Hello and welcome to the volunteer program! We’re Natalia & Eyal, a Colombian and Israeli duo who have been running an ecological and social project in the heart of the Colombian countryside for the past ten years. We’re excited to share our little paradise with you.
We live on a beautiful farm, 80 km from Bogotá, in a bamboo house nestled in the middle of a mango plantation. The weather is pleasant year-round (15°C to 30°C), with an abundance of tropical fruits and rivers within walking distance. Our main activity is hosting retreats and workshops centered on wellness, body movement, and conscious living. We also teach English at the local school and coordinate this beautiful volunteer program.
Sobre la experiencia:
This is a unique opportunity to experience an alternative lifestyle far from the modern rat race — one where abundance is cultivated through creativity, presence, and heartfelt collaboration. We believe in sharing knowledge, resources, and support generously, and we do our best to contribute to the well-being of our local community, which in turn warmly embraces us.
Volunteering here often involves physical work, and yes — you may get dirty and sweaty! If you’re not used to this type of labor, it can feel intense at first. Don’t worry — it’s normal for your body to need a couple of days to adjust. We value aesthetics, cleanliness, and order, and we kindly ask all volunteers to help maintain tidy personal and shared spaces to keep a harmonious atmosphere.
Ten en cuenta:
Living and working on a farm with a set rhythm can be a big shift, especially for travelers used to the free-flowing backpacker lifestyle. Before applying, we encourage you to reflect honestly and see if this experience feels aligned with your current path. Reading the feedback on our profile will help you understand what other volunteers have lived here.
Buscamos especialmente voluntarios que:
- Are independent and self-motivated.
- Feel comfortable with silence and spending time alone. While we share activities together, we also value personal space and inner reflection.
- Can adapt to a structured yet natural lifestyle, where not every moment is scheduled but each one has its rhythm.
Información importante:
- Daily contribution fee: $8 USD
- Weed smoking is not allowed. We strive to maintain a respectful atmosphere and uphold a positive reputation within our local community, especially due to our work with children and schools.
- Kitchen facilities are NOT available for volunteer use.
- Keep in mind that everything in nature is cyclical. Mangoes are seasonal, and so are our retreats and educational projects. Activities vary depending on the time of year and the needs of the farm.
That’s why it’s essential to arrive with an open heart and a flexible mindset, ready to embrace life as it unfolds — simple, natural, and deeply rewarding.
We can’t wait to meet you. If you have any questions or hesitations, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Warmly,
Natalia & Eyal
