My first volunteering experience was wonderful. I felt immediately welcomed by the hosts and the other volunteers. A special thank you to Dhara, a strong and loving woman whom I am grateful for sharing beautiful moments with. This place is perfect for a nature retreat and a much-needed phone detox. The work was sometimes strenuous but was always varied and well-balanced. Highly recommended for a rewarding, enriching experience and meeting new and interesting people!

I had a great time here and really enjoyed working at the Center! I met really nice volunteers and the host was very welcoming as well. The work can sometimes be very hard but it's still manageable and with the right company it can be really fun! A special thanks to Dhara for spending time with us and being such a hard working and strong women. I'll really miss the place and can only recommend it to everyone!

It's been a truly wonderful two weeks at the Center. I'm grateful for meeting the hosts and volunteers, and for the peaceful environment that helped me grow and learn so much. It wasn't easy at first—unstable internet, double shifts, and wood tasks—but I managed over time. My bond with everyone grew stronger, and I'm especially thankful to Dhara for her respect and care. I never felt discriminated against, only warmly supported. It's been a joyful and meaningful experience.

I had a great experience with Dhara and Samarona, I felt so welcome by them, I also meet volunteers from a lot of places, they where also amazing people, we worked at the olive field, fixing the road, cooking, cleaning and even I tried the Center, this place is perfect for phone detox and connecting with nature. I am not vegetarian but I had no problem with the food. Thanks for all!

I felt very I felt very comfortable, AnIt's a very cheerful atmosphere, very collaborative, they're very warm The only drawback is that the bicycles available are not of much help, they have many faults and it is complicated to move to other places. Although we had difficulties with the language I felt good, without a doubt 2 weeks is very little time to learn more about this center, without a doubt I recommend it and I would return They are incredible people, I was able to connect with nature, there are daily meditations
