I volunteered at the project for two weeks. Tasks varied daily I did gardening, cleaning, and most memorably mosaic making with Shankari. Working with her was inspiring; her energy and story uplift everyone, and the mosaic-filled the project is beautiful. The 3h workday allowed to explore the nearby village, nature, and sea. A highlight was being invited to Shankari's birthday, which made me feel truly welcomed. The only downsides were cat pee odors in the rooms and one shared bathroom with no lock. The community atmosphere was very welcoming, and I felt comfortable and included there.

Staying at the project Artist Sanctiary was an experience I'll cherish for the rest of my life. I've never been to such an establishment filled with creativity, magic, and alchemy. Making beautiful art pieces and mosaics out of broken tiles, I really was able to apply these practices to my life. the project was an excellent role model, always sharing stories of her adventurous life and providing many lite lessons that made me think. I was able to create my own piece that I was able to take home and I am so happy with the outcome. A peaceful, minimalist, and slow life that l will never forget :)

My time at the project was great! Perfect for my first Worldpackers. I was there to take photographs of the jewellery and although that did not always work out I did not mind at all as doing the mosaic was creative and rewarding work. Shankai and her son (who helped manage the volunteers) were very interesting and welcoming people and the slow life in the village was beautiful.
