Program details
Karma yoga work exchange and volunteer opportunity in Belgium
Akasha Retreat Center is located near the German and Dutch border in a beautiful old monastery, surrounded by nature in Belgium. The area is not only known for its spring blossoms and fruit trees, but also for its rich prehistoric, Roman and medieval history. The building of the retreat center itself is a small old nun monastery which was a part of the property of a nearby castle called Hex. It’s a peaceful and relaxing place where you can reconnect with the yourself and Mother Nature.
About the volunteer & work exchange program
Life in Akasha Retreat Center revolves around the spirit of ‘karma yoga’. If you want to learn and deepen the qualities of service and love, you are welcome to apply for joining as a volunteer.
Volunteers work an average of 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Motivated people with a flexible attitude, clear commitment and spiritual aspiration to deepen in meditation, yoga and/or sound healing are expected to apply for this long term opportunity. The minimum lenght of your stay would be one month, but preferably you would stay three months.
Your responsibilites
Depending on your interests and talents, you can work in specific fields, but your help might be needed in different fields such as:
vegan cooking,
cleaning and housekeeping,
gardening,
picking up/dropping off guests from nearby train station,
welcoming guests,
occasionally marketing/bookings,
