I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay in this place for a month and a half. The food is delicious, the people are very kind, I had the opportunity to learn about Ayurveda, Buddhism, yoga and many things that will serve me for the rest of my life. Thanks to Ishara, Valerie, Navi, Yiyang, Liz, Proboda, Tim and all the people I met, they are now part of this beautiful story that I have built while traveling. ❤️ I will be forever grateful!

This was my first experience as a volunteer and it was wonderful!! I would do it again and I am sure next year I will visit this place again for a longer period It is a quiet, beautiful place that inspires peace, disconnection from the outside world to reconnect with yourself. The work is pleasant and is carried out by all members of the team. Some of the food is grown on site. And I learned about Ayurveda, which is very good for my profession as a holistic doctor. If you are looking for a place to take a break, eat healthy and get closer to nature and while helping with the work. 100%
