I had a great time at the Center. The people were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the place itself is beautiful. Working in the garden and helping prepare meals was both rewarding and enjoyable. I learned so much during my time there, from practical garden knowledge to mindfulness practices, and through shared experiences with the other volunteers. There was a real sense of community. Overall, it was an amazing opportunity to reset and reflect, while eating healthy and living simply. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and fun experience.

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 time at the Center was transformative! The vibrant energy and lush nature felt like a soul sanctuary. I supported yoga, meditation, and eco-initiatives, embracing a greener life. The warm community felt like family, and the detox program left me renewed. Yoga and meditation brought peace, while a volunteer car made exploration easy. Sustainability inspired me—composting and plant-based ideas sparked creativity. Work was intense but rewarding, balanced by nature walks. the Center is a haven for green living and yoga lovers! 🌿🧘‍♀️

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
