Volunteering with Yoga and Ayurveda in North Germany

Italy

5

It was my first volunteer experience with this platform. I think it was a nice experience, an opportunity to get away from the crush and find some silence and relaxation in an isolated place. I worked mainly in house keeping in the morning and in the afternoon I had time to myself to rest or do things. There isn't much nearby but you can explore. I then took part in the German lessons on Saturdays and they were very good and the professor was very good. The team was welcoming and available for discussion in case of problems!

This was my third volunteer and by far the best, the team at the Center was always very friendly and helpful, I had the chance to learn yoga, vegetarian food and nature, I will come back for sure.

I had a good time overall. It's in a quiet village with mostly nothing around except nice roads and paths through fields and forest. The work is okay but not that fun, especially when there's less volunteers as there's more work to do. The hotel needs to hire more employees. The owner should put more effort into connecting with the volunteers. The staff isn't interested in the Center/yoga which was disappointing. A couple of the staff didn't seem interested in talking or connecting with me and gave bad vibes, but of course all the volunteers were awesome.

The Center is a beautiful place, but quite remote so you won't be able to access much without using a bike. The work can be tough at times (6am starts), so I'd make your needs known early on. The staff are great, but communication could be better. Overall I had a great time though, and connected with nature and the other volunteers - so thank you!!

My goals were to improve my German, learn new skills, and meet new people. I achieved these at the Center, with help from the staff and the German lessons provided. The work is tiring and long and you will do various tasks, including housekeeping, service, kitchen, handiwork, and more. I also helped out at the Kartoffel Hotel. The nature surrounding the Center is peaceful and accessible by bike. As well as bike rentals, the hotel provides communal facilities the Center classes. I recommend this place to anyone committed to improving their German language and their hotel service skills. Thanks :)

This was my very first Worldpackers experience and I ended up being very satisfied. During the time I spent there, I felt as if I was isolated from the whole world and enjoyed the time. The food is delicious (potato lovers will especially like it). It is definitely worth making your needs known, sometimes the workload can be a bit exhausting but regardless there is free time to enjoy the place and make connections with people from different cultures. Thanks to everyone with whom we had beautiful moments.

The Center was a wonderful experience for me. The people you work with make all the difference and you can truly make wonderful connections here.

I appreciate the clean spacious room, free the Center meditation lessons, healthy three meals per day and rental bicycles. It's written as a "shared room", but you are actually sharing a house, and you have your enough space for you to hang your clothes and using the tables plus the kitchen together with other volunteers. The room is bigger than what you normally expect from the usual dormitories in a hostel. You can take a nice walk to the forests and also go to towns like Hitzacher and Dannenberg. I met many wonderful people here in Sagasfield, and I appreciate all the memories here. Danke!

It was a great experience, I learned and improved my level of English thanks to all the classmates who were there. the Center wouldn't be the same without them. The schedule is hard, sometimes you have to get up at 6 in the morning and work, it depends on the tasks you have, but I connected with myself and enjoyed the experience.
