I had such a beautiful experience! Bouwie is such a kind and welcoming soul. He does a great job of ensuring you're comfortable and feel you have space to ask questions and prioritize your boundaries. I would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to learn more about the community-the community living and life- I learned so much. Even being the community-the community and in The Forest, Bouwie made sure to show me Dutch culture and traditions as I shared I wanted to learn all about it when I arrived. 3 weeks wasn't long enough, and I will definitely miss all the great cooking and sense of community.

Had an amazing time here. It is such a beautiful area and bouwie is such a caring person. I loved getting to know the land and the people here. I was here in autumn and really want to come back in the summer to enjoy a swim in the river and experience more sunny days however, autumn was still so beautiful and created such a cozy vibe. I didn't get to see the others in the community so much but that was okay as I liked having some independence and alone time

The magic forest which such an amazing experience!! I got the opportunity to improve my gardening, construction, and general handyman knowledge whilst still being able to absorb all the beautiful nature around me. I don't know if it's listed but one of my favourite things to do was take a dip in a nearby stream when I had free time. The food was great, all from the community garden, forest, or locally sourced. The accomodation was very cozy as well. And of course the main man himself Bouwie is such a generous, fun-loving guy and Im sure anyone would have a blast!

This is the perfect place for anyone who wants to learn about sustainability and permaculture. Bouwie will welcome you into his home with open arms, and do everything possible to make you comfortable. During my two weeks here I got to develop my green thumb and live the community and completely immersed in nature. The living village community is wonderful, and everyone in the forest was so nice. I got to exist in their community and help out around the project and coexist with nature. Thank you Bouwie and everyone else in the village for a wonderful experience!

Hello. I must confess I was hesitant about starting my volunteer program with Bouwie since he didn't have many reviews. However, I must say it was the best decision for my first volunteer experience. Simply put, Bouwie is someone you'll love from start to finish. He's always attentive from your arrival to your last day. The place is wonderful, as you'll be in the forest surrounded by very kind and warm people. You'll have plenty of opportunities to relax, and if you like to meditate, what better place than this. Bouwie cooks exquisite dishes, and you'll never go hungry, believe me

Hi there! Talking about Bouwie 🤔 He's a kind and wise man who always treats you like an equal. You know he is the host, but he is always there to teach you and explain (sometimes more than 3 times 🫠) the things you should do. I've stayed there for 3 weeks, and the time went by so fast. I learned a lot, and I have only just started to assimilate. Being part of Bouwie's project means being part of a beautiful community where everyone helps each other. It's really nice to have this kind of experience, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and help be part of this beautiful project.

Bouwie is a wonderful host and made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. The Forrest is such a beautiful place and what Bouwie and the community are doing with sustainable the community living is awesome and I got to learn so much in my short time there. I only did 1 week but I would recommend 2 weeks. I couldn't recommend this program more for anyone who loves nature and trying new things!
