I had such a wonderful time at the project! Silvia, the house manager, was absolutely perfect for the role - so welcoming, organised & kind. All of the other staff were just as lovely and made me feel right at home. The location itself is stunning - peaceful, grounding & full of beauty. Ruby & Dimi have truly created something special here. Some of my favorite moments were harvesting fresh produce from the garden, cooking together, swimming in the pool & sharing stories around the dinner table. Thank you to everyone at the project for creating such a heart-filled space 🧡

I had a very fulfilling experience volunteering here. It was a welcoming environment where you were treated as an individual. The work is very fair and it's enjoyable when everyone is helping out. I would recommend to volunteers looking for a meaningful experience and forming connections with the other people and the location.

Spending two weeks at the project made such a positive impact on my understanding of sustainable and community living, from how work was conducted in the house and gardens and the welcoming and inclusive environment built by the staff and other volunteers, my short time spent there felt much longer due to the breadth and fullness of my experience! Being able to get involved with so many aspects of work, having time to enjoy the house and its surroundings and the kindness of everyone there made it such an enriching two weeks!

Hi Susannah, we thank you for your kind words. We cannot thank you enough for your time and effort here. You were responsible, trustworthy, and always ready to lend a hand. Beyond the work itself, you brought kindness, humour, and creativity, which enriched the experience for everyone. You left a lasting impression and we’d be delighted to host you again in the future.

During these months I've been helping out with weddings as a barmaid, which has been a lot of work but also a lot of fun. It's such a magical place for such a beautiful ceremony. Everyone is really supportive and I'm grateful for the opportunity, definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn, grow and be part of something beautiful 🧡
