Osho Nirvesha Meditation Center

Are you looking for changes in your life. You like to live and work with other people. You want to grow spiritually, to find out more about yourself and to understand better why you are here on this planet.
Our Place is a cultural association and a meditation center as well as a space for personal growth groups. It includes a small biological farm of 6 hectares situated at the foot of the Macchia della Magona and is 7 kms away from the Mediterranean Sea along the wine route to Bolgheri. The main activities are the meditation center and farming. Often we are a group of friends who wish to live together in harmony, friendship and meditation. We are 2 people sharing the place with many friends helping. It is a beautiful nature spot.
We produce olive oil, jam, herb salt and firewood for our own consumption. Your help is needed all year round, in springtime for the pruning of 250 olive trees and 50 fruit trees and in autumn for the harvest of the olives. We are tending a herb garden and produce every year marmalades, mainly figs. In the colder season, we are cutting firewood in the forest for heating the houses. Our beautiful park with ancient trees needs some grass cutting. Further jobs to be done include maintenance like small repairs and painting, helping with and learning vegetarian and traditional Italian cooking. Some help with cleaning is needed. We are glad when you introduce the new helpers.
We offer accommodation in small wooden houses on your own. In the colder season, you will have a shared room in the house with attached bathroom and a wood stove.
We offer three meals a day. We cook vegetarian and eat communally.
You can participate in active and silent meditations and watch Osho discourses and receive individual reiki, ayurvedic or counseling sessions.
Your stay should last at least 2 weeks, or longer if you fit into the center's lifestyle. Sometimes you will be surrounded by many people and sometimes by a few. Two days a week you have off. We suggest bringing good shoes.
We speak Italian, English, German and French and have an Internet connection.
You can learn about life, meditations, living with others, maintenance of houses, farming like pruning olive- and fruit trees, producing olive oil, herbsalt and marmelade, gardening, vegetarian cooking and nature.
You can participate in active and silent meditations, watch Osho discourses and receive individual reiki, ayurvedic or counseling sessions

We are caring for Osho Nirvesha since more than 30 years. We care for people with respect and love. Sometimes we are only a few , sometimes more.

I felt welcomed by both of the hosts. The instructions were clear and there was a lot of variety. Dhara is a kind, gentle methodical lady who is usually very patient. Dhara is mainly responsible for the cleanliness, and Samarona is responsible for the breakfast and the kitchen area in general.The place itself is a dream, and really helps you to connect with nature. The volunteers were an exceptional crowd of individuals, and we all really worked well as a team. The mosquitos were a problem and I would recommend everybody to come equipped.I learned a lot from the owners and the volunteers.❤️

Geraldine was a great help in whatever task she did and we had interesting conversations with her. She fitted very well with all the other volunteers. Wish you all the best in the future.

The experience was decent the jobs weren't too strenuous. And when a group is in it's all hands on deck. Wished there would have been more meditation to practice. Overall it's a decent place to be just required alot of hours from you

Not enough space to write the review I’d like to, reach out for the full review! Short version:
Loved my experience. Beautiful property, amazing volunteers, and an opportunity to slow down and connect with nature and spirituality, in different ways than expected. Dhara: warm, welcoming, joyful - the heart of Osho Nirvesha. High cleaning standards, be ready to work in detail - she’s unafraid to watch you work and make corrections.
Samarona: in his own words “never understood manners, or politeness”. Don’t take anything personally. He can be very funny, and has many good stories to tell.

This was my first experience volunteering and I am so glad I found this place. Dhara and Samarona are amazing hosts, I loved listening to their stories and spending time with them. They’re very smart and have lots of experience, you can learn so much at this place and get new perspectives. I am missing them a lot☹️ The work was never too hard! Spending time there was so peaceful, you can connect with nature and see some badgers and hares. I met the best people ever and I wish I could go back there right now. Sorry for eating so much cheese and thank you for this experience!🧀
