The Experience

We are building a beautiful retreat location on a lake outside of Berlin. It's just our second season; we are still building and learning every day. However, we already have lots of guests here, mostly small companies from Berlin, but also yoga and meditation retreats. We are looking for volunteers to help us make our guests happy and assist with gardening and small repairs. We are a small team with a large network of warm-hearted people.

What an amazing place to start our experience! Stephan and Kim were very welcoming, caring and positive towards their project! I had such a beautiful time, from helping in the kitchen, general maintenance , amazing food from the amazing chefs. I did not travel much when I was in Germany, because this is what a needed! A space to reflect, work, talk, enjoy the company of the chefs and the organizers Stephen and Kim! I would highly recommend using the bikes to go for a nice ride, local lakes, and beautiful local ice cream! This place will always hold a special spot in my heart! Thank you!

Neupitz was our first experience as volunteers and we couldn't ask for a better start. Stephan and Kim made us feel like home from the beginning, they were supportive, and truly cared about creating a positive environment for everyone. Tasks were easy to manage and well explained, which made the work stress-free. We usually worked 5 hours broken up during the day, which gave us plenty of free time to explore, rest, or just enjoyed the beautiful property. We're so grateful for this opportunity and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to volunteer, travel, and grow.

This was an incredible experience, I really liked being a volunteer in Neupitz, you learn a lot of useful things and the work place is really beautiful The days that I stayed there were almost no guest, so my work was mainly in gardening and helping with other tasks, but it was really nice and comfortable The food is strictly vegetarian, so if you want some meat products you will have to buy them for yourself, anything else it's covered It's an experience I would love to repeat given the chance.

I had very good time in Neuptiz. Unfortunatly there was no guests during my time volonteering so I didn't work with hospitality but gardening and general maintenace of the house. We were free to organise our timetable what allowed us to enjoy as much as we could our free time at the lac and around. Stephan and kim are super kind and made me feel at home. I'm grateful for this beautiful experience!

THE BEST WORKSTATION TO WORK AT IN THE WORLD! After spending 6 weeks there, I can say with certainty that in Neupitz I reinvented myself, discovered new fears, conquered old ones, practiced my English, my broken German, and learned so much about life and German culture. I'm incredibly grateful to have discovered this place, among the best boss, Stephan, the best staff member, Kim, and the best volunteers! The energy in Neupitz is amazing, along with the town and its surroundings, the people, and the ease of getting to Berlin (just 30 minutes by train, wow!). Volunteers, just dive deep into it.
