Work Exchange at Gaia Sagrada

Our work exchange program is a great experience! Four work exchange positions per month are open. Gaia Sagrada sleeps 46 people.
Pay only $35 per week to be here and work 25 hours per week for housing, food and all activities except ceremonies. (Ceremonies extra.)
During retreats, it’s fun, exciting, and you’ll meet great people from all over the world. You’ll meet a whole new set of lifelong friends. The retreats are a transformational experience with a lot of magical experiences for everyone. You are welcome to sit in on the sharing sessions and be part of it all.
Between retreats it is just you and a few people, very restful. Between retreats everyone buys and cooks their own food and just relaxes when no retreats are happening, no pressure! Some preparation in the kitchen is done for the next retreat, gardening, changing out rooms, painting stencils on the walls, and other non-time sensitive work. Use this time for writing, relaxing, hanging out, and self introspection. Then we kick it into high gear again during the retreats!
Work exchange commitment is a minimum of 2 months. On your tourist visa you can stay as long as 3 months in Ecuador.  If you want to stay longer, you can apply for a visa extension and stay for a total of 6-9 months per year in Ecuador. For more information, Passport and Entry.

Shamanic Ceremonies

If you want to participate in the ceremonies, there are two ways you can do this.
If you want to do all the ceremonies in the first month you are here, sign up for the retreat and do the $200 discount of 25 hours per week work exchange ($875 dorm – $200 = $675). Must come a little early and stay a couple days after in order to do most of the hours before or after the retreat when we really need your help. This is the short work exchange option for two weeks. Then stay for more work exchange time if you like.
If you don’t have the money to do a full retreat when you first come and you can commit to two months, work the first retreat and then sign up for ceremonies in the second retreat for the special work exchange price of $95 per ceremony on your second month. We are limited on space, some retreats are more full than others, but we will always try to find room for you!

Let’s Get To Know Each Other

First 2 weeks is a trial period in which either party, you or Gaia Sagrada, can nullify the agreement and part ways. If it doesn’t work out for you here, you can leave, or if there are problems, we reserve the right to ask you to leave, so be nice to everyone!
We are looking for people who get along with others, don’t create drama, and are helpful and supportive to Gaia Sagrada’s vision. These retreats create a true family atmosphere where everyone feels supported, safe and nurtured. If you have a good heart, a good attitude and some humor, you’ll fit right in!
