The Experience

Luisa and Pujari are really good people. I see the idea they have for their place. But at the moment there are a lot of unbalanced things which makes it harder to have the amazing experience you could. The place needs a change to make it attractive and fun again. So I truely hope that they can find a way to make that change happen.

Yes Ronja,
Property with renovation works in progress not allowing the hosts to be more present and your big expectation of a community instead of a meditation center didn't work out.
Wishing you the best for your community project.

To be part of this project for one month was really beautiful. Luisa and Pujari take really good care of the volunteers, it was so nice to share with them. The routine of morning exercise and evening meditation is super nice. Everything is very good organised, so you now what you have to do and manage you free time. I recommend this experience if you want to work with you body, share with different people, learn to meditated and be part of this way of life.

Lombos garden is a very peaceful place where you can connect with the present moment through work and silence. You will learn a lot about gardening and make great friends. Thank you Luisa and Pujari for the opportunity and all the best!

Thank you, Luisa and Pujari! It was a very good experience working in Lombos Garden. It's such a nice place with a very good energy. I liked how the day was organized so that each step of the day had its meaning and value. Morning yoga helped so much to get ready for the day and take care of our body and minds. Evening meditation was relaxing end for the day. I got new knowledge and saw how every task in this garden is connected to other tasks. We had a very good group of volunteers. And both Luisa and Pujari are so nice and caring.
