🌿 Olive Picking at Monte Ventosa – A Two-Week Retreat of Connection, Nature, and Community 🌿

Join us at Monte Ventosa, a peaceful haven surrounded by hills, forest, and olive groves, for a unique hands-on experience: harvesting olives from 300 beautiful trees.

We invite you to stay a minimum of two weeks to fully immerse yourself in the rhythm of the land, the community, and yourself. Our dates are flexible – arrive when it feels right for you.

🫒 The Work

Each day, we’ll gently tend to the olive trees, collecting their fruit in the golden light. It’s meaningful, physical work – and deeply rewarding. No experience necessary, just a good attitude and willingness to help.

🍽 Nourishment

We provide two delicious meals a day – lunch and dinner. On hot days, we’ll keep it fresh and light with salads and fish. Expect wholesome, seasonal food prepared with love.

🌅 Mornings for You

Begin your day with bioenergetic breathwork, bodywork, and Qi Gong led by Janin. These gentle practices awaken your body, calm your mind, and set a grounded tone for the day ahead.

🌳 Reconnect with Nature

Take time to relax and recharge:

• Practice forest bathing in the nearby woods

• Chill out by our quiet lake – or even go for a swim if you’re feeling brave!

🎶 Evenings of Sharing & Fun

As the sun sets, gather for live music (if you’ve got the groove!), games, and time to connect with others. This is a place to share your stories, feelings, and presence with like-hearted people from around the world.

Whether you’re looking to disconnect from the hustle, connect more deeply with yourself and others, or just try something completely different – Monte Ventosa welcomes you.

Come when you can. Stay at least two weeks. Leave feeling great.

We can’t wait to meet you 💚
