This page is for anyone interested in comming to stay with us as a volunteer.
We regularly have volunteers with us, almost always 1 or two people. We have a routine which seems to work well:
8.00 meditate together
9.00 breakfast together
10-14 work period
14.00 lunch together (main meal in Spain)
then rest and the rest of the day without much structure but might include yoga or reiki or some other activity or just time to do what you fancy.
Then the evening meal we prefer just as the family, so normally you would take that food to your accommodation. However all this is flexible and negotiable, but something along those lines works well for us.
The work is also flexible and negotiable, depending on you, from cooking to working in the garden, to help looking after the trees pruning etc. to basic maintenance like painting or oiling wood and a long list of other jobs.
Accommodation: will probably be in a caravan which has a double bed, table and chairs, heating etc. , then the bathroom is either in the casita or in the main house. The caravan has amazing views and is about 150m from the house and 50m from the casita.
Generally we give the volunteers food and accomodation in exchange of their work. However if anyone wanted to spend less time working then we would ask for a contribution to the food costs.

Hola Solterreno.
My name is Lucy St.John, I'm from the UK but I'm about to head over to spend some time in Spain. I have been practising yoga for a couple of years on and off but did not have a particular connection to it until I recently spent some time at a buddhist centre in the UK and practised daily there. It brought in the mindful aspects in a way I haven't encountered before, and I'm now hoping to spend some of my time in Spain doing yoga in more natural and thoughtful settings. I will be woofing but I would love to come and volunteer with you if you have any space, I was wondering about the december/january time?
Take care,
Lucy

Hola/Ciao
I am an American college student who has been practicing yoga for seven years. I am studying dance here in Italy, and was planning on moving to Spain for the summer after my term ends on April 30th. Working here would fulfill my dreams of having an intense experience with my yoga practice after this dance program is finished. Would there be any volunteer positions available begining in May? Is there a formal application where I could apply to work here?
Thanks,
Hannah W.

Hi Wil,
Thanks for your interest in doing some volunteering here in Solterreno. We would love to have you here, your skills as a dry stone wall mason would be very useful to us.
I imagine you have read the web page which gives you an idea of how we work and what we offer in terms of meditation and yoga and now Chi Kung.
We have 3 volunteers with us at the moment so accomodation is now short. Would you be prepared to have some nights in a tent, and some in a nice bedroom?
Look forward to hearing from you. Bodhin
