The stay at the TKIRC was amazing. The reviews aren't lying. They are super super nice, welcoming and open-minded. I can 100% recommend them to a volunteer. I did chores like grounds, gardening and working in the kitchen. I am coeliac which means I have to eat gluten free and they found a great solution with me for that. I'm very grateful for the time.

To volunteer in the Center was an incredible experience. I had the opportunity to meet the residents, volunteers from all over the world and of course, locals. I mostly worked in the café and I absolutely loved it. Everything is made with love and good energies and you can definitely feel those vibes at any moment. If you're looking for a comfy, safe and relaxing place to stay, I would recommend you this place!!

The Center is a lovely center, I had a great experience! Work it's not hard, it can be more demanding according to your position (household, kitchen, cafe, grounds…) which we only find out daily in the morning. Food is delicious, room is good, people are nice! It's kinda far from everything so if you want to focus on your inner self, it's a good place!
