Travail
You will work mainly in the monastery complex and prepare some parts of it for reconstruction (for example removing old plaster or pulling out old floors). You will also help in the monastery orchards (removing invasive plants, piling up hay, landscaping, gardening, etc.). The work will be varied and adjusted to the physical abilities of the volunteers. The place of work will always be within 15 minutes walk from the accommodation. You will work about 6 hours a day, depending on the weather from 9 am to 4 pm, with an hour-long lunch break. If it gets too hot, a longer lunch break or the earlier start of the work might be arranged in agreement with other volunteers.
Logement & nourriture
You will be accommodated in the monastery on mattresses but you can bring your own hammock/camping mat and sleep outside. Everyone is required to bring a sleeping bag! There is a shower and a toilet inside the building and two more showers and four dry toilets outside. Wifi is available. Because of environmental and ethical reasons this workcamp is vegetarian/vegan. Usually, two volunteers from the team cook a meal for others. Bring your favorite recipes.
