My days at the project were an absolute gift. I had a wonderful time with everyone and learned a lot about the project and about myself. Rob is an amazing host, always willing to help, listen, and make my stay at the center feel so warm. It felt like home! I definitely recommend volunteering with them :) I'm so thankful for getting to know you and for the opportunity to learn with you!

My experience was great. I always wanted to know more about buddhism and the project and I think this was a good start of my journey. I managed to get like 5 the project classes during my 2 weeks stay and learned a lot with Rob and the other teachers. Rob as a host is the best. He' super on it, stays in the project almost 24/7 if u need anything, he's super flexible and the sweetest. The accomodation was good aswell very chill. The work was very easy to learn and the hours are as the description says. If you're ever tired or dont feel well, talk to Rob, he'll understand.

My volunteering experience was simply wonderful. From the very first moment, I felt at home surrounded by kind, warm-hearted people and a beautiful sense of mutual care. The atmosphere was peaceful, the work easy and enjoyable, always filled with smiles and support. The accommodation was cozy and comfortable, a true little haven where I could rest and feel cared for. the project classes were definitely one of the most beautiful gifts of this journey —they helped me reconnect with myself, slow down, and see life with softer eyes. I give it 1000/10, with a heart full of gratitude. 💛✨

Eternally grateful for this thoughtful and peaceful place! My favorite thing was the freedom and space to engage as you are, so long as it is respectful. Helpful things to know: - there are long term residents (from all around the world) that you share communal space with - main station is just a few minute walk away - not very structured but there is still great direction and instruction - no killing bugs and you must eat vegetarian while on grounds - you are independent for meals, activities, etc, unless you organize otherwise (plenty of people are open to engaging and sharing)
