It was a really enjoyable experience volunteering at the Center! I got to da diverse range of tasks and everyone I met are very nice and always open to talk. I've endless to share about the new experiences I made here but I'd miss chatting with locals, walking around nature and cooking together the most!

We were lucky to have Tippi come and share herself with us. She showed up in the middle of the crazy folkmusicfestival with people everywhere and jumped right in to support us in all the commotion. She was active and fun and ready to live, explore, learn and experience the world around her. We were touched by her ability to connect with the elders and welcome her back to visit anytime she misses us and needs a break from her studies. Thank you Tippi!

The Center community was such a great experience! Kels was lovely and share with me always the best energy. Also, I was grateful for the clarity with the tasks and schedule. In my case I worked on the garden, was such a great experience, also therapeutic putting your hands on the soil. They have all the tools for you to work properly and with joy. I miss the raining boots now hahaha PD: Monday activities are the best to bond and discover the team. Thaaaaaank yoooooou!

Gabriela is a dream volunteer :) Bursting with life and positivity she will raise anyones spirits. She did fantastic work in the garden, evidence of her creative talents that reflect care and diligence in her tasks whatever she did. We are looking forward to seeing her back here with us whenever she has some time to jump back into our family life here and all the connections she made. Thanks Gabi !

If you want to be surrounded by warm beings and see the world with kinder and more attentive eyes, this is the place to go. Nowhere else you can find the same familiarity and peace along both the people and nature.

Cristina visited us with her friend Hugo. She is warm, capable and ready for anything. She has been a great help with a big heart and and really appreciated the soft beauty here. Very mature adventurous friends who easily completed tasks and took care of their space.

I first want to thank all the people I met in Stjärnsund that permit me to get more and more involved in the Center. I am especially grateful to Kelsey, Eva and Stefan that were always available and here to communicate on the work. They care about you and how you are feeling and will be understanding. The hours are really flexible, we could create our own schedule, except if some tasks had the be made in priority. The work was not too demanding and the instructions were clear. Volunteers could help in the kitchen in order to get some free food. I could try yoga, explore the lakes and forests.

Anthony was a pleasure to host. He worked excellent with everyone especially with the other volonteer. He is a great person to have around and had no problem jumping into the tasks and taking care. We miss him and hope to welcome him back someday!! Thank you for your visit :)

As a new WP member, I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! Kelsey & Stephan have been amazing and extremely welcoming from the moment we met; as well as everyone else in the community. As for the work itself, tasks are varied & clearly communicated & the 4-hours daily workload can be quite flexible. During my time off, I had the chance to enjoy yoga, walks on the lake, connect with the beautiful nature, meet locals, enjoy live music as well as my first ever Midsommar. This has truly been an amazing experience and I would highly recommend to fellow WPs. Tack igen för allt :)

Giusy has been an incredible help to us during our high season. Thanks to her we were able to offer a higher standard to all our guests with her care and attention to details. She is a pleasure to work with, caring, compassionate and understanding. She is very aware and responsible and makes friends with everyone. We are so grateful to have been the ones to receive her and wish her so much love on the next steps in her life and journey! She is always welcome back. Lots of love from us all

This was one of the best volunteering experience that I ever had. It was the perfect opportunity to explore the Swedish countryside. The nature around is amazing with its forests, lakes, islands and what not, there's so much to explore. The work was usually outside, mostly physical - so challenging but manageable. I got to learn a lot about forest gardening and got to try new skills like wood chopping, grass cutting etc. Kelsey and the whole village is very kind, generous and welcoming that it felt like home. It's definitely a place that I would love to go back to:)

I've spend the last two weeks in this place and let me tell you,it was truly amazing. From the people to the work we did, I could not imagine a better first experience. Kelsey, who is responsible for volunteers was so kind and really appreciated everything we did. Plus her yoga sessions were Medizin for my body, after it I could feel the gratefulness vibrating in my body. Everyone i met there was so open and kind, i felt welcomed and safe. This experience will nurture your inner child and from jumping in the lake to running and dancing with other wounderful volunteers you will have it all <3

Chantel is literally a ray of sunshine... her smile and laugh is heartwarming and she is an absolute pleasure to be around. We enjoyed her stay so much, she showed up exactly when we needed her and helped feed the team of volunteers when our cook had to leave early. She immediately fit in with the volunteer group we had going and shared her creativity whenever there was the chance. We are looking forward to welcoming her back!

My experience in the Center absolutely exceeded my expectations. Me and my friend stayed for month and enjoyed every second of it. Everyone welcomed us with open arms/hearts and saying goodbye wasn't easy at all. We worked as dream team of 5 volunteers in garden for 4,5h per day (weekends off) and helped around the house with anything was needed. Cutting wood/grass, gardening, cleaning property and much more. We got a chance to join yoga classes, do many trips around the area and have fun during and outside of working hours. I 100% recommend this experience, thank you for everything <3

Iva is incredibly great at communicating. Responsible and capable of taking care of many. She is aware and super helpful. A person from the heart with a great attitude. Having Iva and her friend Voyta has been one of the best volunteer experiences we have had :) Now its just hard living without them :) Wish you all the best!!! Look forward to meeting again as your journey continues!

It was a really nice experience. As a retreat, I can only recommend this place. the community is amazing, everyone is nice, and they care for each other and for you. the work can be hard sometimes (outside work, be prepared), but you can easily make it fun with music and other volunteers! they also care for your well being so you only do what you can do without hurting yourself. the nature around is pretty amazing as well. you will not regret!

Karine brings a warmth and care that we felt immediately and was the welcome of the rest of the volunteers for our May team. It turned out to be the best volunteer group we have had because of their incredible attitude, working together and nourishing each other, being capable and independent and really going above and beyond in the tasks. Thinking ahead and cleaning up after themselves. After the first task i gave Karine i knew i could easily trust and rely on her to take care and do a great job. She made a huge difference with her time here and her energy given has been a real gift to us!

The best 2 weeks I've ever had. The place is magical and the people there are just great. Everyone welcomed me straight away and made me feel like at home. I worked independently and could decide individually when I wanted to start. It was all very organised and had enough time for myself. I would recommend everyone to go there!!
