Villa Vrindavana serves as a vaishnava center dedicated to offering spiritual retreats to individuals from all walks of life, irrespective of gender, race, or background. They facilitate numerous yoga retreats, seminars, courses, and festivals, welcoming international guests and groups eager to engage in diverse events. Villa Vrindavana aligns spiritually with the ISKCON monotheistic tradition of the Gaudiya Vaishnava Lineage, rooted in the ancient Vedic Culture of India. Each ISKCON center operates with its own independent economy.
There are various opportunities for the volunteers to engage in yoga, meditation (japa) and other spiritual activities in addition to performing the required daily tasks such as helping with general maintenance, cleaning the kitchen and common areas, care of the garden, orchard, cows, etc.
The accommodation is a shared dormitory between people of the same gender. We offer three vegetarian meals (with some vegan options) per day.
Volunteers must help for at least 5 hours a day, 6 days a week. The day off per week must be established with the service manager in accordance with the needs.
The minimum period they can stay is two weeks, renewable if both parties are satisfied, up to a maximum of two months, but this is subject to the volunteer’s desire to experience ashram life on a deeper level.
During the summer you can also swim in our natural lake located between the fields and the forest.
GUYS, it’s a deep learning experience! We offer a different lifestyle, intercultural exchanges, practice of different languages. Our place is unique because it is multicultural as there are many people from all over the world. You will definitely come out enriched!
The place is easily accessible by bus from Florence. As will be explained to you in detail later.
Volunteers will help us in different ways; with cleaning up on our farm, helping us with farming, gardening or with the cows. Sometimes we need someone to help us in the kitchen and with the maintenance of the place. In the community kitchen the volunteers will not cook directly, but will only help keep it clean, wash the pots and the floor with the assistance of a supervisor. Whenever possible, volunteers will be able to carry out the services together.
Since this is a community that spreads non-violence and a virtuous lifestyle, it is not allowed to eat meat, fish or eggs, drink alcohol or take drugs or any stimulant or intoxicating substance.
The dress code must be appropriate to the spiritual place it is; therefore women are not accepted to dress in shorts or short skirts, with low-cut and sleeveless shirts and with clothes that are too tight. Men are not allowed to go around bare chested or in a tank top. Please note that we do not provide towels.
We welcome all honest, friendly and hardworking helpers in exchange for a beautiful and unique experience.
