Description
I’ve had incredible experiences with Workaway in India, France, Switzerland, Canada, England and Scotland and I look forward to adding to them in my home country this summer.
I'm in the middle of a Music Therapy MA and this summer will be about delving deeper into myself, community and my relationship with nature. I am hungry for knowledge and ideas as I start constructing a vision for how my life is going to unfold in the coming years. Let's embark on this journey together!

George was with us for 2-3 weeks during a busy part of our season. He was hard working and conscientious. He is a talented musician which fed into the rich array of talent at the project. He was able to follow instructions and work hard alone sometimes on quite tedious tasks. His commitment to completing such tasks was exemplary.

Exciting to be part of a project which is in the process of cultivating a powerful energetic space anchored in the dharma. My work included wall demolition, digging a trench and cooking for the core community during the retreat. Physically strenuous at times but regular stretching and listening to my body allowed me to enter into a dynamic and… read more

A great experience. Nothing but good vibes and people yearning to connect at this place. Varied work, plentiful food, and I stayed in a caravan in the woods which I love. First Workaway I’ve done with families and kids but we made it work.

Well what a treasure trove this place was. Daryl, Aaron and Dean made me feel so welcome and valued from the word go, teaching me a lot on a range of subjects. It came together at the last minute but I’m so glad it did. The work is physical yet invigorating, making you feel you’ve really earned the lovely meals we cooked together. Staying in a… read more

It was my great good fortune to spend 5 weeks at this place. One has certain experiences over the course of one’s lifetime that have the power to really change one’s life for the better. This was one of those experiences for me. My work consisted of varied cleaning jobs all around the Priory and this work, which you are trusted to complete… read more

(Help at a yoga retreat centre ...)
What can I say? There will never be a Workaway as good as this. Why? The people and memories will stay in my heart forever. The best food, music, bathing facilities, books, guests, fireplace and working environment with infinite possibilities for personal growth and trying out new things from new Yoga styles to 5 Rhythms. This was an angel that… read more

Beaucoup de travail à faire à la nouvelle maison, mais j'espère que j'ai fait une petite différence! Merci de m'avoir conduit à visiter Chamonix, organiser pour moi de faire du parapente et me permettant de rencontrer le reste de votre famille. Faire du vélo aux lacs pour nager chaque jour était un rêve, tout comme la découverte de la Cascade… read more

I very much enjoyed my three weeks staying with Catherine. She kindly accommodated me arriving a little earlier than planned. It was a pleasure working in the garden, helping prepare the (pro)vegan cuisine, interacting with the dogs and watching TV (with French subtitles, if possible). It was also fun meeting the people on her Permaculture course… read more

I have some great memories of my time with Naveen. He was very helpful in making sure I took the right bus from Dehradun and knew where to get off in Barkot. He introduced me to several of his friends and shared many of his passions with me. He drove me on many exhilarating motorbike rides along the Barkot-Yamunotri Road. He took me to hot springs… read more

I have deliberately waited several weeks to leave a review. This is because I wanted much more than an experience that initially galvanised me, only to return to my old ways soon after.
I want to embrace the challenge of letting go of painful childhood memories. I want to let go of judging myself for my past. I want the power to be really happy… read more
