​"I'm Ma, your host! My journey has been a unique one—from being an Egyptian-Danish physician to a global traveler and now a spiritual guide, martial artist, and community builder here in Bali. Our staff is a small, warm team that runs our community space. ​You can expect to be treated like family. My core values are Truth, Growth, Freedom, and Connection, and that's the environment we cultivate. We're building a community of 'like-minded travelers', and you'll be respected as a vital part of it. You'll also have the chance to join our community events, like Kirtan, meditation, music, and martial arts sessions depending on the Season"

I started my Bali adventure by volunteering here for my first two weeks and it was such a beautiful experience! The social media work was straightforward, fun and meaningful. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with delicious food!! I was able to join in on the events like yoga, sound healing and community circles, which made the experience feel very welcoming and connected. Ma is a wonderful host who is very knowledgeable and accommodating which made it the perfect first place to land in Bali. I’m very grateful for my time here and would highly recommend this experience! 😊

I had a great experience volunteering here! The host was incredibly friendly and flexible, which made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I really appreciated the freedom and support I was given while working on the mural. It means a lot to know that a part of me will stay in Bali :) Thank you for the opportunity and the warm welcome! :)

It was my first volunteering and it was really very nice, a cozy and pleasant atmosphere, I think they can organize themselves better but they are very attentive, and friendly in addition to the good food

I had a great experience working with them!
They treated me with kindness and respect, and I truly enjoyed being part of the team.
Creating social media content for them was fun and rewarding.
I’d be happy to collaborate with them again anytime!
