Online Emotional Intelligence & Self-Development Workshops and Volunteering
Join Us on a Journey of Growth, Connection, and Purpose
At Spirit Garden, we offer more than just an online workshop—we offer a transformative journey where you’ll discover personal growth, emotional balance, and a sense of community. This is your chance to explore who you are, contribute meaningfully to something bigger than yourself, and, if you wish, join us in person as part of our vibrant community.
Whether you’re seeking personal development, meaningful experiences, or simply curious about our community, our 14-day online experience is the perfect starting point. You’ll gain practical tools to improve your emotional and mental well-being, while offering your talents to Spirit Garden in a way that fits your skills and passions.
Why Spirit Garden?
A Supportive and Personalized Start
We understand that beginning any new journey can be daunting. That’s why we’ve designed our program to be gentle, supportive, and personalized. Over the course of 14 days, you’ll take part in interactive workshops and contribute to our project with tasks that align with your strengths. Whether you’re great at writing, managing social media, or learning something completely new, your contribution will be valued.
Tailored Tasks:
You’ll dedicate up to 30 hours to tasks that match your abilities, contributing in a way that’s meaningful and enjoyable for you. No experience? No problem! We’ll guide you every step of the way.
Growth and Contribution:
You won’t just be working; you’ll also be growing. Our workshops are designed to help you explore emotional regulation, self-awareness, and the key values we hold dear at Spirit Garden: responsibility, openness, community, empowerment, and education.
Learn and Grow in Real Ways
Our workshops are not about abstract concepts but about real, practical tools that you can apply immediately in your life and within the Spirit Garden community. Through engaging sessions, you’ll learn how to manage your emotions, take responsibility for your personal growth, and stay open to new possibilities.
Personal Development Focus:
Over 30 hours of engaging workshops, you’ll dive into topics like emotional intelligence, personal responsibility, and understanding how to align your actions with Spirit Garden’s values. These are skills that will last a lifetime.
Community Connection:
You’ll also be introduced to our unique way of communicating through Fao, our community’s language that helps us express empathy, dignity, and integrity. It’s a way to deepen connection—not just with us, but also with yourself and the world around you.

Your Next Steps After the Course
Completing the 14-day program opens up exciting opportunities to continue your journey with Spirit Garden, whether you're looking to fully immerse yourself in our community or balance learning and volunteering. Here’s how you can stay connected, continue your personal growth, and contribute to our mission.
1. Become Part of Our Family as an Intern (35 hours/week)
The most enriching path forward is joining us as a Spirit Garden Intern. This role is about becoming part of our family and community, working closely with us to support our project while continuing to learn and evolve in a meaningful way.
What You’ll Do:
As an intern, you’ll work 35 hours a week, actively participating in projects that help grow Spirit Garden. From developing business skills to assisting with various tasks, you’ll be at the heart of our operations. Whether it’s marketing, management, or creative contributions, you’ll play a vital role in our success and growth.
What You’ll Gain:
You’ll develop invaluable professional skills, including business acumen, leadership, and project management, all while earning pocket money for your contributions. But more than that, you’ll be part of our learning program, which focuses on personal growth, psychology, holistic health, yoga, meditation, spiritual journeys, martial arts, and many other subjects. This holistic experience will enrich your life in profound ways as you contribute to something bigger than yourself.
Why This is Special:
Being an intern is about becoming a part of our family. You’ll live, work, and learn with us, sharing in the daily rhythms of community life, and participating in a deeply supportive environment that fosters both personal and collective growth. You’ll not only gain new skills but also experience the joy of being part of a like-minded, intentional community.
2. Student & Volunteer (25 hours/week)
If you prefer a balance between learning and volunteering without the business involvement, the Student & Volunteer option might be perfect for you.
What You’ll Do:
As a student-volunteer, you’ll commit to 25 hours a week, contributing your skills and energy to our community while participating in the same learning program as our interns. This includes sessions on personal growth, spiritual journeys, psychology, holistic health, yoga, meditation, martial arts, and much more.
What You’ll Gain:
You’ll experience the same lessons and personal development opportunities as our interns, but without the business responsibilities or financial earnings. This is an ideal choice if you want to focus more on your own inner journey and volunteer contributions without the additional business focus.
Why This is Special:
The Student & Volunteer role allows you to stay deeply connected to our mission and community, working with us in a flexible and rewarding way. You’ll still be part of our family and contribute to meaningful projects, while gaining valuable life lessons that will continue to enrich your personal growth.
Other Opportunities Based on Your Growth
Depending on your performance throughout the program and your final exam, we may have other proposals for you to continue your journey with us. These opportunities will be tailored to your strengths, growth, and personal goals, ensuring that you’re always supported on your path to deeper self-discovery and contribution.
Flexible Options for Everyone
We know life can be unpredictable, so we offer flexible options to make the program accessible to everyone. If you cannot commit to volunteering hours, you have the option to pay a deposit instead.
Deposit Fee:
We ask for a €20 deposit at the start of the program, which will be refunded upon completion.
Flexible Volunteer Hours:
If you prefer, you can opt to pay €10 for each volunteer hour you don’t complete. This fee is also refundable if you choose to complete your hours later.
