  Description

  Hi, we are Neelamber and Fabrizio and we are Italian and we live in Barcelona since 2012...
  something about us:
  Neelamber
  I am a happy person, I am a Buddhist, and I follow the law of love and respect, I work every day to be more compassionate and remind myself that I have to breathe well.
  I am a visual designer, interior designer, and flower designer; eight years ago I started to work for a yoga retreat, and for them, I designed all indoor and outdoor spaces of the property.
  thanks to this work I begin to get closer to the world of yoga, and I start to get further and further away from my old world.
  I am Buddhist for 25 years, I was being a vegetarian for more than 25 years and now I am vegan.
  I practice yoga for 12 years and I am a yoga Kundalini teacher registered at RYS yoga alliance for more than three year; I practice and teach silence meditation, dynamic meditation, mantra meditation.
  I graduate as an art teacher and I am voluntary like a yoga and art teacher for children.
  I paid my University doing the dog sitter in Milan so I really really love all the animals (i have just a problem with rats).
  Fabrizio:
  I am a happy person and I love nature, animals, traveling and meeting people.
  I worked in Ikea for 12 years as a logistic responsible; I practice yoga (Hatha and Kundalini) for 8 years and I do massage for more than 3 years (relaxing/rebalancing massages) and I approached the Ayurveda too.
  I practice a foot reflexology course in 2023 certificate by ISMET school.
  I am vegetarian for 8 years and I like to cook (most of the time vegan, without gluten).
  In Barcelona we rented rooms for tourists in our apartment, we managed them, and we took care of the cleaning, check-in, check-out.
  I managed rooms in other apartments too.
  
  We are renovating a farmhouse with 25 hectares of land in Guardiola de Font Rubì, a wonderful place in the hills of Penedes, where the best Cava of Spain is produced, a few kilometers from Vilafranca, less than one hour from Barcelona and about 30 minutes from the beaches of Sitges.
  
  The farmhouse can be reached by train from Barcelona or other places to Vilafranca del Penedes and then there is a bus stop where you can take a bus to our house or we can pick you up by our car to help you.
  
  We opened a yoga and meditation retreat center and we organize various activities in the forest too.
  
  For the moment we do not need people who are looking only for accommodation to sleep and eat, we do not have the possibility to keep them!
  
  We have two lovely cats with us! Cosmo and Filippo...and a dog...Enya.

  We are looking for respectful, energetically positive, and responsible people!
  At the moment we need a guy voluteer 🙋‍♂️, better from Italy (because it is better for the communication), from June to September, who can help Fabrizio in the kitchen and in the house when there are retreats. We need a guy just because we organize men retreats too in the summer time, so it is better to have a boy.
  He must be quick when necessary, good at cleaning, willing and when there are no people in the center also work in the garden / woods.
  We can also pay something monthly but we need the jobs done well, please!
  If the connection between us is good we are happy to host you all the summer time, otherwise after few days we can interrupt the volunteering, without having hard feelings for both 🙏
  We are very easygoing, but we need someone who can keep up with us during the summer time.
  
  
  At other times this is what we would need:
  We are looking for respectful, energetically positive, and responsible people!
  
  As a help, WE NEED AN ELECTRICIAN, A PLUMBER, A BRICKLAYER AND SOMEONE WHO HELP US TO IMPROVE OUR SPANISH AND ENGLISH.
  
  We want to create an eco-sustainable house!
  
  You must be a person interested in yoga and meditation, and interested in practicing them.
  We are not interested in people who only need to come to sleep and eat ... we are creating a place of meditation where respect, love, and harmony are the basis of our project.

  The meals offered are breakfast, lunch, and dinner. During the day you can eat fruit and drink herbal teas.
