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.

I had a really great volunteering experience at the project. The community feels very welcoming, and Luana and Denis really put effort into making us feel at home. I also enjoyed the work – we were allowed to work independently or together with other volunteers on many different projects, which taught me a lot and kept things interesting. It is a really nice spot to comnect with nature

This was my first volunteer experience and it was truly incredible. Luana and Dennis were understanding, transparent, kind and very hospitable. They were very patient when it came to any learning curves that came with the work and they facilitated a beautiful environment. The balance between work and rest was great. There are many other families, couples and individuals on the property who are kind hearted and beautiful. I loved working and playing with the kids as well as working on the permaculture with Ichi and the other volunteers, I also did some additional projects to be done!
