I've had a really good time in the project! Luana and Dennis are super helpful, generous and just wonderful people, same goes for their son Inti🌼 Sarah and Ishi are extremely knowledgeable and it's easy to loose sense of time talking with them🤭 I've learned a lot not only from all of them but also from this different way of living, close to nature and much more conscious living everyday life🌱 Thank you so much for taking me amongst your midst of this beautiful community, I'll definitely come back;)

Dennis, Luana, and Inti (their little son) are wonderful people. They were always attentive to what we needed and made us feel at home. I learned a lot about sustainability from Dennis and Ishi (the kind elder and permaculture expert), and discovered new ways of thinking thanks to Luana. Sara (Ishi's wife) was one of the best parts of this experience; she's the most adorable person I've ever met. She has a beautiful soul, and I'll remember her forever. Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a wonderful community. See you soon!

Even though I was only there for a short period of time I really enjoyed staying in the community! It was inspiring, comfortable and heart warming, especially talking to Sarah and Ichi which I spent most of the time working with in the permaculture garden. I was able to vary my working hours and take enough rest:) The forest is truly a growing paradise and I loved to be part of the project!

My stay at the project was truly amazing. I met many beautiful souls who were willing to teach me about life, permaculture, using power tools, community building and more. I felt very safe, taken care of and I had loads of fun with residents and other volunteers. I couldn't have imagined a better first volunteering experience :)

This has been the most wonderful travel experience I had in the last two years. the project is a beautiful place and Dennis and Luana are amazing people. I felt right at home and like I could show up just the way I am. Nobody expects you to be anything other than yourself. There is a very mature and down to earth energy in the project. I've learnt an incredible amount about permaculture, community lifestyle and everything that comes with it. The tasks are varied and you are motivated to do the things that you like or want to learn more about. There's a lot of space to grow. Truly incredible.
