My experience at the Center was amazing. I loved working in the garden, cooking, and getting to know all the wonderful staff and volunteers. This place is magical, and I highly recommend it!

Volunteering at the Center for a month was an incredible and enriching experience. The place is deep in nature, which makes it easy to unplug from the outside world and reconnect with yourself. I met wonderful, open-hearted people from different backgrounds, joined yoga and meditation sessions, and explored the stunning Algarve region on my days off using the shared car. The work during programs can be intense, but it's totally fair considering the delicious vegetarian food, cozy rooms, and peaceful vibe. I highly recommend this magical place to anyone seeking inner balance!

My experience at the Center was amazing! In the first days I felt some discomfort - this place holds a lot of energy! But then I started a deep inner journey. I had many moments of solitude, reflection, connection with nature, and felt a powerful cleanse. The hosts and most of the staff were very kind. I joined yoga and meditation classes when I could, and even participated in the detox fasting program, for which I'm deeply grateful. Having a car for volunteers is a huge plus! Work can be intense during the program, but fair. It's definitely a place I recommend :) MV is magical! <3

I'm very greatful for my 7weeks@ MV! Espacially for having the opportunity to support the facilitators with offering body-mind-connection talks, Meditation&Breathwork evenings,conscious-nature walks& 2h-Yoga classes! This experience gave me a space to learn&grow professionaly.I also juiced&cooked a lot& even could participate at 7-days-juice-detox:)This place is perfect to connect with nature& has a lot to offer, even when its sometimes chaotic& emotional-due to lots of volunteers coming,going&living together&little time to explain/communicate well as everyone is busy.Thanks for the learnings*
