Be a volunteer atthethethe Center; it's "the experience" you need, and you'll wish you had known about it before. The openness and kindness of the hosts there (Marcel, Jerien, and Harm) is overwhelming. You also learn a lot of important things about nature, but the most important thing is that you will be able to hear yourself. You can walk around that huge and magical garden and find serenity, calm, and clarity in your heart and mind. So I'll be eternally grateful to be part of this wonderful project, because it's more than that; it's a wonderful family. One more time DANKJEWEL 🤗

My stay at thethe the Centerwas pretty good, can't complain. Great people, great food. The work was good balanced, it included e.g. cutting hedges, planting potatoes in the vegetable garden or helping in the kitchen. You will find there good company as well as silence and time for yourself. It's a unique, special experience where you learn not just about gardening, but also about yourself. I can 100% recommend it.

The experience at the Centerwas a once in a lifetime experience. It was one of the best and most important three weeks of my life. The team gave me such freedom and space to learn/do new things, connect with beautiful people, and live in a nurturing and warm home. They created an environment to really be my true self and to let myself shine!

Marcel, Jerien and Harm made this volunteering experience a huge personal development experience. the Centeris the right place to connect with ourselves, with nature and to have deep and interesting conversations. I had the opportunity to spend some time working in the garden, in the vegetable garden, taking care of the lovely chickens and doing other painting and repairs which I found amazing! The caravan and volunteer areas are treated with care and the meals are delicious! They are made with love and organic products, mostly from the garden. I couldn't be more grateful to D. M.!

My time at the Centeris time I will always deeply treasure and be grateful for. All the people I met, the nature I got to immerse myself in, the energy I was surrounded by, it has all left me with a new perspective of life and a more stable mindset and emotional state. I was allowed to simply exist for a month, whilst feeling a sense of purpose and peace in the work I carried out during the days. It truly became a home away from home, one that I know I'll return to one day!
