Descripción
Namaste.
I live in the mountain foothills in South West Bulgaria very close to the Macedonian border. The land is 2900 M2 on a South west facing slope with beautiful mountain forest views and the sound of cowbells often being heard.
I have a 1-2 hour practice of meditation, Kundalini yoga, headstand and mantra chanting each morning before breakfast. Visitors are in part at least required to join the practice. More details on application.
I eat healthy vegan food, usually having a green smoothie for breakfast (but sometimes oats with fruit).
Please avoid bringing any one time use packaging, and meat, fish, dairy and any non-natural personal care products into the property.
Over the last 19 years, since I became aware I was on an awakening journey from this dream of life on earth, I have learned many "spiritual" practices and much about holistic health. I am passionate about sharing what has helped me on my journey to better physical and emotional health and to becoming a more compassionate and loving person. -

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
The nearby town of Kyustendil is famous for its hot spring baths which we can visit occasionally. There are many beautiful walks around the area including in the forests, and there are rivers, reservoirs and lakes in the region.
I can teach about decentralised community governance using a system which has strong potential to solve many, if not most, local and worldwide "problems".
I can also teach about holistic healing, which includes meditation and yoga, and about block chain & crypto currencies.
Occasionally we may visit nearby friends for making music and singing mantras, and/or they may visit us.
Please Note:
If you do come to stay, please don't feed any stray dogs or cats (unless you do so in the village a couple of kms away, and make sure they don't follow you home).
The reason for this is not that I don't like dogs, cats etc, but I don't wish them to become dependant on me as I sometimes travel for a few weeks or months. One volunteer said I should write that my place is not animal friendly so I'm writing that here now. Actually I think I'm more animal friendly by not eating animals or their products which causes, in most cases, suffering to animals and to our own bodies. -
Ayuda
I invite volunteers who have gardening experience. Help will be in the garden, helping to create an abundance of fruit, vegetable, herbs and nuts, and/or helping with tasks in the house/barn/cellars.

Alojamiento
You will sleep on a bunkbed with mattress, the room possibly being shared with another volunteer or two. If you prefer a private space then you may sleep in a tent which I can provide (unless you have your own) in one if the other spaces. Blankets are available. Ideally bring you own sheet(s) / sleeping bag liner but if not I can provide them.
I offer a work exchange of 25 productive hours per week in exchange for 3 meals per day. The food is nutritious and healthy and delicious. Usually a green smoothie for breakfast (or oats with fruit as an alternative), bread/rice crackers with nut butter/relishes/pesto with salad for lunch and cooked vegetables with rice/buckwheat or similar for evening meal. Herbal tea's from the garden are also provided, but not coffee.
The food prep and cleaning up is shared (we take turns), in addition to (not part of) the work exchange hours.
Alternatively, if you prefer to relax more and work less I can sometimes offer 12.5 hours work exchange for accommodation only, with you providing and making your own (vegan) food. -

I got very inspired on his healthy diet. Every morning he has a smoothie full of greens from the garden. It felt so good to my body that I kept on doing it afterwards as well.

Thanks brother.
Although he did not have much garden or construction experience, he was eager to learn and did what I asked him to do.
He was helpful in the house, very respectful, and joined all yoga and meditation sessions. I would be happy to have him stay again.
Thank you brother.

Diligent, hardworking, respectful, always seemed to work more than his hours (I had to remind him not to work more :-).
He worked in the garden with plants, chopped and cut firework, built a small retaining wall with old tires and dry stone to make a terrace, and more.
I highly recommend you to accept Adrian … read more

Using words can't describe the experience I had. I ended up staying 2,5 months with Atma, sometime of it with other volunteers as well and my friend who came to visit me. Usually in the morning we all did meditation and Yoga (Warrior Training!) ;)) together, which was a great start for the day. Since there was no fixed work schedule you … read more

It is kind of hard to write a review about such an amazing guy.
All in all my stay was great, it turned out to be more a spiritual journey than actually working, but that wasn't imposed on me in any way. I definitely consider him a pure friend by now, even though I just stayed with him for just 2 weeks.
Atma has learned different … read more
