The Experience

Sacred Earth is a community of like-minded individuals, living life more connected to self, nature and others. We offer weekly classes of yoga/meditation and events that encourage people to return and connect more deeply to themselves. Our volunteers play a crucial role in maintaining our spaces. Karma Yoga, or the yoga of action, focuses on performing tasks with awareness, care, and love, aiming for the greater good rather than personal gain.

I had an amazing time at the Center. The work which was sometimes a little strenuous was still very satisfying. I met a lot of wonderful people here and it was the perfect start to my trip. Truly enjoyed cooking dinners with fellow volunteers and the residents. Would definitely want to visit again.

The Center Heart is such an amazing environment with amazing people<3 I only stayed two weeks, and would have gladly stayed longer!! Everywhere you go around the Center is just so beautiful <3 Communication before getting there could have been better, I was only confirmed the day before my arrival that there was somebody who was coming to pick me up + when I got there there was nobody to welcome me. Also, be aware that if you get there on a working day (Wednesday, Thursday or Friday) you will have to work a make up day so just keep that in mind when booking :) I definitely recommend the Center

I had a great time at the Center! After 4 months travelling it was the perfect way to slow things down surrounded by nature, waterfalls, hikes, beaches and likeminded people. 2 weeks was the perfect amount of time but I could've stayed longer as the people I met were incredible! The work I did involved digging holes for planting flowers/foundations for decking, trimming hedges and bushes to clear pathways, carrying chopped wood in a rucksack to the AirBnb properties and I did a bit of social media content idea planning. If you want to know more - meals, things to do etc drop me a message

This place is so beautiful. A bit isolated, the cheapest uber to anywhere is 40$ but it was such a beautiful experience. I loved all the other volunteers and the landscaping will take your breath away everytime. I wish i was there longer to appreciate all of Hema's homecooked meals and the energy of the place. I hope to come back soon, i miss it already❤️

I had a wonderful time at the Center, I committed to 2 weeks but left after 1 week due to my poor planning, fayre was very understanding. You feel disconnected from urban life which took some getting used to / plus the jet lag affected my sleep. The basic work is 6-7 hrs Wednesday to Friday , I did gardening , wood chopping/stacking and some domestic chores inside to get out of the sun. You get 1hr lunch together. The location is stunning , I met some amazing people who will leave a long lasting impression. Hema's food ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Uncle Phil's music ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
