It was a great experience, it really helped me improve my English, and it was really nice to be exposed to a new culture. It's far from the cities. The food was very different for me because it's mostly Indian, but since we could choose from a good variety of options, I was able to pick the ones I liked the most. It was really nice to learn more about Hare Krishna and participate in some ceremonies. One thing I didn't like was the fact that we had two shifts: one in the morning and one in the afternoon, which made it feel like a full day of work, even though we only worked for five hours.

This experience was a unique immersion! Starting from the best, it's a very beautiful place with forest around. I loved my walks and felt connected with nature, and also had fun doing activities outside with wood and gardening. However, the tasks were mainly to clean. The division of the duties was sexist, and I felt like Cinderella quite often. Every day I had to clean either in the morning or the afternoon (includes evening). The morning meeting of 45min were obligatory but didn't count towards the 5h. As it was winter, we didn't have time to do anything else during the day. Overall good 😊

Getting to experience the culture aspect of the religion was unique and fun, I got to meet incredible people with surprising stories and life lessons. The daily work was ok but very confusing at first, because they don't have someone who will teach you or show you around, is usually done by another volunteer, they also don't have an organized work schedule and will ask for random tasks, so be aware of your hours and assignments, they won't say anything if you work more hours than agreed, but will call you off if something isn't done the way they expected, without showing you what was expected.

Fue nuestra primera experiencia, y realmente el lugar es hermoso para encontrar calma y relajación, se conecta con muchos voluntarios de todos lados y eso es realmente hermoso, también nos sumergimos en la religión aprendiendo de sus cantos, bailes y sus comidas. Sin embargo falta coordinación y claridad al momento en las tareas diarias a realizar Harini fue realmente motivante y fue muy agradable cuando estuvo a cargo, gracias por todoooo!!!

La experiencia la realizamos junto a Catalina (mi novia). Aprendimos sobre el movimiento y religion Krishna, nos enriquecimos siendo parte de ceremonias, comidas, y conversaciones que tuvimos junto a devotos del castillo the eco village. Sin embargo, para nosotros fue primera experiencia de voluntariado, y como primera experiencia notamos una falta de coordinación y claridad en las tareas por realizar, ya que delegan esa responsabilidad en voluntarios que están de antes. Esta falta de claridad genera incómodad siendo voluntarios.

Les tâches a accomplirent sont un peu ennuyeuses et respectives mais les hôtes et les devoirs sont accueillants et ouvert, le meilleur aspect de the eco village reste de rencontrer les autres volontaires sur place et les gens qui vivent sur le site. Le château est magnifique et le domaine tres grand, il y a plein de choses a voir et la forêt est très belle

Lovely experience at the eco village. The other volunteers truly make the experience. I was able to learn a lot about Krishna Consciousness, as the devotees make sure to immerse you in their lifestyle. This was a unique experience, and I would recommend to open-minded volunteers!

The eco village was a lovely quaint place to unwind and get in touch with nature as well as other travellers. The voulenteer leaders were kind and understanding and the work was not too hard at all. I l definitely recommend!

This experience was pretty remarkable in my journey. The Krishna consciousness community is really open to volunteers to learn from them and from their own activities. If you are, as a traveler, looking for some spiritual answers here they will help you find within you. Remember is vegetarian food (for some its challenging) - work hours are respected. Also great and unique memories with the international volunteers
