Ananda Forest

Volunteering

Program

Grounded in the vision of unity, while celebrating diversity, we welcome you in Ananda Forest. Karma yoga is more then just a volunteering exchange; it is a way of dedicating our actions to serve, awaken and love.

We are looking for people who like to serve from a Pure intention, and like to unite Heaven and Earth/ the Spiritiual and hands-on practical dimension of life. Join us on our adventure.

The Work

A yoga retreat center requires a lot of different skills and we invite you to be part of the organism. Daily work depends on what skills you have or what you’d like to do (or learn how to do).
 

We are looking for people with the following skills:
 

  • Cooking (during our retreat season)

  • Permaculture and gardening (year round)

  • Carpentry & maintenance

  • Housekeeping & cleaning (year round)

 

During low season (November to April)
3 hours of work per day in exchange for a well-equipped private tent and access to all our facilities. Everyone is providing for their own food and working hours are reduced to 3h/day. We encourage still sharing meals regularly, and co-creating an uplifting space and/or workshops together.

​

During Retreat Season (April till October)
5 hours of work per day in exchange for meals, a well equipped tent, joining many yoga classes and sessions for free and access to all our facilities.

​

For both options, the schedule is 5 working days followed by 2 days off.

We like for people to stay for a minimum of 4 weeks to become part of our community.
