  Description

  We are a small and passionate project focused on sustainability, nature, and conscious living. Our 10.9-hectare agroecological reserve is located in the protected area of Cerro La Carpintera, in Costa Rica, at 1,500 meters above sea level.
  
  Our vision is to transform this space into a Yoga & Wellness Retreat Center, where people can reconnect with themselves and nature in a peaceful and inspiring environment. We are surrounded by cloud forest, fresh mountain air, and stunning views of the Central Valley and the Irazú Volcano.
  
  This is a hands-on project led by a small team that values collaboration, respect, and personal growth. We enjoy creating meaningful spaces, working with purpose, and sharing this experience with people from around the world.
  
  Hosting volunteers is an important part of our journey, as we believe in cultural exchange, learning from each other, and building something special together.

  Hébergement

  I provide a room in my house with a private bathroom, access to my kitchen with the experience of cooking together.
  We cultivate a variety of vegetables and fruit trees on our property, and we enjoy fresh eggs every day. Our goal is to share clean, healthy, and homegrown food with others. That’s why we offer these products and provide everything you need to cook and enjoy them during your stay.

  Autres infos...

  In your free time, you can explore Costa Rica's main cities, visit volcanoes and national parks, take popular dance classes, and visit beaches on weekends. All of this is done by public transportation, which is quite good in Costa Rica. My house rules include maintaining silence, keeping the house clean, not using hard drugs, not carrying weapons, and being a pet owner. You are not allowed to use high-powered electrical appliances because we have solar panels. You should not be bothered by the country life. It is important that you not bring visitors to my project.
  
  Volunteer Responsibilities
  Carry out agreed tasks responsibly and with a positive attitude.
  Respect established schedules and house rules.
  Contribute to the cleanliness of the house and work areas.
  Assist in meal preparation during designated times.
  Keep personal living space clean and in good condition.
  Communicate in advance any changes in plans, discomfort, or issues.
  Respect internal rules of the property and platform policies.
