My 3 week stay at the Center was wonderful! The shared room accommodation was spacious and clean and the food was amazing. Volunteering hours were reasonable and kept on a clear schedule. It was also easy to get to know the other volunteers and spend time in the beautiful nature. I would definitely recommend the Center!

My time at the Center budda retreat was wonderful! Everyone was really nice, the area is very beautiful,I enjoyed the worm in the kitchen and got to work on my housekeeping skills, there are many great yoga classes to participate in and the food is very delicious :) It was also very fun to play the Settelers of Catan and other games with the other volunteers! Thank you for this wonderful time, I would love to come back one day!

The Center will be somewhere that I will visit as much as I can in the future! The people, the environment and the work are all so fulfilling and positive. I've made so many connections here and it truly is a family. The freedom of being able to cook and bake my vegan recipes here has been unforgettable experience and I've learnt so much! Thank you all for the amazing memories!

Such a lovely place to connect with nature and yourself. Jess, Daniel and Athil da fantastic job of running a fun and inclusive environment for volunteers. The work is fair and flexible and gives you plenty of spare time to explore the Blue Mountains. I have loved staying here and I will definitely be returning soon.
