The Experience

Here at the Xamã Institute we have several spaces still unused, one of them will be dedicated to the cultivation of mushrooms. The structure is abandoned and needs to be restored. The volunteer for this project must have skills with electrical tools and good physical condition. The Institute offers a wide variety of holistic treatments, shamanic rituals, therapies, etc... The volunteer will be able to enroll in events during their stay.

My first volunteering experience could not have been better. It was a deeply reconnecting experience with nature, with animals, and with things that make sense to me. I had contact with shamanic therapies, met people from different places who study at the center, and lived very special exchanges. The hosts were very generous and welcoming. The accommodation is good, the work is as agreed, and basic meals were also provided. It was a very rich experience and I want to return in the near future.

The Center is a beautiful space, in the midst of nature. My experience was very positive. I was very well received, and the hosts are very kind and totally connected with the proposal and the essence of volunteering. The schedules are flexible, the activities are easy to carry out and, without a doubt, one of the best parts is having the space's cats always accompanying us during the tasks. They are very gentle. I loved my experience and would definitely return! Gratitude 🧡🙏

It was really good to be at the Center, Taty and Dan are wonderful people, they welcomed me and I could learn a lot! The work was calm, the hours respected, the little house also has a great setup. In addition, the children are a love on their own ♥️. I liked it a lot and I recommend it to everyone!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a huge joy to have you here. You were an incredible volunteer, and we would also wholeheartedly recommend you.

And of course, we couldn't help but tell you how much we love Kobba! Your four-pawed fur baby is wonderful, incredibly gentle, and surely added a lot to everyone's experience here.

You two will be missed.
