Staying at sammatz was a truly amazing experience. I feel like I made so many lifelong connections here and I felt so present in my experience. The work isn't too physically demanding and the tasks are always diverse. The bluehouse is a nice communal space with lots of space and is clean. I hope I'll return at some point in the future :)

From the moment you arrive, you will feel a strange warmth from all the people from different parts of the world around you, a sense of security with all the mentors who will make you feel like home, and harmony in all the paths and tasks you undertake in this place. For me, being in Sammatz is like an incredible flight in a giant airplane. 🫶🏻✈️

It was my second time in Sammatz, and it served to confirm how special this place is. First time I was there was winter season, and now more in the summer style. Both very different times to be there, but both amazingly welcoming and immersing. You can learn a lot, be at peace close to nature, and meet people from all over the world. The community is extremely accommodating, and I couldn't recommend it more. For anyone on the fence about going, I guarantee you won't get disappointed. I intend to come back still. Thank you for everything!
