My experience at the organization Center was truly amazing! I spent two weeks surrounded by beautiful mountains and wonderful people. The tasks vary depending on whether there's a the organization happening, but most of the time you'll be helping in the kitchen, gardening, or cleaning. I also had the chance to learn more about Buddhism, which was very enriching. Thank you so much for this opportunity. A big hug to the staff, especially Sophie, Leti, and Tiger!

My time at the organization was such a peaceful, fulfilling & fun experience! Sohpie was a delight & so helpful during my time there. If you're looking for a serene, quiet, & absolutely breathtaking place to enjoy nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps then this is the place for you!! The tasks were simple & easy to manage. They were super flexible with time & let me choose days off & accommodated my schedule :) I will miss this place & the cat Tiger so much!!

What an incredible 2 weeks! Sophie and the crew were all incredibly kind and welcoming. the organization is surrounded by breathtaking hikes, it is the perfect place to find peace. The work expectation's are clear and flexible to your skills. It's a great team effort, taking turns to prepare meals for everyone. I really enjoyed painting and helping outside. It was also amazing to learn more about the organization and sit in on guided meditations (thank you Leticia). So grateful for my time here and hope to return!!

Volunteering at the organization was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to slow down, relax, and to be closer to nature. The work was reasonable and not stressful at all. The food was wonderful. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was very kind and humble. The nature was spectacular. The views of the mountains were very breathtaking. Note: If you are unable to walk up and down about 5 flights of stairs each day this is not for you. I hope to come back and volunteer again!
