I don't recommend this place. Kedar needs to improve his communication skills urgently. He never said anything about not liking that I spent my free time in the main house, just decided to finish my project and asked me to leave asap 'cause I was "bothering his peace" by using the house instead of staying in my cabin (that was infested by bed bugs and I had an allergic reaction since week 1). I also didn't had a good time with their employee David, that after a misunderstanding in our tasks schedule said he didn't want to work with me anymore, and Kedar agreed without even talk to me first.

Dear Karolinny,
We appreciate your feedback, but we must clarify some points regarding your time volunteering with us. Our program requires volunteers to engage actively in assigned tasks, contributing to the community atmosphere. Unfortunately, we found you often comfortable directing others rather than participating, and would leave tasks incomplete when things didn’t go your way. This behavior created challenges for the team and left little opportunity for collaborative efforts.
Upon your arrival on December 15th, you resisted training and preferred to handle tasks independently, which led to frequent mistakes and delays. Despite our efforts to address these issues, your approach remained unchanged. This behavior impacted not only the workflow but also the harmony of our team.
Regarding the conflict with our employee, David, we sought to mediate and resolve the situation. However, your response was dismissive, which made it difficult to find a resolution and, unfortunately, led to a breakdown in communication and cooperation.
As for your accommodations, we acknowledged your discomfort due to the reported bite marks and promptly offered a different cabin to ensure proper treatment of your original space. You declined this option and chose to manage the situation independently with basic bug spray. While we take such matters seriously, no evidence of bedbugs was found upon inspection.
When it became apparent that there were no suitable tasks left for you, we discussed this candidly with you. Your response, which included requests unrelated to your volunteering commitment, showed little willingness to contribute to our community’s needs.
Our program is designed to foster a positive and collaborative environment for all participants. We strive to support those who are genuinely interested in mutual growth and learning. Your reluctance to engage meaningfully made it difficult to achieve this goal during your stay.
We hope this feedback will help in future volunteering opportunities, encouraging a more open and cooperative approach.
Best regards,
Kedar and the Team

It is the perfect place to connect with yourself and nature, to learn about spirituality and meditation. I am very grateful to Ra and Keda for their hospitality and all their teaching. I never felt pressured or "nagged" to do daily chores, plus I learned how to cook delicious recipes and about their business. There will be no way to thank you for all that I learned about myself with your help. Thank you so much. 🧡😺

We had the pleasure of hosting Janin, and her time with us was truly enriching. Her willingness to contribute and her high level of commitment to the tasks were remarkable. Rajesh was particularly impressed with her dedication and the quality of her work.
Her commitment to daily spiritual practice was inspiring, and her inquisitive mind brought depth and insight to our morning talking circles and daily meditations. She embodied the spirit of our community, embracing every opportunity to learn and grow.
Janin will always be welcome back at our place. We wish her the very best in all her future endeavors and look forward to seeing her again.
Warm regards,
Kedar and Rajesh

Can't say enough about the place and people. Everything was beyond expectations. It's the prefect place to be quite, encounter yourself and you will get a lot of support from the community. Kedar and Rajesh are lovely people, who would make you feel at home. Everyone was very likeminded and intentional with everything they do and share.

We were thrilled to have Daniela join us as a volunteer. Her time here was truly a gift to our community. Daniela brought a wonderful sincerity to our practices, enriching our daily activities with her open and heartfelt sharing. Her presence in our talking circles and meditations added depth and warmth, creating an inviting space for everyone.
Her creativity shone through the beautiful signs she created, which now guide our guests on the trails. These signs not only provide direction but also inspire a sense of connection with nature, reflecting Daniela's artistic touch and thoughtful spirit.
Daniela, you're always welcome back to our place, and we wish you all the best on your journey. We hope to see you again soon!
Warm regards,
Kedar and Rajesh

The care and consideration taken by Kedarnathan and Rajesh (& all 6+ cats) to host such a welcoming and spiritually enriching environment, is unexplainable in words. I have learnt so much about myself, mindfulness, meditation, patience, and community. Everything is provided, you really don't have to worry about anything other than how much longer you'll extend ;) There is great communication and flexibility within the schedule, dietary preferences, work tasks etc. This is truly a place where I felt very seen and welcomed, with so many opportunities for self improvement and healing.

Bella, your time with us was nothing short of incredible, and we truly miss having you here. Your impeccable karma yogi attitude set a shining example for everyone, and your willingness to take on even the most tedious yet essential tasks was deeply appreciated. The floor gap filling project you tackled is holding up beautifully and serves as a cherished memory of your contributions.
Your presence was a beacon of authenticity, as you allowed yourself to be real, raw, and vulnerable. This openness encouraged others to be true to themselves and to connect more deeply with their own challenges, creating a space for genuine healing and growth.
Your culinary skills delighted us all, and your friendship was a treasure. I, Kedar, found so much in common with you; it felt like a connection that could have continued for many months. We are incredibly proud of your inner strength and courage to follow your intuition and step into the unknown.
You will always be welcome back to this second home of yours. We hope our paths cross again soon, and until then, we wish you all the best on your journey.
With love and gratitude,
Kedar, Rajesh, and all the cats

Rajesh and Kedar have a beautiful home with 6 beautiful cats with them. Kedar believes in sharing what he has and I am fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of this. Writing this on my way back with a smile on my face, so much to be grateful for, so much to be sorry about, so much to just “let it sit with you and see how it feels”. I'm not a changed person but I'm definitely wiser, stronger and weaker now. I really hope I can share some of what I felt with the people around me and pass it on. Come in with an intention. Booli my guy I'm coming for your babies watch out!

Chirag was a wonderful addition to our community during his stay. His culinary skills were outstanding, and he delighted everyone with the delicious meals he prepared. Chirag was always willing to lend a hand wherever needed, and his work on the wood-chopping tasks and clearing the trails was invaluable.
It was a pleasure to see him embrace the challenges with enthusiasm, gaining wisdom and strength along the way. His openness to learning and personal growth was truly inspiring.
Chirag, your presence brought warmth and positivity to our home, and we are grateful for the time you spent with us. We’re excited to hear about the positive impact you’ll share with others, and you are always welcome to return.
Best wishes on your journey, and we hope to see you again soon!
Warm regards,
Kedar and Rajesh
