I stayed at the Center for almost three weeks and enjoyed every minute. the Center family was very welcoming, and I felt right at home. The food that was cooked was some of the best food I have ever eaten and all natural. The work could be challenging at times, I mainly moved stones and dug up Earth to help with bio construction. But it was incredibly gratifying. This is the perfect place to disconnect and spend intimate time with nature. You're surrounded by beautiful mountains and a Serene River to visit. I am very grateful for my stay, and I plan to visit again in the future.

My time at the Center was amazing! Everyone there is so kind and welcoming. the Center philosophy is something so important in todays world. If you're looking to expand your environmental awareness, delve into spirituality, and are up for a challenge, I highly recommend this place. I learned a lot and met some great people (the Center's and other volunteers).
