The stay here was absolutely amazing, especially the nature is breathtakingly beautiful. The people that I lived with were super welcoming and helped to create a pleasant experience.

I arrived here without any special expectations but I found a really calm and pleasant place to be. The residents of sacred earth are really friendly and welcoming. They make you feeling like home.

I had an amazing time at the Sacred Earth Retreat centre. The work which was sometimes a little strenuous was still very satisfying. I met a lot of wonderful people here and it was the perfect start to my trip. Truly enjoyed cooking dinners with fellow volunteers and the residents. Would definitely want to visit again.

I met awesome people during my stay at Sacred Earth and the nature around the place is breathtaking with beautiful waterfalls, beaches and hikes. However the place itself needs to improve. My stay got cancelled 3 days prior due to poor management and overbooking. I had to “fight” for my accommodation. The wifi went off for 3 days due to poor communication within the management. The work and overall safety were also concerning. During the first week of my stay there were no classes and after that the only yoga classes available were held by other volunteers. Not what I expected.

Sacred Earth is in a beautiful location and I met amazing fellow volunteers. Yet, the experience was disappointing. My booking was canceled just three days before arrival, despite being made six months in advance. The owner showed up at my room after work to scold me. Work was unsafe—mowing steep hills, painting on unstable ladders, and doing land maintenance—all under the burning sun, with seemingly no care for our well-being. I lived with a resident experiencing a meltdown, which made us volunteers feel unsafe. Lastly, yoga classes are ONLY held if one of the volunteers offers them.
