I had an awesome week at the Center with Deirdre and Bill. It is such a tranquil place, and I was able to really disconnect from my everyday life. I was there during a the Center, and helped with food preparation and clearing up. I learnt so much from cooking with Deirdre in her kitchen. I also was able to chat with the guests and loved walking around the property and picking almonds. I walked to Comares too, which was one of my highlights. I loved my little spot in the caravan on top of the hill too. Incredible energy and amazing views! the Center is a special place! and would r

We had an amazing time at the Center! Deidre and Bill are both very very nice, and so are their four sweet dogs!We felt at home right from the start, and really enjoyed staying up in the caravan. It offered great views and privacy. We mostly stayed in the kitchen, helping Deidre cook and prepare the meals. We really enjoyed her cooking, so it was great to get some behind the scenes. We didn't have the time / possibility to join a lot of yoga classes, but we did our own up by the van which was nice ! If you stay longer and like hiking, we recommend walking to comares! (2,5 hour hike ish)

Our experience at the Center couldn't have been better! Deirdre and Bill are truly caring and deeply kind. The work is quite flexible and consists mainly of helping in the kitchen and cleaning the main areas. We stayed in the caravan high up in the grounds, which was very cozy and offered privacy. I would love to come back to the Center in these beautiful mountains. Thanks again
