I loved staying at the community. helios is a wonderful person, they're very welcoming, accepting and loving. i fell in love with the place, especially the nature, the second i got there. it is a wonder place to learn more about yourself and about other people. i met such beautiful souls there who will always have a big piece of my heart! the animals are so cute, they will accompany you on every walk or hike you take and they love to cuddle. the place is very off grid and when i stayed there the wifi broke, but that was the best to connect really deeply with the place. i will 100% come back!!

Maria's energy touched my heart & i'm so grateful to have met them. Super responsible and gave the animals a lot of love and care. She helped look after the place while I was away and became head of kitchen and bar, with Marta at our event. Maria is someone I really hope to have back to visit or stay long term. They made a great impact on this place and helped set the tone for the season. Thanks so much!
