I've had such a brilliant experience at the Center — I spent 3 weeks here and loved it. It felt like a little family, just when I needed it after 6.5 months of travelling. Everyone here is kind, and it's been a great place to slow down and be in nature. I got to do so much yoga and hiking (it's a great location for both). I couldn't recommend this place enough — it's been wonderful.

3 weeks of pure joy where I connect with myself, nature and others ! I truly fall in love with the Center ❤️ Everyone is so kind and supportive… You going at your pace without pressure in a healthy environment where you have your own space when you need it ! In the middle of the blue mountains, it's really easy to just go for a hike on your days off or during a brake.

My experience at the Center was good. The location is perfect: immersed in the Blue Mountains, 15' walking distance from the train station. I could go for some beautiful hiking and explore the nearby towns (such as Katoomba) with ease. The accomodation and the food were very good as well: food healthy and tasty and accomodation very cosy (both cabins and Dream). I wish there were more opportunities of socializing with people and sharing/learning from each other. Anyway, I enjoyed my time with the other volunteers as much as I could, and that made my stay so good.

My experience at the Center was honestly sooo amazing! The people are incredibly welcoming and you will feel like your a part of the team really fast. People who have stayed longer and know the area will help you with any questions or concerns, and you will share the experience with other travelers! On you free time you can join the yoga or drumming classes, and there are incredible hiking trails nearby. Everything necessary such as grocery stores and a library with a wifi is within a walking distance. AND I cannot stop talking about how good the food is!! Highly recommend this place❤️❤

Volunteering at this yoga retreat center was truly special. The atmosphere is peaceful and inspiring, surrounded by nature and filled with kind-hearted people.I had the chance to grow both personally and spiritually, while also contributing to a meaningful cause. The daily yoga sessions, delicious healthy meals, and the deep conversations created a beautiful balance between work and self-discovery. I'm incredibly grateful for the time I spent here, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a mindful and rewarding volunteer opportunity. Thank you!! 🫶🏻✨
