Words cannot express the inner process that I had experienced in the house. The location is great, quiet and surrounded by nature. Working hours can be heavy on special occasions but understandable for whoever had worked on hospitality previously - but also super light on other days, so it balanced quite well. Hosts are always reachable and super kind and helpful. Food is always available and the cats were the gem of the house. As well as the guests are extremely friendly, we had shared several conversations. The garden was definitely my favorite place. Thank you very much for the experience

Based on the description, the Center was exactly what I was looking for. The place, the hosts, the tasks and everything that is offered and asked for meet the description precisely. The experience was above and beyond expectations. While the spaces around the house are cared for with attention to detail and some tasks need to be done within a schedule to welcome guests, the hosts make sure they can accomodate your needs, making you feel at home and giving you privacy. I got so much from the meditations and peaceful athmosphere in the Center. Thank you, Maria and Antje!

This wonderful place is perfectly tailored to what you need for your inner self and only you will know that when it is a time to take a break from your journey but especially for yourself. It is a retreat place where the activities to do depend on your abilities, you should know that the internet is not available in the evenings at bedtime until breakfast, we meditate every day 2 times, we share breakfast together. You will be able to share with wonderful human beings whom I carry in my heart and in my memories (Maria, Anke, Antje) and 3 beautiful cats 😍.. See you in the universe Thank you

What it is: It is an opportunity to get away from routine and practice meditation. What it is not: It is not an opportunity to socialize or integrate into the local culture. (This depends on the ability to socialize, but these are not activities that are prioritized as part of this experience.) In my experience, it is also not a suitable place to work on the computer or create. The best way to get the most out of this experience is to do it as what it isβ€”a RETREAT, with the purpose of reducing activities to a minimum and spending time with yourself.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to work at the Center. It truly was the answer to my prayers and a place where I felt like I was living in a fairy tale, surrounded by magic, mystery, and love.🧚🏼 I always believed that home is a person. And for me, Maria, Ankie, and the entire the Center became my family and my home. If you're looking for a place to reconnect with yourself, embrace the magic of nature, and tap into your own wisdom, I wholeheartedly recommend the Center. It has the power to completely transform your life, just as it did mine.

Exactly the kind of environment you'd want for a meditation retreat, with exactly the right people. I enjoyed my job most of the time, handyman, and it complimented the vibe. It's perfect, only if you're the type of person who is up for that (spiritual) experience. Some volunteers I met there weren't. If you're still on the fence after that qualifier, I strongly recommend going.

The Center is a lovely place to spend sometime enjoying Germany's beautiful nature and to reconnect with yourself through meditation. I found Maria and Antje to be kind and fair hosts. I felt that the experience helped me deepen my spiritual practice and I enjoyed some lovely conversations with the kind guests as well.

Maria and Antja were welcoming from the beginning. I enjoyed my time at the Center very much as it was a very relaxed and easy going experience. Maria is a great host and will always make sure you are feeling at home, getting in touch with nature, and helping with the work if you make a mistake. The accommodation is very nice and right next to a huge forest and bird sanctuary, and is only 45 minutes away from Hamburg. I would love to come back and do this again and would highly recommend this to many volunteers. Thank you Maria and Antja for the lovely stay and amazing experience.
