I had the most rejuvenating and fun 5 weeks here at the Center beach! I truly felt at home as I settled into my tent. I learnt how to surf, do Breathwork and was encouraged to step out of my comfort zone and teach yoga and workouts to other volunteers and locals. This place is truly something so special. This is like an all inclusive resorts! We were taken out to town and to different beaches on many occasions and to see other parts of Rizal. I truly feel blessed to have learnt from Jasher and made relationships with so many locals and boys working on this project. Thank you!
