America's Largest Vegan Wellness Retreats
Want to be part of the magic from the inside? Volunteer at America's largest vegan wellness retreat and join hundreds of like-minded guests for five days on the ranch. In exchange for one 4–5 hour shift a day, approved volunteers receive 50% off both General Admission and their volunteer dorm (men's, women's, or a couples dorm), subject to availability — and outside your shift, the whole retreat is yours, just like every other guest: the food, the speakers, the lake, all of it. Apply below — spots are limited and filled on a rolling basis.
Your exact dorm rate depends on which volunteer dorms are still open when you register.
Or split it into 0% interest monthly payments — as low as ~$94/mo · no credit check
⏳ Payment plans shorten September 1 — lock in today's lower monthly before then.
Two venues, one all-inclusive experience. As a volunteer you'll live on-site in a real bed the whole retreat — no tents, no commute.

Takes about 2 minutes. If you're approved, we'll email your volunteer code and the next steps to lock in your 50%-off rate.
Volunteer dorms are split into men's and women's — we use this to place you. Registering as a couple? You'll pick a couples dorm at checkout.
Volunteering at both retreats? Pick your top choice here — you'll confirm a shift for each retreat when you register (they're separate sign-ups).
💳 Prefer to split the cost into equal monthly payments? We have a no-interest monthly payment plan you can select at checkout.
Your 50% off ticket plus a volunteer dorm bed is approved. No shift is held until you register — shifts are first come, first served, and you'll choose from the ones still open when you check out.
Your code is applied automatically. We've also emailed it to you, so you can finish later — but the shift you picked can go to someone else in the meantime. (Don't see the email? Check spam/promotions.)
Volunteer capacity has now been reached for both 2027 retreats — thank you so much for wanting to be part of it.
We'd still love to have you there, though — guest spots are still open. Come as a guest and soak up all five days: the food, the speakers, the lake, the whole community.
No shifts, no schedule to keep — come as a guest and soak up all five days. Same food, same speakers, same lake, same community.
A Vegan Wellness Retreat is five days of gourmet plant-based food, movement, and workshops with world-class plant-based doctors, authors & athletes — plus silent discos, spa & sauna, lake days, the Vegan Olympics, and Sal the Fruit Hunter's rarest tropical fruit. As a volunteer you're on the team making it happen, and you're right in it alongside our guests.
The filmmaker behind Cowspiracy, What the Health & Seaspiracy — three documentaries that moved millions of people toward plant-based living — live on stage at both 2027 retreats.
Who you’ll learn from
World-renowned doctors, elite plant-based athletes, and bestselling authors — the kind of teachers people travel across the country to learn from, all in one place. And we’re just getting started.
We've partnered with Casa de Luz East — one of Austin's most beloved organic, whole-food, plant-based, oil-free kitchens, an institution people drive across Texas for. This isn't catering. We're bringing their kitchen, their chefs, and their standards to the retreat — cooking for every guest, at every meal.
Our head chef, Mario Fabbri, leads the kitchen — with Gabby Martinez, owner of Casa de Luz East, as his sous chef — together cooking five unforgettable days of food for every guest.
Every meal, every day — included with your ticket. Organic, oil-free, 100% whole-food plant-based. Come hungry.
