The Center was an extraordinary experience. Over the past month, I had the opportunity to learn a great deal thanks to Dhara and Samarona — a warm and kind couple, always patient with us. Every day, we cooked, chopped wood, cleared the land, pulled weeds, and took care of security by reinforcing the fence. I imagine each month brings its own unique needs. We meditated often and came to know the Center's message through his videos. I leave this place with greater resilience and a deep sense of peace in my heart.

We had an excellent experience during our one-month stay. We did a variety of tasks: cooking, cleaning the forest, stacking firewood. When there's a the Center group, the work changes—it depends on the moment and the season, as the needs vary. We had a ride both when we arrived and when we left, and the days off were arranged in advance. The bus stop is about a 30-minute walk away, but it's very manageable. Since it's a small town, buses run every two hours. Dhara and Samarona taught us a lot, and we came out of this experience much stronger. Thank you!

My experience at the Center was truly especial! As my first volunteering, I felt a bit nervous, but everything exceeded my expectations. The dynamic routine kept each day exciting. Dhara and Samarona welcomed me with open arms, and the warm connection with everyone made me feel at home. Clear communication made tasks easy, and the cultural exchange was inspiring. Surrounded by nature, we shared a delicious tiramisu and discovered beautiful little villages nearby.It was a time filled with warmth, laughter, and new friendships—an experience I'll carry with me, always with a smile.
