If you want time to focus on yourself and learn more about yourself then this is the experience to be apart of. I was able to take care of the silent garden, vegetable garden and chickens which were all new experience that were fun to learn as I had previous experience. Jerien, Marcel, and Harm are very good people who welcome you to just be yourself and be free of any pressure and expectations. I was able to slow down and reflect while mindfully gardening which was very enjoyable. Thank you to the other volunteers Edzhem, Bart, and Amanda for making this experience more fun and I'm grateful.

My experience at Mannhoeve was deeply positive. The delicious food, the enchanting beauty of the place, and the empathy of Marcel and Jerien made it unforgettable. I recommend it to anyone seeking a true experience of introspection and self-discovery.

The Centerbecame my second home. Marcel and Jerin are incredible and wise people who made me feel understood, respected, and cared for. The tasks were always meaningful, with plenty of connection to nature. The food was delicious and almost entirely vegetarian, and staying in my own cozy caravan made it even more special. My time there truly changed the way I see life, supported my personal growth, and gave me amazing friendships. It's a place I highly recommend if you're looking for a space to connect with yourself and practice your spirituality.

The Centeris honestly such an incredible place. This was my first Worldpackers experience and Marcel and Jerien showed me such kindness and warmth, they made me truely feel at home. The work that you are invited to do never feels like work because you are able to work at your own pace and with your own drive. The food is also incredible and the caravans you stay in are very comfortable. If you feel like you need time to slow down and reconnect with nature, your true self, and community this is an amazing place for it! I can not recommend this volunteering experience enough!!

I had a wonderful experience here! I found it to be a very welcoming place where I was encouraged to be myself without judgement. I was able to connect with myself and others, and learned so much along the way. It felt like a home away from home :)
