My experience was amazing. The food was fresh and equilibrate, every day different. Tsalden, the person encharge of volunteers is very kind and helpful. I loved going to the project, workshops and talk with the residents, because I learned a lot about myself and the Buddhist tradition. For sure I recommended to everybody that want to grow and being in a really peacful place❤️

I spent my time at the Café working mainly as a barista. I learned how to do latte art and it quickly became one of the most enjoyable parts of my routine. What stayed with me were the shared meals at the long table by the window overlooking the garden, speaking English, Spanish and Portuguese all at once, a joyful mess. The unexpected hugs that paused the rush, the discreet smiles of the monks passing by, and the constant mix of voices from people sharing the same space. Living with volunteers from so many places, switching between languages and stories, gave the days a rhythm I won't forget.

The project taught me many things about Buddhism. Each inhabitant warmly immerses you in the tradition. They speak to you of inner peace and good deeds. The camaraderie with the other volunteers...It's an experience I'll never stop being grateful for. Being in the art studio and knowing that you're part of creating beautiful statues for the service of the project world is one of the best things I'll take away from this. I definitely recommend the experience if you want to fill yourself with love for the world. Thank you the project Center, Tsalden and Constance for making me feel part of a them. 🪷

Because of personal reasons, I stayed here for a week. The accommodation was very comfortable, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everyone I met was incredibly kind. It's a very peaceful place surrounded by nature, with beautiful scenery. During my stay, I learned a lot — from teamwork and cleaning skills to gaining insights into different cultures and even learning a bit about Buddhism. It was a wonderful cross-cultural experience, and I truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended! :)
