Seva - Volunteering

SEVA

Seva means ‘selfless service’ and refers to service offered without the expectation of reward or gain. When offered from the heart in this way, seva can be a powerful form of spiritual practice. For a longer explication please visit yogapedia.com.

Please notice that at this time we are only looking for long term family members (2months minimum) who have:

  • Some experience and understanding what this kind of project is about
  • Financial freedom
  • Want to be part of a core team to manage the project together

We are particularly looking for some being good at social media (could help from home) and also someone working with photography / video.

To anyone showing interest in coming to stay nearby, visit and experience 

“Finca Luz Serena” in Bajamar (Tenerife, Spain), we would love to share with you some of the background of this project to get a better understanding of what we are standing for:

We are investing our energy and finances to create an environment where people can learn and get inspired in many ways about sustainable living and its creative possibilities. Please visit (if you haven’t yet) the vision page in depth for the details.
We have launched a crowd-funding campaign (in which you are welcome to contribute) although until now most of resources came from the founders, and we are really looking forward to share and co-create the project with really motivated people, even looking for co-owners.

For this reason we are not offering a regular work ex-change program but rather sharing our lifestyle including diet, yoga and other healthy and consciousness raising activities and asking for people that come to do Seva to have a clear idea and motivation of what they would love to contribute while they come here.

Here the timetable we use to work with although it might differ:

  • Not always: Sunrise: Agni hotra
  • After that: yoga (one hour) (the days we can with our busy schedule, sometimes it is chi-kung if the yoga platform is wet from rain)
  • Then: first meal of the day at 2PM and small sharing circle
  • Then creative space where everyone can contribute and focus on their own gifts towards the farm (with some free time if needed)
  • Second meal of the day at 7:30PM
  • Sunset: Agni hotra
  • After that: free time and sometimes: chanting and meditation
  • Two days a week free to flow

Through some years of experience working with volunteers (santuariosalud.jimdo.com), we really prefer to welcome beings who like to do Seva with a sense of engagement and motivation. Communicating regularly is important during your stay so the balance feels right for everyone.
We recommend a donation to our association of 250€ per month to mainly cover food (good quality), gas for cooking and shower, transportation expenses and you are most welcome to participate in the Yoga, Meditation, Agni hotra and whatever activity we are doing at the farm. If some money is not used for the listed purposes, it will be made available for any future improvements of the place. If this is financially too much of a stretch for you, please find another project that would suit to your situation.

The farm is strictly vegetarian, free of alcohol, junk-food, drugs (including Marijuana) and Tobacco. Please do not come if you have any of these addictions and have no will to overcome it.

Please also bring and use only natural products for your hygiene, washing clothes etc…

Here again our exchange program on a clear view:

What we offer:
-A simple place to stay nearby the farm, at walking distance from the ocean.
-Hot Shower
-2 healthy, vegetarian, whole food, local grown veggies meals (1PM and 7PM) a day including good oil and some super foods and spices
-When we do it: Agni hotra
-When we do it, we love to share Yoga
-Learning as you go about sustainable living, Permaculture, plants in the sub-tropics, etc
-Lots of information about Tenerife
-Networking with lots of beautiful like-minded people and projects

What we require:

-Sincere motivation
-Have a clear contribution plan
-Participate approximately 25 hours per week in making the farm a better place (basic tasks need to be taken care of every day)
-Not to use or being under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs (includes Cannabis!) during my stay at the farm (this includes outside the farm while you stay with us too, please don’t come if you can’t commit to that)
-Make a recommended donation of 250€ that is not refundable to mainly cover foods and general running costs of the farm such as gas, water and general maintenance which makes the project possible (in the exceptional case we agree that you come for less than a month but the recommended donation remains the same).
-Tent (we provide nice mattress).
-A deposit of 20€ for Sheets, blankets, pillow and a towel, that would be returned If washed and arranged at the end of the stay.
-Preferably not having been injected with the experimental jab (wrongly called vaccine) against Covid
-To fill up the seva form (here after)
-Be honest and Share who you are

If you like, you can also have a look at our guidelines on this sheets page.

It is possible that after a few weeks we can make other arrangements if there is an interest for it.

How to apply:

First contact us to show your interest in coming: emailmail@serenelightgardens.org or phone: +34654579155.

Thank you

The Project Since 2016

We have the advantages to be close to the village of bajamar (natural pools, nice walks towards the Anaga mountains, health food shop, bus stop, cafés etc) but the inconvenience is the proximity of a busy road but it’s noise is been covered more and more by the singing of the birds attracted by the regenerative process. The other element to permaculture that is at the core of what we align with and welcome is community. Although we bought this land in order to get closer to our vision, this vision also includes co-creating with beings who align with the core principles of permaculture and spirituality.

We are open to exploring and co-creating with like-minded individuals who would love to come and join this project. We invite those who resonate with exploring another way of being in this world to reach out to us and let’s see how we can co-create and collaborate to create a beautiful community together.
