You'll join our small team at a healing retreat in the Mexican jungle, near Puerto Morelos. In exchange for around 5 hours of work, 5/6 days a week, we offer a shared room, all meals, and full immersion in retreat life. Minimum stay: 4 weeks. You'll cook alongside our team for our guests during retreats. If we flow well together, a stable paid role may follow. We value passion, presence, and the willingness to learn and grow with us.
A typical day includes breakfast prep, lunch as the main meal, and a lighter dinner — roughly 5 hours total, with 1/2 full days off each week to explore cenotes, beaches, the jungle, or simply rest.
Tasks: menu planning with the team, prep, cooking, and keeping the kitchen alive and clean. Sometimes you'll join us for food shopping at local markets. During retreats, the rhythm is more focused; between them, it's relaxed. We cook plant-forward, fresh, and seasonal — variety and creativity are welcome.
• Respect for our space, our team, and the guests on their healing journeys.
• Strict confidentiality about anything guests share or experience here.
• No alcohol or recreational drugs on the property — we hold a sacred container.
• Be on time and present during your shifts.
• Keep the kitchen clean; honor the ingredients and the food.
• Phones are welcome on your own time, but please be present with people during work and shared meals.
• Come with an open heart. If something isn't working, talk to us — we'll do the same.
