Working in the Center was my first workaway experience and I'm very thankful that it was. From the moment I arrived I already felt at home and had the luck to meet wonderful people, volunteers and workers among them. It's a hard working job, but, at the end of the day, it pays off because you get to enjoy the amazing energy of the Center, create special connections with people and get to know a little bit about northern Germany culture. Not only that, but the food is amazing, you'll never be hungry. I'm very grateful to had this kind of opportunity, I'll never forget my time in the Center!

It was a very productive time for me and I will have everyone in my heart. Gratitude for everything the Center❤️🙏

A wonderful place! I enjoyed every single bit of working as a volunteer. The overall involvement of my time in the Center was excellent and I would recommend the place to anyone who wants to live and experience Northern Germany properly. One of the most enjoyable things was not surprisingly the people- TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS. It seemed that no matter what the goal was for the day or how much the language barrier interferred, everyone was willing to help one another and put in work when it was needed. I'll never forget the adventue, and I'm very grateful to the staff who helped us during our stay!

Volunteering at the Center was the perfect combination of work and relaxing in the peaceful forest. During my stay, I did housekeeping, kitchen help and preparing the bonfire. The work schedule was structured and the work hours were respected. When not working, I attended the yoga classes offered to the guests. Another free-time activity was using the available bikes to cycle to nearby towns. A bonus for me was the German class offered on Saturdays, and the teacher was very kind and patient. Vielen Dank to all the Center staff and other volunteers for this special experience :-)

If you are searching for a place to create deep connection with people, but also spend some time alone with yourself in a secluded space, I think the Center is perfect! The stuff is super friendly and the chefs will make sure that you're always stuffed with food! The work is well structured and it changes each week, so it is likely that you will have different tasks. There's the possibility to attend the Center meditation classes and each week you're going to attend a German lecture. If you want to visit the surrounding you are provided with bikes :)

This was my first worldpackers experience, and I had a magical time. What made this time so special was the amazing friendships I made with my 6 fellow volunteers. The staff at the Center made our stay equally as amazing, by planning parties for us, taking us on a special dinner excursions. The other volunteers and I planned movie nights, game nights, and talked late into the evening. The accommodations were comfortable and the food was awesome (especially breakfast)!! The work is clearly structured. There are 3 shifts: 6am-12:30pm, 8am-2pm, 3pm-9pm. I'm forever grateful for my time here

The highlight of my time at the Center was the other volunteers I met and worked with. It truly is a community that you become part of, in which the people are kind, supportive and encouraging. The growth that I experienced here is something that I will be grateful for for a long time. I worked as a kitchen hand and server, I cooked, baked and practised my german. There is some room for improvement, which I have communicated with the host, which will help to keep all volunteers safe and well there.

I had a great experience in the Center ! The place is really beautiful and the room for the workys is very pretty and comfortable ! Food was also good, a little repetitive sometimes but very tasty. About the tasks, they were a little exhausting sometimes (especially Housekeeping and Gardening). Negative points : sometimes you were alone doing the work, which increased the difficulty and the responsibility of it, and also I had the impression that only girls were doing all the cleaning work :/ (guys can also clean remember! ). Despite that, I had an amazing time with the others workys ! :))

My time at the Center didn't go as expected, but was still an enjoyable experience due to friendly staff and other wonderful volunteers. However, the expected role that I was to carry out didn't align with the tasks I actually had to complete. I signed up to be a bartender, but upon arrival, I soon learned “ the challenge of the Center,” is to undertake different roles. These include kitchen, hand, service, housekeeping, Gardening. I wasn't happy about the lack of transparency regarding the roles, especially since this was something I'd communicated with them from the start. So, Just a heads up.

It's almost funny again, if it weren't so sad... we informed you in writing in advance about the various tasks, we even did a video conference with you, where we once again explained exactly what tasks are in Sagasfeld Waiting for you, we pointed out in advance that you have to speak a little German for the work in the service in the restaurant, it was of no use and just because you didn't listen to us properly, you give us 3 stars... can you wouldn't make it up :-) It is what it is, you still did a great job, even if it was completely different from what you expected before... but you know what? This is exactly what internships and trips to foreign countries are for :-) Olaf
