Yogini rosa Retreats are designed for women who are confronted with breast cancer. During the 6 day retreat, they offer activities, workshops and treatments specially designed to help cope with the effects of the disease both for the body and mind. Spending time with other women on the same journey can bring a different understanding, strength and energy. It can help in the process of dealing with breast cancer. The retreat is organised by an expert team of women, and is supported by volunteers who may have experienced the effects of the disease and the treatment themselves.

About the volunteer program

Every year there are 20 Yogini rosa Retreats. During these weeks special teams are formed with expert women like you, who are able to contribute their time, energy and skills to women who need it most.With your warmth, love and specialised knowledge, you can help the guests to experience an unforgettable week. You might be a breast cancer survivor yourself or close to one and wish to help others.

Requirements

The minimum time to join the community as a volunteer is seven days. Your job will not only be in your field of expertise, but you will help when needed. The week is very intense, but you also gain a lot from the climate, the surroundings, the group and the team.

You are able to cope mentally and physically for a week with cancer survivors. You want to join the community out of interest and commitment to the guests and to the other team members. Speaking more than one language is a priority because we will also host guests from other countries.

What’s in it for You?

In exchange for your time and energy you will receive a lot gratitude, fun and love. You share a room with other volunteers on the finca. Your stay and meals on the finca, your flight and some functional expenses will be reimbursed by the Yogini rosa Foundation.
