I loved spending my days volunteering in the project center. They are very organized, respectful with the working hours and the structure of the castle is amazing. They also have a lot of others volunteers from all of the world and everyone is so kind and lovely. All the meals are included, vegetarian (with vegan option) and very good. Truly recommend if you are looking for a place to learn about team work and connect with people. Also you don't need to be involved with Buddhism to volunteer there, but if you're interested they have a lot of classes that you can participate for free.

After this experience I can say that both the place and the staff are completely amazing. At all times they have fulfilled what was agreed and they wrap you up as a volunteer from the beginning. You can breathe an incredible peace and a super healthy and welcoming atmosphere.

This was my first volunteer experience, and I am very glad I chose the project! I was looking for a place with a community of volunteers, close to nature and the opportunity to learn more about myself and I ended up finding much more than that. I loved volunteering in the kitchen - Odro is a wonderful manager, and the environment is great to meet and talk to different people from the project. The place is beautiful, the food is amazing, you can attend daily the project classes and teachings on the project Buddhism depending on your work schedule, but the volunteers are the best part! DM for tips!
