Your focus has to be just learn about hare krishna, because if like me, you wanted to explore more this region of france this is not the right place since the nearest town is 1h hour away walking. The hours of work are also a bit confusing, it's not just the 5h, the time is split in two turns and this makes you feel like you worked the whole day and don't have time for yourself. there's also an 45min reunion additional to the 5h. the community is nice, expect from the leader of volunteers, julien, who is new in the charge and has a lot to learn and communicate better.

My stay in the the eco village village was good. I met people from all over the world and tried new, delicious, and abundant food. Most people in the temple are kind and genuine. The tasks aren't too hard, schedules and days off are respected. English is the only language spoken there, which is important to know. The washing machine can be used only once a week. There's no city nearby—the closest is Écuillé, about 40 minutes from Châteauroux—so you'll be far from big cities. I recommend it if you like nature, gardening, and cleaning, which are the main activities.

My time in the eco village was a unice experience. I was not expecting it to be this religious, as neither Hare Krishna or ISKCON were mentioned on the host's site. They live a life quite different from the modern society that I'm used to, but as time went by, me and my friend grew to like it.😊 The people there are nice, food is really good, the dorms are okay, and work are as described.

My experience at the Hare Krishna Temple was mixed. I've been traveling for over a year and this was my 8th volunteering (all others 5 stars). Communication between host and volunteers needs improvement, and the person managing the app isn't the same as the host, so arrivals are unclear. The gardener was very impatient and even pushed me, which made things difficult. On the positive side: amazing volunteers, delicious food, a quiet atmosphere, and beautiful countryside life.

Foi uma boa experiência, conheci pessoas incriveis e fiz amizades de várias partes do mundo. Aqui as pessoas são bem simpáticas também, o meu desafio foi a alimentação pois a cultura é mais indiana e bem diferente do Brasil, no mais a experiência foi boa, super indico.

The property is beautiful and most people are very welcoming and friendly. There is a daily meeting everyday where you are assigned your job so you always know what you will be doing which is good. Communication could be a lot better. I was waiting an hour to be collected from the bus station when I arrived. I was not given a tour of the property, only shown my room and had to rely on other volunteers to explain and show everything to me. There is an older lady living there who is very rude to volunteers. I had to leave the experience early as there was a death in my family.

A peaceful oasis to learn about krishna consciousness, explore the french forest, and paris too if you want. the work was good and fair- definitely hot if you come in the summer. my favorite part was working in the garden with jaladuta. he taught me a lot about plants and people and if you get a chance to sit down on a flower pot and talk while pulling some weeds with him- take it! as someone who came to contribute to food sustainability/to learn, i was a little disappointed to find that my tasks would mainly involve tending to flowers to be used for their spirituality. thank you the eco village

Great and beautiful experience. Lots of lovely people in this community. Overall recommend. I would say that this village isn't as eco as I thought. You will get in trouble if you don't eat all your food. I often felt pressured to get involved with the spiritual side of things, eg being told that coming to dinner and not attending the meditation beforehand was “not so good”. I also felt a lot of sexism here with people commenting if I wasn't covered up enough even outside the property! Also I was told that I was a “weak woman” who couldn't do the work properly. The tasks and hours were 👍

O nível de inglês não é iniciante, passei por um episódio onde tive problema de comunicação e faltou um pouco de paciência. Apesar disso as demais pessoas no templo me acolheram, o que garantiu que eu ainda tivesse uma experiência boa.

Volunteering at the eco village was peaceful and rewarding. The community is kind, the food is delicious, and the spiritual atmosphere is unique. Tasks are fair and varied. It's ideal for those seeking simplicity, mindfulness, and a break from busy life.
