I have so much gratitude for my time here. I loved living here and helping where ever I could. Being in nature. It was very relaxing, like a little retreat for my soul. The people were amazing the animals were amazing I loved it all. I think my favourite part of helping was getting to paint Hels little house with clay from the earth. And the food, everyone getting a chance to cook for everyone else, eating meals together. Great company, deep talks. I have nothing bad to say :)) Hels if your reading this Thankyou I appreciate you :)))

Hels, if you're reading this, I wish you abundance in love and happiness, you're a beacon of light. 🌟 For future volunteers: This place changed me — come with an open heart and let it change you too.

Staying at the community was a truly meaningful experience! The people are very kind and open, the animals are super cute and the nature is just beautiful. Helios is a welcoming, inspiring person and a great host :) I'm very grateful for the time I could spend here. It's the perfect place if you want to experience off-grid living in nature within a peaceful community that feels like family 🫶🏼

I loved staying at the community. helios is a wonderful person, they're very welcoming, accepting and loving. i fell in love with the place, especially the nature, the second i got there. it is a wonder place to learn more about yourself and about other people. i met such beautiful souls there who will always have a big piece of my heart! the animals are so cute, they will accompany you on every walk or hike you take and they love to cuddle. the place is very off grid and when i stayed there the wifi broke, but that was the best to connect really deeply with the place. i will 100% come back!!

Maria's energy touched my heart & i'm so grateful to have met them. Super responsible and gave the animals a lot of love and care. She helped look after the place while I was away and became head of kitchen and bar, with Marta at our event. Maria is someone I really hope to have back to visit or stay long term. They made a great impact on this place and helped set the tone for the season. Thanks so much!

I felt really welcomed at the very first time of my arrival! You have a lot of time to think in an environment without distractions and you can do anything you want. I arrived at a busy time when a lot of things and events were going on so sometimes communication was a bit chaotic but I think It will be more okay now since a lot of things are done. You can have a great chats with open minded people that do not judge you at all and even get inspired. This is a definitely place that you want to visit more than once. Also there are a LOOOT of flies, so for a peaceful sleep brint your own net

The host will remain in my heart forever!🫶🏻 It is undoubtedly an ideal place to connect with nature and learn to live in freedom!! Thanks to Helios fo your energy and optimism always, for opening the doors of this beautiful place in the middle of nature. If you want to come and have a Detox from everything and learn to lead a calm life this place has it all!! You can enjoy the forest, life with animals as part of the host's family and learn to cook delicious vegetarian food 🍃☀️ Btw the host has the clearest, most star-filled sky I have ever seen! ☄️
