Become the Heart of VeranisRetreat: Volunteering as a Path Home

Have you ever felt like your soul is searching for a place where you don't have to explain yourself?

Where you can simply be, breathe in unison with nature, and know that you are accepted completely—with all your shadows, sparks, and dreams?

VeranisRetreat is more than just a location. It's a living organism that we create together. We invite you to become not just assistants, but co-creators of our safe haven. Volunteering with us is an exchange of energy: you give your hands and time, and in return you receive space for deep healing, radical self-expression, and finding the family you choose with your heart.

Why will it change your life?

This isn't a job "for food and shelter." It's immersion in a unique ecosystem where every gesture matters:

Radical Acceptance: Here, your queer identity is your strength. We create a space free of judgment, where everyone feels safe. Connect with the Earth: You'll work in the garden, prepare flavorful meals, or help with home improvements, feeling a direct connection with the cycles of nature. This is the perfect way to ground yourself when the hustle and bustle of the city has drained you.

Community of Kindred Spirits: You'll meet people who see the world through the same eyes. Evening campfires, deep conversations under the stars, and shared practices create bonds that last a lifetime.

What We're Looking for (and What We Offer in Return)

We're looking for those who are willing to put love into what they do. Your skills are important to us, but your presence is even more important.

What You'll Do / What You'll Get

Space Care: Help with the garden, light repairs, and creating a cozy atmosphere.

Accommodation: A cozy space in our retreat, surrounded by silence.

Culinary Magic: Participation in the preparation of vegan/vegetarian meals.

Meals: Delicious, healthy, and conscious food made from locally sourced ingredients.

Event Support: Assistance in organizing workshops and circles.

Practices: Access to yoga, meditation, and all internal events.

"I came here to help build a fence, but ended up rebuilding my inner boundaries. VeranisRetreat is a place where you realize: you are good enough." — One of our past volunteers.
