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 :)

Since the first video call with Marcel and Jerien, I was welcomed with open hearts and felt safe to be myself. DeMaanhoeve is a truly special place, I felt like my soul had already been here before. The peaceful energy, the people, the delicious healthy food, and the connection with nature helped me slow down and reconnect with my inner self with presence. Thanks also to Harm for the kind moments and little adventures, and to Jackie, my volunteer partner who made everything lighter and more fun. No words can explain all of what this experience means to me. With love, Bruno

This experience was wonderful. The work done here helped me to feel a greater sense of purpose and develop stronger mindfulness. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves nature, loves tending to gardens, and wants to connect with both others and themselves.

Volunteering at Thethe the Centerwas a beautiful and enriching experience. I connected with nature, met inspiring people, laughed a lot, learned about gardening, discovered a love for cooking, taught my first yoga class, and enjoyed every moment. I felt free to be myself and truly present. Thank you Jerien, Marcel, Harm and everyone who made this time so special.

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 🤗
