This was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't be happier with my time here. the Center is a magical place and the land it is on is very special. Esther Bart and Rosa are so wonderful and inviting and make you feel safe, accepted and at home immediately. I was given many gifts here and feel that the land holds something very special. If you are looking to connect deeper with yourself and with nature this is a perfect place to do so. All the tasks were also enjoyable and there was a lot of flexibility to choose tasks that were of personal interest. If you feel called, go!!!<3

Was a gorgeous experience, esther, bart and rosa make feel welcome, comfortable, safe, part of the family. I really enjoyed my time with them, and the nature, the place it's too much beautiful! The river, the mountains, the Forrest, everything! The work, was easy, in my case they gave me the possibility of help them in the things that I choose, in my Hobies. So for me wasn't a work.

This place became my home. Esther, Bart, and Rosa made me feel so loved. I reconnected with myself through nature. Tasks were maked with pleasure and joy because the place felt like my own. The hosts were always available for anything I needed. I'm leaving with a happy heart and a free soul. Thank you ❤️

I had an amazing 10 days with Esther and Bart at the Center De the Center. The place is tucked in the nature, right next to a river amid the pyrenees. Esther and Bart make you feel comfortable and being your most authentic self is always encouraged and welcomed. The place has a healing energy where you can also sit with yourself and work on yourself (if you are looking for answers) Or you can just work on your skills such as Carpentry, Cooking, Painting or Cleaning and Working amid the nature. I would recommend this 10/10.

My stay was a very special & transformative. I really learned how to slow down and be in touch with myself/ nature. I learned a lot about living sustainably and harmony with the land around me. Ester/Bart/ Rosa made sure I was comfortable and cared for. The tasks was based on what you was interested in and flexible in times/ days to do them.Living in the mountains was very awe inspiring, so much beautiful majestic nature & wildlife to see/ explore through. It was worth the trip and hopefully it will be for many future volunteers! Feel free to message with any questions about the place :)
