YOU feel an unavoidable and powerful calling toward DIVINE SUNYATA, not as interest, admiration, or desire, but as recognition as something that feels inevitable, even fated,
  then that recognition itself becomes the only criterion for her to choose and give the rare opportunity to come here.
  ⭐️ We only welcome one volunteer every few months, and volunteer stays are limited to 7–14 days.
  
  Please note that transportation involves approximately a 2hour round trip drive.
  We are able to pick you up in Andong only if you arrive before 16:00 (4:00 PM).
  Public transportation to and from here are not frequent. During your stay, we can arrange one outing, remaining connected and grounded whether in nature, a cultural or religious setting, joining a current event, or whatever may arise.
