Volunteer work in Italy – requirements & tasks

Founded in 1987, Osho Nirvesha is a community built on a love for the mystic Osho and a shared journey of self-discovery. Here, you can connect authentically with yourself and others, fostering genuine human connection. We offer a variety of meditations to support your inner growth, all within a supportive environment where you can truly be yourself.

We believe in the power of living together with love, creativity, and respect for nature. At Osho Nirvesha, we embrace meditation, self-discovery, and joyful living as pathways to personal growth. Our community thrives on open communication, collaboration, and genuine connection.

Feel free to stay with us for a minimum of two weeks, or longer if you find yourself drawn to our community and the journey of inner growth.

The location

Nestled at the foot of the Macchia della Magona, just 6 km from the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, our center includes a small, 6-hectare farm. Located near the charming village of Bibbona, along the renowned Bolgheri wine route, we enjoy a tranquil setting where we produce our own olive oil, jams, herb salts, and firewood.

Osho Nirvesha is a haven of peace nestled in the heart of Tuscany. Far from the crowds and noise, our center is surrounded by 6 hectares of pristine countryside, with meadows, forests, and abundant olive and fruit trees. Explore the nearby hills on foot, or venture further afield to discover Tuscan gems like Florence, Siena, and Pisa. Here, the gentle climate, sea breeze, and tranquil natural beauty create the perfect environment for relaxation, meditation, and inner exploration.

Responsibilities

Immerse yourself in nature and contribute to our sustainable lifestyle. Your helping hands will be welcomed in caring for our 250 olive trees and 50 fruit trees, tending the vibrant herb garden, and gathering firewood in our beautiful park with its ancient trees.

You’ll work for about 30 hours per week.
