It was a good experience where I met very nice people and I was able to connect with nature (prepare yourself to get your shoes muddy and be happy in the process). Everyone tried their best to be helpful and kind, always with respect. On the work side, sometimes it was hard but you have the chance to talk about it in case it's too much and do another kind of activities. I would like to come back in Summer because there is a different variety of jobs to do. Thank you for making me feel welcome and comfortable!

Mi estancia en el Castillo fue muy bonita! Me encantó. Tienes rato libre, lo suficiente para visitar lugares cercanos, puedes utilizar bicicletas, caminar o correr dentro de lo que es la ecovila. La comida me gustó mucho! Siempre había un postre y me encanta porque soy mucho de dulces, la comida es sagrada y preparada por ellos, si es lo que buscas realmente te recomiendo conocer y probar otra cultura que es muy bonita, gracias a todos, un saludo a mis amigos de cocina😁

It is a very good experience as you can learn a little about the Hindu religion and its culture. The place around the castle is very beautiful and meeting new volunteers is the best!

I spent a month at the temple and it was one of the most intense experiences of my life. I met some really kind devotees and made good friends with other volunteers. Regarding the work, I feel that there is a lack of communication and organization, but nothing really serious. The activities are nice and the Indian food is good. I will probably go back soon 💖

This is the second time I come to New Mayapour in 2 months ;) It's always really nice, especially now that I reconnected with the people from here. The environment is nice, but in winter the weather is not the nicest so I recommend coming in spring/summer. also because there is much more variety of outdoor activities to do.

4 stars - because in the end, I'm glad I decided to visit this place. However, you should be aware that Nouvelle the eco village village is a religious temple (research ISKCON) and if you don't agree with certain beliefs/practices, it can be hard to feel completely at home. Living in the temple challenged my own open-mindedness, which I liked, but without the dear friends I found there I would've felt lonely at times. Maybe try it for 1-2 weeks before you decide to stay longer, especially if you're traveling alone!

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.

Pasé un mes en la ecovila junto a Damián, en nuestro primer voluntariado. Lo recomiendo si buscas alejarte de la ciudad y disfrutar del silencio, la naturaleza y el cielo estrellado, aunque es difícil salir a conocer otros lugares. La comida es buena y abundante, el trabajo liviano y los horarios se respetan. Las personas son amables y la profesora de yoga es un amor. Puedes unirte a las ceremonias si lo deseas. Hay dos días de descanso semanales. Fue una experiencia enriquecedora y conocí gente que siempre recordaré. Lleva ropa adecuada, pues puede hacer frío y llover.

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.
