My experience was exactly what I needed to live. I was in a beautiful place, surrounded by nature, where everything was prepared to welcome me. I felt safe and didn't have to think much, as everything was very well organized — I just had to follow the instructions and do the work as best as I could. This gave me the opportunity to engage in deep inner work, with moments that challenged me and moments that embraced me. It also gave me the chance to meet people who are deeply committed to their own inner work, some of whom became very close to me. Im very greateful for the opportunity.

My experience at the project was amazing, I learned so much. The food was amazing, accommodation was great and the people I met were the cherry on the cake. Everyone was so nice and tried to help me. I definitely recommend to volunteer here if you are interested in meditation. :) Thanks Sina and Martina for everything 💗

The Kloster the project was a lovely place for me to spend 3 weeks. Their profile is very accurate regarding the work exchange. The physical space is gorgeous and the people are very accomodating. I do not think this experience is for every traveler, but if after reading about the experience, you are intrigued, I would consider coming! I highly recommend visiting if you are looking for a place of quiet to work and/or are on a spiritual journey on your own. There is some opportunity to collaborate and grow with others but for the most part you will have lots of free time in nature alone.
