I had a wonderful time volunteering at the Center. I came with little knowledge of meditation or asana, but Dada is an incredible teacher—patient, incredibly kind, and generous with his time and knowledge. I got to connect with locals, explored Guatemala City its surroundings. Dada is also an amazing cook, and we ate healthy, super delicious meals three times a day. I'm truly grateful for this experience, as it opened my eyes to a beautiful philosophy of life that I hope to develop further. Would highly recommend to anyone even slightly interested in meditation :)!

You arrived at just the right moment, with the right ideas—and you brought them to life so beautifully. Your presence and your work here couldn’t have been more aligned with what we needed. Keep learning, keep growing, and keep moving forward—you have everything it takes to make a meaningful difference wherever you go.

“I was more than happy to do my volunteering here during these two weeks. It was a truly rejuvenating experience that allowed me to reconnect with myself. Dada is very kind and caring, and I learned a lot about the practice of yoga and the universe of the ashram. I would be more than happy to come back.”

I’m always amazed by how each volunteer brings something uniquely valuable to the ashram—whether through their skills, personality, or spirit. And you truly brought it all. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Please keep taking good care of your body, mind, and soul :)

It truly warms my heart to hear how much you benefited from your stay with us. But honestly, we gained just as much—if not more—from your gentle, warm presence and all the incredible work you did! Thanks to you, our social media presence grew significantly, and we’re deeply grateful for everything you contributed.

I had a great time volunteering at the host in Guatemala. A lot was lived and experienced in just two weeks. I learned a little bit of everything, from meditation and yoga, to culinary and local culture. Dada is a great person, very open and fun to be with! I am leaving a better person than I came, and that's what the ashram is all about. Thank you Dada and all the other volunteers and guests for all the great moments we got to share. Oh, and finally -- their food is GREAT! I have never eaten so well in my life 😅

The Center is a quiet and sweet place with incredible food. The volunteering was as agreed upon but if you're doing social media I would recommend having experience; Dada has worked in film. I recommend doing research on AnandaMarga (the organization it is a part of) and Tantra Yoga before applying. It is a great place to explore these specific spiritual practices, as it's focused on the organization's teachings.
