Farm helper at a peaceful sanctuary

Experiencia mala. Poco/nada contacto con la cultura. Tienen a los voluntarios muy aislados. La casa de las fotos no es el lugar donde te hospedan el cual esta muy sucio, inundado, con ratas, totalmente abandonado! Sin agua potable. Por otro lado, gran parte de la comida que ofrecen está vencida! Condiciones que no pueden ser normalizadas o pasar desapercibidas. El trabajo que me ha tocado fue de mi agrado. Era parte de lo que buscaba, más no repetiría en este lugar y lo desaconsejo. Hasta cambió mi visión sobre la cultura Krishna..Triste. Sobre yoga, no pude hacer, jamás respondieron.

Sentimientos encontrados: Las tareas y el trabajo estaban genial pero las instalaciones dejan mucho que desear, sobretodo la cocina. Era muy vieja, muebles estropeados, de 3 lavadoras solo funcionaba una y se hacía complicado siendo 20 voluntarios con tan solo una lavadora. Los baños cuando llegue estaban bien pero a medida que pasaron las semanas se rompieron dos duchas y no se arreglaban aunque lo avisamos varias veces. Por el contrario, el trato fue genial, Ramai y Krishna nos ayudaban en todo y eran muy amigables.

Personally, the experience was good. Unfortunately the host is missing a project or planning with his volunteers, they never gave me a tour of the facilities, the temple and the dormitory are two completely different places. In conclusion, the place is perfect and quiet for people who hate the city and need space to breathe and be calm, they will not lack food and housing, it is just a matter of adapting to some technical flaws that the facilities have due to day-to-day use. Thank you for everything, it was very nice to meet very good people, greetings to all and blessings.

Ramai was very welcoming and kind along with the rest of the staff. The work is easy and straightforward but there's not much work in the winter so it can be boring - would be better in summer. Other volunteers and I took initiative to utilize volunteer opportunities like milking the cows, helping in the preschool/kitchen, going on the school tour - this really enhanced the experience and made it worth it! Living quarters need a lot of work - very dirty and rats everywhere. There is also no yoga which was very disappointing. Fun but needs improvement overall. :)

My first volunteering stint was amazing! Ramai, always helpful and talkative, made the experience enjoyable. Accommodations were fine; comfy beds and heating kept me warm during the cold three weeks. Volunteers need to be committed and autonomous due to the diverse tasks. Cleaning and organization in shared spaces like the kitchen need improvement. Working in the garden was a joy, with friendly people. The food, especially on Fridays, was excellent, and there were delightful snacks twice a week. Participating in Hare Krishna activities was fascinating, showcasing their cultural commitment.

This was my very first experience in volunteering. It was a really nice experience. I guess it was exactly what I was looking for - a real farm life. I guess it is very special place so if you want to come you should read carefully the description and the comments in order to figure out if this is what are you looking for. The time is hitting diferently. I really enjoyed and it really helped to find a piece of myself.

It was a pretty nice experience, I met travellers from all around the world and it helped me to improve my English and to get to know different cultures. We made a cool team at the farm, it was a hard work but we had a fun time. The Krishna food is great but sometimes we got few food for dinner, also some of the kitchen guys were rude to us. You are not going to sleep in the temple, you can camp or stay in a caravan with other people. The living room and the kitchen are in the barn and they are not too clean and there are some rats (we are on a farm, so is common). I recommend this experience

My experience was incredible! I stayed for a month and time passed very quickly… I met wonderful people from all over the world and I felt that I developed my English a lot. The work on the farm is super dynamic, we do different activities every day, there is yoga every week, the entire temple team is very nice and the food is very good!!! I highly recommend the experience… Haribol _/\_

It was such a fun experience. I met so many kind people from different countries and I learned a lot about farming and about other religion. Also in a day off you can see beautiful London.
