The Center is a beautiful place within nature and with fantastic artwork. Edgar seems knowledgable about many spiritual aspects and is happy to share his knowledge with you which is great. We had the pleasure to also explore Popayan and visit some local places. From my experience, the host needs to improve his communication skills and make clear what he needs from the volunteers on the day of arrival and each day. Also, its important to note that with just basic spanish (as noted in the ad) communication is impossible.

I stayed at the Center just for 1 week, and I had a good experience. Edgar the owner is a very nice and kind person and he tried to teach me a little bit about sustainable construction, we talked about spirituality, local history and and local indiginous communities. Unfortunately, communication was sometimes a challange, since I only speak basic spanish and Edgar doesnt speak english. Also, that week I was the only volunteer there, and I wish there were other volunteers to interact with. All in all the experience was good and I recomand this project!! Thank you Edgar!!
