The residents were super kind and interesting to talk to. The meals tasty and plentiful. The surroundings and buildings are amazing. Had the chance to join the prayers and classes. The jobs was mostly house work (ordering, cleaning) and handyman projects (fixing, painting, digging). The responsibilities were clear and they offered flexibility. It was HARD work! The hours where longer that expected, since lunch (1hr) and breaks (2x30mins) are not included. Not as easy as I expected to go to Berlin and back, used my days off for it. Grateful and happy I had this experience <3

My experience at the Center was beyond amazing! The budhism classes and meditations happened every day in German - translated to English - and we can participate in all of them. The environment is super relaxing, the accommodation is super confy and clean, the food served every day is fresh and healthy with many vegetarian options, on the weekends the Cafe is open and they have many delicious options on the menu, and the most important, the residents are the most kind people I've ever met! I'll never forget this experience!
