Meditation Retreat Volunteer: Tasks & Roles

At Osho Nirvesha, your assistance will be invaluable in caring for the land and maintaining the centre. You will be involved in the care and harvest of 250 olive trees, tending to 50 fruit trees, and managing the herb garden.

Housekeeping and general upkeep of the houses and land are also important tasks, ensuring the environment remains comfortable and sustainable for all.

Meditation Retreat Volunteer: Living & Getting There

Accommodation is provided in shared spaces within the houses, with communal bathrooms. During the summer, there are also wooden huts and tent areas under the trees, allowing for a more rustic experience. Meals are vegetarian, shared communally, and the atmosphere varies, at times lively with many people and other times more serene with just a few. An internet connection is available, and multiple languages are spoken at the centre.

To reach Osho Nirvesha, you can travel by train to Cecina, either from Florence, Genoa, or Rome. The nearest airport is Pisa, from where you can take a train to Cecina. Once in Cecina, you will be picked up and brought to the centre. If travelling by car, follow directions from Livorno or Grosseto to Bibbona, and the centre is just a short drive away.
