My experience at the community was positive. I was able to discover and experience a different, healthy, and joyful way of life. The place is incredible, nestled in Tuscany. The tasks were simple and were carried out by two people, and work schedules were respected. The treatment was extremely respectful and friendly. The food, although vegetarian, was delicious and varied. The place is a 30-minute bus ride from Florence. I highly recommend this experience. I stayed there for two weeks and it was great. I hope to return sometime soon.

The community was quite an experience. Although it's different from my usual reality, it was very easy to adapt. Everyone is very friendly, attentive, and kind. I was able to connect with nature and with myself. It was beautiful to take part in the ceremonies and to help with Food for Life. A truly enriching experience.

It was another great volunteer experience. We're welcome at the temple ceremonies. I've been a few times and enjoyed participating and learning more about Hare Krishna. It's a place to truly connect with nature. It's in the mountains, with beautiful views, silence, and animals. I volunteered at the restaurant, everyone was welcoming, and you work as a team. It was great. I definitely recommend it and want to go back someday.

This was my first volunteer experience, and I'm so glad it happened here. I was greeted, shown, and told everything! Everyone was very welcoming and always willing to help when needed! These two weeks were very eventful and interesting! There were a lot of lectures for volunteers, for example, and I enjoyed listening to them and learning more about this place and, in particular, about spirituality! I'm very grateful to everyone who was there during this period!
