ECO RETREAT and volunteer

I had a lovely time meeting and coliving with 3 girls! The experiences I had with them will forever live in my heart ♥️ Dundundun however, the living conditions at the Center were egregious. We ran out of food for meals fast and Moabi would not drive us to the store nor supply us with food. We had very little preparation for the cold and couldn't get thru the night. Had to start fires to keep warm. There were no clean dry towels and the kitchen was unsanitary with bugs, dirt, + mildew. The toilet smelled foul. Altho Moabi was ill and can't control the weather, she needed to be more innovative 🫠

I am sory sweetheart but I feel you were not prepared for this experience and not read well before joining. On the food we always had leftovers :) I went to supermarket so many times :) (got ill at the end but another person went :). Only one night you said to be chili and after I give you a hot water bottle you said to be fine. I enjoyed to met you really!,and wish you all the best. On the volunteer world and being flexible, compationate and adjustable there is much to be learned!

My stay at the Center was wonderful, I instantly felt at home while sorrounded by the most amazing people and beautiful nature. The work tasks and hours were very respected and the sessions and ceremonies we had was so interesting, fun, and rewarding. I overall had an amazing and relaxing week where I could really find myself:)

I had a fantastic time at the Center! Host Moabi was so lovely and welcoming. In the mornings, we would da little bit of work (such as cleaning, painting walls, weeding, or making olives), and then in the afternoon we would relax and do an activity (yoga, breathwork, meditation, and even a cacao ceremony). All the volunteers took turns to cook for each other and as a result we had some fantastic vegan food! Highly recommended this placement!

I cannot recommend this experience enough! Moabi is such a special person and soul, her welcoming and calming spirit immediately touches you upon meeting her. Our stay was very flexible and adaptable with the weather and tasks for the days. We all agreed and discussed as a group which work was best suited for everyone each day, and made decisions about a group for the length we'd be working due to weather. Our daily spiritual activities were incredible, and Moabi was a wonderful leader in them. This is genuinely such a safe space, and beautiful community builder. I am so grateful for my time!!

The whole experience was incredible and I would definitely recommend it. We would work for around an hour a day either helping with the house or the garden. The rest of the time was filled with relaxing, cooking meals for the group, meditation and yoga. It was such a relaxing week with lovely people that I would love to do again :)

The Center was an amazing experience! Moabi was so welcoming, and taught us so many techniques to connect with ourselves. It was also so lovely to experience this with a group of likeminded people, and form friendships which will last!

My time at the Center was truly amazing. Moabi is a great host and goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and safe. We ate great food, did a lot of meditating and Kundalini Yoga. Even the work was fun. The hours were respected and Moabi was really flexible with the tasks. I would reccommend this experience to everyone who needs to reconnect with themselves and nature.

An absolute gem hidden in Portugal. It's not just about working and profit exchange, it is also a relaxing and discovery journey for the world and even yourself with numerous fun and exciting activities. There's never a short supply of friendly faces the Center. Host Moabi and Gennaro are such great People who's always dutifully on call all the time going above and beyond making it a beautiful experience.

This place is full of good memories and I will always remember these days at the Center! Moabi took care of our feelings, all the activities she arranged were perfect. We worked together in the morning；In the afternoon, we practiced yoga, meditated. In the night, we sat around the campfire together, circling, and danced like crazy together! In the process, I felt some changes in my body and have a more peaceful mood. There wasn't a lot of noise in my head.This is my ideal volunteer home, where wonderful relationships between people arise. I very much hope to return to this place!

The Center was a super nice place surrounded by nature, where I felt welcome since the moment I arrived. It was nice to do the work (oiling a house that they build theirself, removing plants/weeds to make the place look better) and I did enjoy the self development things we did through kundalini yoga and meditation. All the food we had was so good, I'm even thinking now of becoming conpletely vegetarian as well. It was a great week, thanks Moabi!
