Could not recommend this more. Living with a family for a couple weeks was so comforting and I personally had the privilege of feeling apart of their family. Dogs and kitties on the property, and lots of activities to do in your free time. The volunteering hours are really chill. Hosts genuinely care about you and your stories. Food is vegetarian but out of this world. Absolutely perfect if you are looking for a community living experience.

We loved our stay at the Center and our hosts Brennan, Sarah and Jarrah were great! Such a unique experience from the standard travelling options and was a great reset.

The Center is just incredible. The place, the people, the peace, you name it. I would totally recommend this place if you want to calm down or just want to have a break from the busy city life. Every day was super chilled but not boring at all. There is always something going on but you can easily take some time for yourself if you want to. (So far it was my favorit place in my 3 months trip).
