About the experience in: New Lynn, New Zealand
United States
Sacred Earth retreat had views that are stunning and one of our highlights is the group of volunteers we met. They were warm and friendly and made it easy to build a sense of of community. The shard dinners & card nights with new friends was memorable. That said, the retreats management fell a little short of what we expected & what was listed on the post . The housing provided was not very clean when we arrived, the kitchen space was often dirty despite our efforts to keep it clean & there are no yoga class or mediation classes just a space to use. Communication was lacking from our hosts.

Sacred Earth is a beautiful place! We had a comfortable bed, and adequate facilities to shower and use the bathroom and do laundry. The kitchen was shared between many people& wasn’t always the cleanest( lots of old food in fridge). It was a separate building from where we slept. The work was weeding and planting and not super organized. Best parts were the Friday communal dinners w/ the other volunteers, & the views at sunset. We weren’t offered yoga or meditation classes. Which was disappointing. It’s very isolated if you don’t have a car. Grateful for the friends we made. Everyone was nice!

Sacred Earth is an extraordinary place. The location is stunningly beautiful and you are surrounded by nature. The host is very friendly and the working hours are fair. You have plenty of time to visit the surrounding areas. The cleanliness could be improved a little and volunteers could be deployed more sustainably. All in all, I can highly recommend staying here. Thank you for having us.

I had a great stay in Sacred Earth! We were a nice group of volunteers. The tasks were mainly gardening and cleaning. And the location is immersed in amazing nature! Close to the ocean and to many waterfalls.

C’était plutôt sympa, on est bien accueilli et intégrer à la communauté. Il faut juste prendre en compte qu’on est vraiment loin de la ville ce qui peut être complexe quand on a pas de voiture.
