A day at the Ashram

No two days are exactly the same but every day has a rhythm.

Early mornings, a shared breakfast with a view, and a circle where the day takes shape together. Then a few hours of real work - cooking, cleaning, building, gardening - the kind that leaves you tired in a good way. After lunch, time to rest, wander, or just be. And as the sun goes down, a learning circle, a workshop, or a conversation that stays with you. Dinner together. Then a film, a game, or nothing at all.

Good Question

Do I have to be LGBTQ+ to join?

The Queer Ashram is a queer-centered space. LGBTQ+ folks are our primary community, but open-hearted allies who genuinely respect and embrace queer culture are welcome too.

What language is the program in?

The program runs primarily in English.

Can I work remotely during my stay?

The program can be combined with remote work, though it can be challenging to balance both. We encourage participants to fully immerse themselves in the experience.

What does a typical workday look like?

Mornings start with a shared breakfast and a circle where the day takes shape together. Then a few hours of hands-on work: gardening, cooking, building, or cleaning. Afternoons are mostly free, though some shifts extend into the afternoon or evening, especially in the kitchen. Evenings bring a learning session or workshop, dinner, and time together.

Can I come alone?

Most people do. It's part of the magic.

How do I get there?

We're located one hour from Barcelona and 35 minutes from Girona. The nearest train station is Sils, about 20 minutes away. We're happy to help planning your arrival.

What if I need to leave early?

We ask for full commitment to your stay. If something unexpected comes up, reach out and we'll find a solution together.
