I had such an amazing and heart opening experience at the Center! It is a truly special place with special people. I very much enjoyed helping out around the center while learning about Buddhism. This place felt like home from day one, thank you so much Eleni for having me! I cannot recommend the Center enough if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place, and if you are ready to take care of this place like it will care for you. Big love the Center, I hope to be back someday!

The Center was for my first volunteer. It was much better than I expected. It's a place with a special energy. the Center helped me disconnect from the world to connect with myself. If you want to be in contact with nature, wake up listening to birds and walk while watching cows, this is your place. I can only say good things about this place and especially about Eleni, she made my days in the Center happier. I hope that the next volunteers will respect and take care of this beautiful and special place. Thanks the Center.
