Pujari and Luisa have a beautiful project. I loved to start and end the day with a session of meditation oPilates. To share with volunteers from so many countries is what made this experience incredible ✨ The food is abundant n although the work can be exhausting sometimes, I enjoyed it n learned a lot. The experience could be better if there was leadership rather than an imposition of rules. It's important to motivate, respect and find others ways than also work. For mental n physical health, I know you will find a better way to LEAD FROM LOVE; you love this project n I hope keep growing

It was a regenerating experience! You work 25 hours a week and you can decide how to spread your working hours from Monday to Saturday. As they say, cooking and cleaning is outside of the 25h, but it's not a big deal. The work is very physical and the hosts, Luisa and Pujari, are very focused on their goal of building the food forest. Work and also meditation are taken seriously.

I had a wonderful time at Lombos Garden. Such a transformative, healing experience led by a fantastic pair teachers and full of lovely people intent on healing themselves and the land. My highest reccomendations to those wanting to immerse themselves in yoga, mediation, agriculture, awareness and healing. All the best going forward, I am excited to see how the projects I contributed towards progress in the future.

Due to the reviews I read. I expected a mindful environment with a way to learn mindful work & develop. I found a lovely venue, with poohjaris fun osho meditations & nice volunteers. Otherwise what I encountered was an environment where mindful communication wasn't encouraged by Luisa. There is a list of rules 5 pages long that she expects to you to remember. She uses aggressive communication & guilt tripping to enforce these rules which does not link well to mindfulness for me nor did the speed at which we plant/work at. I hope more volunteers write honest reviews to help our community.

Well, we can not please all
and not everyone is prepared to get out of his comfort zone.
From the first day, when Christopher did not appear for his first evening meditation, and in the second day morning meeting complained about the gardening work, suggesting working schedule and guidelines changings, it was clear that he did not read everything about us and that was not prepared to work as a meditation.
Christopher is a good guitar player, we wish him a good journey.

Yes, more then 10 years receiving volunteers, we clearly describe our project and our daily life in order who is interested in joining us knows in advance what to expect. At the arrival day we also provide guidelines (done with the input of volunteers) to make it easier to know what is required to maintain our communal life easier (a kind of check list that has no need to be memorized but is good to have it at hand and check it when you need a help / instruction), and also forms to be clear within the volunteer group who's responsible for the tasks that need to be done and how the 25h work a week are given in what is being done.
But, honestly, Christopher seemed to be more interested in leading and entertaining a group then being part of it.

Lombos Garden is a place where you can learn a lot if you adapt! I really enjoyed the work, though it can get very exhausting. The tasks depend on the season, my tasks were planting trees, digging holes, weeding grass, mixing the compost n lots of shredding. Another great part was the morning n evening meditation-for me a great way to get to know different meditations. The meditations were def. a good way to start n end the day also because I feel it connects the hosts and the volunteers. What really made the experience such a good experience was all the other volunteers.
