Volunteers Program at Finca Sagrada
We welcome farming students, graduates, or anyone who wants to experience life in a sacred space and learn some sustainable farming.
The Finca Sagrada Volunteer program is an opportunity to witness the life of a community that operates at a level of unity consciousness of love, plus practicing farming skills in the area of your interest.
Finca Sagrada is not only a place to learn farming, it is also a lifetime experience to witness first hand how a community can live in harmony with other people and nature.

3- You will be part of the community lunch times, where everyone on the farm breathes, receives, celebrates, shares and consolidates the spirit of community. Food is great here!
4- We rotate do make breakfast and dinner. The more volunteers are there at a given moment, the less times a week you will be asked to prepare these meals.

10 -The monthly fee you will be expected to cover is 300USD. Partial scholarship is available to those who qualify.
11- If after your stay, the land whispers "Stay!" and you don't have any particular educational needs, there are options to be explored. Depending on the value of your contribution and the current needs of the farm, we are open to co create a win-win arrangement with you.
12- You will be immersed in a sacred space with lots of possibilities to connect with Mother Nature, remember, be nourished and recover. Walking, playing, dancing, listening to life, sharing in circle are a few ways. The House of Original Thought is a powerful place for connecting to the universe and stars through silence, drumming or sharing.
13- Keep in mind that the general vibe of Finca Sagrada, while it is cheerful and positive, is pretty much a space of contemplation and reconnection with nature. Alcohol is not forbidden but it is required moderation while consuming it.
14- The Community who lives here, though not religious, is very spiritual. We hold hands and say grace every day before lunch, and do 6am ceremony to honor the Sun rising.
15- Finca Sagrada is very remote. Vilcabamba is a lovely day trip starting with a scenic walk to Tumianuma to catch the bus. (approximate travel time is 90 min). Or you can walk an amazing trail (3-4 hours). Vilcabamba offers most conveniences you might want for snacks and personal items.
16- The finca offers magical nights that are intensely starry. The fireflies (very abundant here) make it an unforgettable night show.
