Volunteer Announcement
Hi, I’m Ana, and I have been dreaming of opening a space for Yoga, Meditation and other holistic therapies since I was a teenager. After an incredible journey now is the time to branch out into new ventures and focus on developing a retreat centre focusing on offers a space for holistic therapies, yoga and meditation. We live in a large 270-year-old Spanish farmhouse on top of the Sierra de Enguera with 62 hectares of pasture land, with various fruit and nut trees, outstanding views, hikes and mountain wildlife.
As a small gesture of gratitude, we offer free yoga classes and tuition to all volunteers who wish to participate.
What philosophy and methods describe our retreat start-up project?
We cannot explain our philosophy better than this.
โMay all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.โ – Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Why are we offering a volunteer program?
After three incredible years of hosting volunteers with our last project, we know just how fulfiling it is for both sides. We love helping and watching people develop when immersed into a different way of living and the exchange of help offered in return is so very gratefully received.
The volunteer project has the following objectives.
- Restore the house to its full potential – cosmetics only… ๐
- Help continue developing the vision of the project.
- Generate knowledge exchange networks with people interested in the retreat world.
- Cuddle the cats.
How does the volunteer program work?
This project is designed to give you maximum immersion into life in the Spanish mountains in a really old Spanish farmhouse. We live in somewhat luxury compared to normal houses on the mountain; here there’s great wifi, 240volt electricity fed by solar panels, and sufficient water. Also, we study and help in the development of the retreat centre three-five hours a day, five days a week.
What benefits does the Volunteer receive?
- Develop knowledge of the Sierra de Enguera and the surrounding areas
- Feel part of the communal way of life
- Learn how to manage the inner workings of a small business startup

Why do you have age restriction…?
In my own experience, only after 45-50 you realize what really matters.
Age is a society restriction that, unfortunately, discriminates.
Obviously you should consider physical autonomy, but not discard experience and willingness to help.
Una pena ante un proyecto tan prometedor!
I agree! I am 53 this year but looking 10 years younger and as fit as a 30 year old! I find it discriminative too that you only consider people to age 45. May I ask why is that?
I would have applied as I think I could have offered some life experiences. I speak 4 languages, Yoga teacher, Reiki Master, Mindfulness diploma and a student of the Buddhist Viahra centre in London. Currently training as a Counsellor to complete my well-being repertoire.
Thanks and regards,
Hello dear friend!

I agree with the other comments. I was very surprised to see the age discrimination both for the under 27โs and the over 45โs. Perhaps the organisers should mediate on this and reach some Enlightenment.
100% agree with above comments in relation to discriminatory age limit. I am a fit 53 year old, practicing yoga for many years and would have loved to volunteer, so disappointed to see such an agest, closed minded attitude, maybe not the place for me after all.
