If you stay for more than two weeks, you will have a day off to rest and relax on Sundays.
You will be sure to discover new skills with your stay as well as connect with nature, meet people from all over the world and learn about life in the village.
What to do in your free time:
In the afternoon you can
participate in the activities of the Eco Village: Hatha Yoga and relaxation,
meditation with Tibetan bowls, music therapy with oriental instruments,
Pranayama workshop, nature walks, bonfires and films on a projector, etc.
I don’t want to pay a donation/ Why do I pay a
donation?
We ask all volunteers to contribute
a small donation to the village because we are a monastic community and we do
not generate any outside income. The donations go towards covering the cost of
your stay including food and materials. Varsana does not profit from any of the
donations, but they do help to support our way of life allowing volunteers to
come and stay with us and experience time at our eco-village.
Food and accommodation:
We provide
volunteers with comfortable accommodation in female or male dorms which include
linen, hot water, and wifi. There is also a cozy common area for you to relax
and chat with other volunteers.
You will
receive three delicious vegetarian and/or meals a day during your stay.
Basic rules:
We ask volunteers not to bring any alcohol, drugs, meat or eggs to Varsana and to abstain from any sexual activities during their stay.
How to arrive:
Catch a bus from any of the main bus terminals in Bogota to Granada Cundinamarca.
*Beware that there is a second Granada (Meta) which is located farther, and is not the correct town!*
Currently, the bus ticket should cost you less than 10.000 COP.
The trip should take less than one hour. When you get on the bus, tell the driver that you’re going to Varsana Eco Aldea or Yoga Farm. They should let you off about 500 m after the second BIOMAX petrol station, opposite the road to Granada. You will see a sign on the right that says ‘Varsana Yoga Monasterio’.
We hope see you soon!!!
