We offer a variety of opportunities for you: From gardening and harvesting to help us becoming more visible in the world, like writing to magazines, making videos, helping us with our website... But also some manual-work like carpentry, or building a sustainable garden-house during summer. It won`t become boring. Our farmhouse from 1840 is a very luxurious place but still very rural. You will have a great place to sleep.
We are close to Munich (40 min.), to Augsburg (35 min.), to a beautiful, huge lake (15 min). There`s a lot to discover in the surroundings for you in your free time.
We also want to create some great get-together-happenings where people and also volunteers make little introductions or workshops where they perform or teach their special talents. We want to bring the village together. What is your special talent? It can be all from hulahoop-performance, singing, wood-carving, doing macramee or weaving, doing fireshows, best vegan-baking, belly-dance...
Unfortunately only people can be invited who did NOT get a covid-vaccination.
Feel free to ask us any questions. We are happy to hear from you.
Its very familiar. You can choose what your abilities and interests are, it has to be fun for all of us. I dont mind if you sleep super long or get up super early. We can arrange everything so that it fits best for all of us.

The house is beautiful and there are a lot of fields around that are great for long walks.
There were issues with communication between Kesari & me. I was there to work on social media and in our video call prior, we had agreed on the tasks. However, when I was there, she wanted me to do other gardening & cleaning tasks. When I cleaned up after myself & it wasn't done in front of her, she doesn't believe that it's done which was challenging. Her massive fear of radiation was also challenging as she went into our things and room to scan for radiation which felt like an invasion of privacy.

Kesari is a nice person, very committed to her work and to her home. She was very patient as my English is not the best; although workwise it didn't flow as I expected, the coexistence was good and the food is delicious, it was a good experience.

I've had a wonderful time at Kesari Meditation Center
There was a long time, that gave me the opportunity to experience several things and meet many people, like other volunteers and Kesari's friends.
I've learned a lot of permaculture and gardening, and some deliciuos vegan recepies also.
The area is very beautiful and calm, and the people ist very friendly even with who doesn't speak German.
Kesari become a friend, and I plan to come back to pay a visit!

Kesari is very welcoming and kind. Her house is gorgeous but there are a lot of things that you will need to be mindful of as a guest. When volunteering with her, you will most likely be assisting with what she needs help with (cooking, cleaning etc) on top of what you have agreed on.

Thanks for your feedback Katriona, happy you pointed this out. It`s indeed that I expect my volunteers to clean their personal space themselves and should the need arise give a hand for cooking or other tasks at times. I believe during your three weeks stay this happened once for preparing the guestrooms and once or twice for cooking.

My first World Packer experience was quite memorable. I enjoyed my stay and had a good time with fellow volunteer Anne. However, Kesari and I had different communication styles, which often led to misunderstandings and left me feeling frustrated. Prior to my arrival in Germany, I was informed that a significant portion of my time would be dedicated to social media. Still, most of the trip revolved around gardening and housework. This discrepancy was disappointing, and it raised questions about Kesari's cultural awareness, as there were instances where I felt it was lacking.

Dear Salena, when you came her I needed help with social media very, very urgently. I was very happy that you applied for this. It was disappointing for me that I had to decide to give you other easy jobs in the garden or house and not what you came for. But this was because you had very unique ideas how you want to work: You didn`t want to share your social-media-posts with me, you didnt want to show it to me or discuss it with me, you very not open to my ideas and needs. Besides that you told me that you don`t want to work 5 hours a day. You would prefer to have a lazy holiday time, and then at the end, the last days, work really, really hard and present me your finished social-media posts. But that`s the opposite of team-work in my eyes. I appreciate to have exchange with my volunteers and to have a good and creative time together.
