I'm very happy about my stay and grateful for this experience. I recommend you come to volunteer this place with your sincere gratitude, open heart, and the devotion to serve! The place is in an unbeatable location for tranquility. Accommodation is luxurious for volunteers, spacious and fully equipped. The task is very manageable. The host Yongheng/Fatty Bear is organized and diligent, he does a lot of work on his end to get us ready. The host is very hospitable, generous and extremely spiritual, he helped me understanding lots of things happened in life. Thank you so much 🤗🙏💖🌹

My stay at the Center was very nice! Fatty Bear was organized with the work, communicated expectations clearly, and flexible with the schedule. He provided a vehicle to use, and an electric bike. However, the main reason why I chose this particular place was to do YOGA. To him, yoga means a lot of different things, like karma yoga. But to a Westerner, Yoga means a flow of challenging poses combined with breath work lead by an instructor. There is absolutely none of that here. I find the ad slightly misleading as it mentions 'yoga classes'. Not what I expected.

Yongheng (Fatty Bear) has been a great host, the place is warm and cozy, and he is an excellent teacher who had the patience to answer all of my questions (multiple times) helping me to understand who I am and what is my life purpose. I wasn't sure on what to expect from this retreat before I come here, but I'm leaving with the certainty that this experience has forever changed the way I see life and the world. Absolutely recommend it to anyone who is willing to come with an open heart and ready to learn. Working hours were flexible and the jobs weren't too hard! I learnt a lot of new skills
