The path of awakening, compassion and responsibility toward all beings in Andong, South Korea

  Description

  ⚠️ Attention: We are currently looking for a Workawayer who can stay for at least one month between August and the end of October for house and dog sitting.
  As we live in a remote mountain area near Andong, South Korea, having an International Driving Permit is convenient, but not essential. You can also reach us by bus. However, because we live in a remote area, there are only a few buses between our village and downtown Andong, and the journey takes some time. If you don't plan to go into town very often, this is usually not a problem.
  Your main responsibilities will include:
  - Caring for our dogs by providing fresh food and water, companionship, love, and attention every day.
  - Watering and looking after the garden.
  - Helping keep the house and surrounding property clean, tidy, and well maintained.
  We share our peaceful mountain home with several dogs and a small organic garden. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys nature, animals, and a quiet lifestyle.
  ☀️For July, we accept shorter stays of 3–8 days.**
  
  For more than ten years, this old rural home has been lovingly restored and cared for through continuous personal effort, creating a peaceful place rooted in simplicity, mindfulness, and harmony with nature.
  Daily life here is centered around vegan living, gardening, meditation, tea, and conscious conversations.
  Living here also means participating in the ongoing care of the home, the land, and the animals. This is a living environment that requires daily attention, responsibility, and a willingness to contribute.
  We value sincerity, maturity, mindfulness about yourself, responsibility, gratitude, and mutual respect far more than skills or experience.
  This place is best suited to people who genuinely wish to participate, contribute, learn, and share everyday life with awareness, sincerity, and a willingness to do physical work. It may not be suitable for those primarily seeking free accommodation, tourism, passive spiritual experiences, for a minimum possible involvement in shared responsibilities.
  Because we value depth, balance, and a peaceful atmosphere, we usually welcome only one volunteer at a time for a short stay, allowing for a quieter and more meaningful experience for everyone.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Here, volunteers learn to live sustainably and in harmony with the natural world,
  to confront the ego fearlessly and without illusion, and to discover a deeper purpose beyond identity, status, or recognition.
  They also learn how to honor and respect hosts
  who have endured profound challenges in life, and through perseverance have cultivated their own path, abilities, and sanctuary. True kindness and openness should never be mistaken for the absence of wisdom, boundaries, or responsibility. True gratitude does not simply end when one’s time as a Workawayer is completed.
  It continues through respect, sincerity, and the living connection carried forward beyond the stay.
  
  🌟This is a place of mutual respect, awareness, and conscious living and deep and hard spritual work.

  Aide

  ⭐️We are looking only for individuals who are exceptionally rare ,those who carry innate inner skills of deep responsibility of life, clarity, 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.☀️

  Hébergement

  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.

  About This Place ☀️
  
  This place was restored over the course of more than 10 years through continuous dedication, physical labor, and sincere care.
  When we first found it, it was an abandoned and neglected rural home that few people wanted to take responsibility for anymore.
  While others saw only decay and difficulty, we saw quiet potential and the possibility for renewal.
  Without outside support or financial backing, we slowly rebuilt and cared for this place ourselves over many years.
  Every garden path, repaired space, tree, and peaceful corner reflects countless hours of effort, perseverance, and commitment.
  In many ways, this place represents the deeper spirit of what we value:
  to recognize worth where it has been forgotten,
  to restore dignity where life has become disconnected,
  and to create a space where people can reconnect with nature, simplicity, awareness, and all living beings.
  
  This is not a commercial retreat or entertainment spritual based one time experience.
  It is a simple and conscious way of living rooted in mutual respect, responsibility, mindfulness, and harmony with nature.
  
  What We Share Together ☀️
  
  • A simple and mindful way of living close to nature
  • Shared vegan meals prepared with care
  • Mostly organic ingredients from the garden and local surroundings when available
  • Tea, conversation, and moments of quiet presence
  • Peaceful accommodation in a natural rural environment
  • Opportunities to learn through daily life, awareness, responsibility, and mutual respect
  • Pickup from Andong station or terminal when arrival is before 16:00 (4 PM)
  
  This is a space of shared participation rather than passive hosting. We value sincerity, maturity, gratitude, and consciousness and hard working.
  We usually welcome only one volunteer at a time, and stays are generally limited to 7–14 days.
  Please note that transportation here requires approximately a 2 hour round trip drive, and public transportation in the area is limited.
  During your stay, we may occasionally share an outing together whether into nature, a cultural or spiritual place, a local event, or wherever the natural flow of the moment leads.
  
  ⭐️True gratitude does not simply end when one’s stay is completed.
  It continues through respect, sincerity, and the living connection carried forward beyond this place.⭐️
