Program Details

Welcome to Ṛta Van, the first living campus of TodoForest. This is not a hostel or a commercial farm—it is a living project where people come together to regenerate the land, learn from nature, and experience community living.

As a volunteer, you’ll work alongside our small team while enjoying a peaceful riverside environment. We value curiosity, responsibility, initiative, and respect for people, animals, and nature. Daily yoga classes are available to all volunteers, and we encourage everyone to take part in community life.


Activities & Shift

Volunteers work approximately 20–25 hours per week with three days off. Tasks vary with the season and may include gardening, tree planting, caring for the food forest, composting, ecological restoration, natural building projects, and general outdoor work.

Every day is a little different, giving you the opportunity to learn by doing while contributing to the long-term development of Ṛta Van. Work is shared as a team, and guidance is always provided.
