he work-exchange program is an opportunity to go on a spiritual journey in PachaMama while paying a substantial part of the cost through work.
It’s a way to combine meditation with work and participate in the activities in the village.
Participants in the program have to commit for at least one month and maximum for three months. Priority will be given to applicants who commit for the full three months. Be aware that the offer is for first-time visitors to PachaMama only. The average age for work-exchangers should be between 20-35 years.
There is a small communal kitchen, close to the dining area, for people who wish to buy and prepare their own food. Please bring a passport photo of yourself, since we will prepare you a card so the restaurant staff will recognize that you are on the work-exchange program.
Notice that you cannot do the Transformation Cycle if you join the work-exchange program, simply because you would not have time to work while participating in this 5-week intensive cycle.
PachaMama operates on an alternative frequency based on the spiritual work that takes place here. It is essential to participate in the Silent Sitting to tune into that frequency.
The daily Silent Sitting meditation is the very cornerstone of PachaMama. In that hour all activities in the village cease and we turn the attention inside ourselves. The meditation takes place in the Osho Hall every evening between 6:30 and 7:30. We refer to it as the ‘daily inner shower.’
Be aware that PachaMama is a non-smoking zone.
