Being at the Center was truly an unforgettable experience. I felt so loved by eveyone and everything was absolutely amazing. Annette is such a kind soul and made sure everything was going according the plan and always checking if we are alright and I am grateful for it. Hank is THE BEST. she is one of a kind and sooo fun to be around her. I learnt a lot about Buddhism and met other travelers. I also had the chance to meet locals and talk German and improve it further. I would definitely go back to visit and they made a special place in my heart forever.

The Center is like home to me, the first time I came a year ago I felt like I had come home, what was supposed to be a two-week volunteer turned into a year-long volunteer, here I learned a little bit of everything, not only did I develop spiritually but I also learned many skills, from a simple volunteer who was learning I dedicated myself and became the manager of the Household and the Café and this time I continued in my role, and I developed even more by learning to manage the kitchen of the center... and there is nothing more rewarding than helping to grow places like the Center…

It was lovely to come to a safe and quiet place after travelling a lot, the people at the Center have at every occasion the best energy to help and teach. I was working more closely with the shop manager and it was amazing because I really felt valued with Hank. She allowed me to use my talents and skills to help her work and always took my experience into consideration. As a personal opinion and advice to the general management, I think it is important to identify the skills and abilities of the volunteers to assign them to the right tasks, to keep them motivated and to make them feel valued.
