My time at the Center was transformative. I was looking for a place that was a break from city travel and a chance to enjoy nature which is what I found here. There was plenty of free time and food to make snacks. I made some amazing friends while volunteering here and discovered more about myself through this experience.

I really enjoyed my almost 4-week long stay at the Center. It is a great place to relax, be in nature and beautiful surroundings all day and connect with other volunteers. The tasks at the house are very straight forward and take up little time so you get lots of free time to explore the surroundings, go on hikes or read. Jay and Silvia take great initiative to offer optional activities like yoga classes, dance classes, games and activities. I enjoyed my volunteering experience and can recommend to everyone who is looking for a chill and relaxing experience in nature.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers, and I went in without any expectations. Luckily, this place gave me so many memories, laughter, and peace. The nature around is beautiful—perfect for hikes—and seeing the stars so clearly every night was truly amazing. I'm grateful that I got to experience off-grid living with such great people!

The Center invites quietness and self-reflection. Silvia & Jay host yoga, dance and boxing classes; I tried Kundalini yoga for the first time & it was best session I've ever had! We cook and share meals together, the work is simple & we have plenty of free time. You can hike, swim, chat, paint or simply relax in the hammocks. Tbh I struggled with the slower rhythm, it reminded me life doesn't always need to be a challenge, I rediscover the beauty of being present, in ease and enjoying time for myself. I trully recommend this place to anyone seeking for connection, nature and peace.

Staying at the Center was an unforgettable experience. The place itself is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by stunning nature that allows you to truly slow down, reconnect with yourself, and feel part of something bigger. What made it even more special were the wonderful, loving people I had the chance to meet and share time with. There's a beautiful energy here that combines peace, authenticity, and community. If you are looking for a place to connect with nature, with others, and with your own inner self, this is the perfect spot. I will always carry this experience in my heart.

This place holds magic and peace. Silvia and Jay are both welcoming,kind and warm. They organize yoga,boxing and dance classes and have many ideas and projects around the place. The tasks are easy and volunteers have a lot of free time. Anyone can make its own impact on the house. Another amazing thing was being surrounded by people from all over the world and make true connections. It definitely felt like home

The Center is a wonderful place where time flows differently. Jay and Silvia were always very helpful and welcoming. I loved the connection with nature, with the other volunteers, and the activities offered by the hosts, such as yoga, boxing and dancing classes. Being in a remote area can give you the feeling of being a little isolated but for me it was a positive aspect, as it helped me to get even more immersed in nature and interact with the other volunteers. The tasks were generally easy and flexible. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations and I would definitely go back!

It was such a great place to be to get away. If you're looking for a quiet, almost retreat, this is the place. Jay and Silvia were great. Not just standing back but wanting and willing to be part of the activities, the group dynamic and the even the chores around the house. Thanks to this experience, I have made some truest amazing friends!

I had so much fun in 'the Center', here you have the chance to meet people all over the world and to build strong connections, which is the greatest thing of this place. We attended a couple of yoga lessons by Silvia, and a few boxing and dance ones by Jay. I really enjoyed them. I put 5 stars because i feel like this place has so much potential but i must say there are a few things that could have been organised better. The house is really old, too old, not sure if this is in a good sense. I was expecting to volounteer in an ecofarm but we did almost nothing related to that:(
