More than just a volunteer position
Thank you for your interest and desire to come join this mystical land and share your unique magick here! We warmly welcome you to the farm!
We offer a full on transformational journey through our magical program. Our Karma Yogi Volunteer program is one of the most special things about the Mystical Yoga Farm. We are so grateful to be able to provide an opportunity for seekers to experience life in the forest, off-the-grid, living in a community setting.
Our karma yogis help with almost everything around the farm: preparing the farm for retreats and events, holding workshops, teaching classes, setting up sacred spaces for retreats and private guests, planting and harvesting, greeting guests, farm tours, occasionally cooking, holding space for one another, and contributing to the overall energy of the retreat center and community by sharing their unique gifts and light with all who come to the farm.
The exchange
Our volunteer program has a one month minimum commitment, with a possibility of staying longer if everything aligns.
To make our Karma Yogi Volunteer program possible, we do require a financial contribution toward food costs. The exchange is $500/month with 20–25 hours of karmic exchange per week.
The reason we ask our volunteers to contribute financially is so you can work fewer hours and have more time to yourself for personal growth, time to participate in the ongoing workshops (usually 5–10 per week not including daily yoga), and for experiencing the joys of the farm and the lake. This isn’t your average work away opportunity. This is more like a curated learning program with top-notch workshops and learning opportunities! So think of it more like a New Age University!
Specific work trade positions
Three month minimum, 30 hours a week (regular volunteers do about 20). If you can fill one of these roles, you will have a different exchange — you won’t be asked to pay the karma yogi $500 a month!
