Spending 2 weeks at the Center was the perfect opportunity to find true balance with both myself and nature. I had some lovely conversations with Esther and Bart, and also learned many valuable skills essential for off-grid living.

I've had truly special days at the Center. Esther, Bart & Rosa are some of the most loving and genuine people I've ever met, they make you feel at home from the very first moment. The tent was surprisingly luxurious, and falling asleep to the sound of the river was pure healing. Exploring the forest and the mountain nearby with their wonderful dogs, joining the Tai Chi sessions and guided meditations… these are moments I'll carry in my heart forever. Hartelijk dank ❤️

Esther and Bart were incredibly welcoming, kind and generous. This was my first worldpacker experience and it has set the bar high. This is a great experience if you want to get in touch with nature and yourself, I learnt a lot and also enjoyed doing a variety of jobs - from gardening to painting to sewing to making a mosaic. I have left feeling fulfilled and at peace 😊💫

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
