Description
Do you want to learn and experience ecological farming in a meditation center? Come join us as a volunteer this spring to help create and care for our veggie garden from April to June! (these 3 months are the minimum commitment)
Through the cultivation of food and communion with plants, we aim to cultivate a deeper connection to the earth, ourselves and existence.
We are a meditation centre running for 30 years. We are located on the greek island of Lesvos, in the valley of eresos. Since last year we have an ecological vegetable garden which supplies our kitchen. Over a thousand people visit our center in the season (May-October). We practise many techniques of meditation from different traditions (active meditations, sufism, vipassana, zen, traditional tantra) and welcome many therapists from around the world to teach workshops on a variety of healing modalities. We are an Osho meditation center and practice the active meditations everyday and regularly run the meditative therapies designed by Osho. We have been running a work as meditation programme for 20 years where people come to experience how it is to live and work in our community.
