The project is a very beautyfull place, with view to the nearby sea & Eolian islands. During my stay we did maintenance work, animal care and some rebuilding. There are lots of materials prepared for the next construction projects..waiting for right time & people. I enjoyed the meditative rythm with fires, peaceful vibes and sounds of nature, because I came tired from noisy and rush city life. I relaxed there during these evenings and recharged my inner bateries. We also made amazing tours around, to the pool of the mermaids, the lonely beach, the holy beach and up the project.

Incredible moments at the project. Christian was an excellent host. At first it was a little difficult to communicate but by talking we arrived at ONLY SOLUTIONS! Contact with nature is total. I met exceptional people and places. The tasks are easy, you just have to listen to the instructions well. I hope to return in the future to see the progress on the construction projects. GOOD VOLUNTEERING.

I had a fantastic time at the project! I ended up staying longer than originally planned. A project rooted in living in tune with nature, and the future plans for the project is very exciting. Christian showed me a lot of beautiful places near by. Diving with the fish at the pool of mermaids, and jumping from a cliff at a beautiful beach. I met amazing people and got experiences I will remember for a lifetime. I'm exited to see the progress of the project. I will definitely return! Thank you for everything!

The time in the project was life changing! We needed a little bit of time to adapt in to a new lifestyle but when we did it was hard to say goodbye. It was really amazing to meet and create a such a strong bond with other volunteers from all around the world. Christian is also an understanding person, who tries as best as he can to create the place and experience at the project even more unforgettable. If you want to reconnect with nature, understand and learn what truly and actually matters to you, this is a place to do so!

The project was an amazing experience! It is important to say that eventhought it is not for everybody,(you are sleeping on a tent and the toilet is literally a bucket ) for me was one of the best experiences of my life. People from all around the world were coliving and sharing everything. I absolutly loved the great people I met there. It was not really great organized as Christian was really busy and had back pain so he couldnt be with us much. This was my first experience but surely not my last. I love you all.

Hello Sara, it's a pleasure that you enjoyed your time.
More than my back pain, I was busy organizing (mostly in the background) everyday life for so many others who were unable to listen and did not respect the simple rules. In the future such people have to leave immediately. Than the mood will be better.
The biggest “pain” I felt for them afterwards when they even continued to spread negative energy. Sad for them, I believe in karma. The more you give the more you get.
It's a shame that some people couldn't appreciate what they received and didn't learn much during their time here. I'm glad you did - and do still.
In the future you will also be warmly welcomed at the Adventure Hill as well on tours.
All the best on your way of life!
Christian
