Program Details

We are taking the first steps towards building a nature-based, interdisciplinary retreat center in the mountains of Andalusia dedicated to transformational life development, authentic relationships, personal empowerment and purpose. The vision is to create a space that blends together reconnecting with nature with a no-BS coaching approach that enables radical honesty, authentic connection, and deep inner work assisted by a very caring team of facilitators – rooted in both professional training and lived experience.

The farm is located in a beautiful, secluded valley nestled in the mountains of Andalusia - near the cosmopolitan town of Órgiva, known as the capital of the Alpujarra region. The 20-hectare property has several dwellings, a large yurt, and it is crossed by a river which irrigates hundreds of centenary olive trees. There are also many other fruit trees (such as almond, avocados, khaki and apple), vegetable gardens, and a large pool. Everything is completely off-grid (solar power, compost toilets, etc.) The closest village, Bayacas, is a 10-minute walk from the farm. Both Órgiva and Bayacas offer lots of opportunities to get involved in workshops, volunteer days, community events and fiestas outside of the farm.

Accommodation
Several individual small stone and strawbale houses, in the depths of nature, all with separate cooking facilities, compost toilets, solar power and shared solar hot water showering facilities. Suitable for couples, friends or individuals.

Volunteers are expected to keep the house they stay in clean and leave it as they found it when their stay finishes.


Activities & Shift

Volunteers help 4.5 hrs per day, 5 days per week, in exchange for housing and food, and sharing this unique piece of nature and way of life.


Rules

We cannot accept volunteers with drug or alcohol habits.
If you have any mental or physical health issues please let us know so we can assess if this is the right place for you (including allergies, special dietary requirements etc.)
