A wonderful place! I enjoyed every single bit of working as a volunteer. The overall involvement of my time in the Center was excellent and I would recommend the place to anyone who wants to live and experience Northern Germany properly. One of the most enjoyable things was not surprisingly the people- TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS. It seemed that no matter what the goal was for the day or how much the language barrier interferred, everyone was willing to help one another and put in work when it was needed. I'll never forget the adventue, and I'm very grateful to the staff who helped us during our stay!

Volunteering at the Center was the perfect combination of work and relaxing in the peaceful forest. During my stay, I did housekeeping, kitchen help and preparing the bonfire. The work schedule was structured and the work hours were respected. When not working, I attended the yoga classes offered to the guests. Another free-time activity was using the available bikes to cycle to nearby towns. A bonus for me was the German class offered on Saturdays, and the teacher was very kind and patient. Vielen Dank to all the Center staff and other volunteers for this special experience :-)

If you are searching for a place to create deep connection with people, but also spend some time alone with yourself in a secluded space, I think the Center is perfect! The stuff is super friendly and the chefs will make sure that you're always stuffed with food! The work is well structured and it changes each week, so it is likely that you will have different tasks. There's the possibility to attend the Center meditation classes and each week you're going to attend a German lecture. If you want to visit the surrounding you are provided with bikes :)

The best experience with volunteering I had so far! The workers are very kind and inclusive, making you feel at home right away. The volunteers I met here were super nice and friendly. The German teacher was also very fun to talk with! Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it!!!

This was my first worldpackers experience, and I had a magical time. What made this time so special was the amazing friendships I made with my 6 fellow volunteers. The staff at the Center made our stay equally as amazing, by planning parties for us, taking us on a special dinner excursions. The other volunteers and I planned movie nights, game nights, and talked late into the evening. The accommodations were comfortable and the food was awesome (especially breakfast)!! The work is clearly structured. There are 3 shifts: 6am-12:30pm, 8am-2pm, 3pm-9pm. I'm forever grateful for my time here

The highlight of my time at the Center was the other volunteers I met and worked with. It truly is a community that you become part of, in which the people are kind, supportive and encouraging. The growth that I experienced here is something that I will be grateful for for a long time. I worked as a kitchen hand and server, I cooked, baked and practised my german. There is some room for improvement, which I have communicated with the host, which will help to keep all volunteers safe and well there.

I had a great experience in the Center ! The place is really beautiful and the room for the workys is very pretty and comfortable ! Food was also good, a little repetitive sometimes but very tasty. About the tasks, they were a little exhausting sometimes (especially Housekeeping and Gardening). Negative points : sometimes you were alone doing the work, which increased the difficulty and the responsibility of it, and also I had the impression that only girls were doing all the cleaning work :/ (guys can also clean remember! ). Despite that, I had an amazing time with the others workys ! :))

My time at the Center didn't go as expected, but was still an enjoyable experience due to friendly staff and other wonderful volunteers. However, the expected role that I was to carry out didn't align with the tasks I actually had to complete. I signed up to be a bartender, but upon arrival, I soon learned “ the challenge of the Center,” is to undertake different roles. These include kitchen, hand, service, housekeeping, Gardening. I wasn't happy about the lack of transparency regarding the roles, especially since this was something I'd communicated with them from the start. So, Just a heads up.

C’est presque drôle encore, si ce n’était si triste... nous vous avons informé par écrit à l’avance des différentes tâches, nous avons même organisé une vidéoconférence avec vous, où nous avons une fois de plus expliqué exactement quelles tâches existent dans Sagasfeld Waiting for you, nous avons prévenu à l’avance que vous devez parler un peu allemand pour le travail au service dans le restaurant, cela n’a servi à rien et juste parce que vous ne nous avez pas bien écoutés, vous nous donnez 3 étoiles... on n’arrive pas à le croire :-) C’est ce que c’est, vous avez quand même fait du bon travail, même si c’était complètement différent de ce à quoi vous vous attendiez avant... mais vous savez quoi ? C’est exactement pour cela que servent les stages et les voyages dans des pays étrangers :-) Olaf

The 6 hours work a day was strangely draining and I'm used to 12+. If you are coming for yoga/ the Center I wouldn't recommend. I learnt about some the Center from Dr Paul but due to our meal times and eating leftovers for lunch it's impossible to follow an Ayurvedic diet. My first room was amazing and everything was so clean. It is in a very remote area, this can be nice to be out of big cities. Andreas H, Sarah, Dr Paul and Lea (yoga teacher) were all very lovely and spent time with us volunteers. These people and the volunteers are what made it so great, there was a great sense of community.

Il est très important que les bénévoles n'aient pas de fausses attentes avant leur arrivée. Pour cette raison, je voudrais souligner et répéter la déclaration de Mia sur le sujet de la nourriture. En fait, il n'y a pas de nourriture ayurvédique pour les employés tous les jours. Il y a le petit-déjeuner, le déjeuner et le dîner gratuits, ainsi que des boissons non alcoolisées. Et il est vrai qu'à l'heure du déjeuner il peut y avoir « seulement » une salade ou une soupe. L'après-midi, il y a aussi des fruits, du gâteau et des biscuits. La restauration est bonne, mais s'il vous plaît n'attendez pas que nous préparions des régimes ayurvédiques spéciaux pour vous ou des repas à la carte. Un hôte n'est pas Hotel Mama et nous sommes avec Workaway et non Holidayaway. Cela est parfois oublié par les bénévoles :-)

If you are looking for a peaceful nature place and improve your German come her! They offer you an amazing share room, bonfires, yoga classes, an art room where you can paint, play instruments... space for you and very good food with the quantity you want. However, they don't know what is permaculture and don't offer holistic therapies. The shifts are ok, tired, but good. I learn and enjoy in the kitchen and, in my case, I loved work in the garden. Arrived there is a little bit complicated, you are in the deep Germany but the people around are very eco and alternative. Thank u the Center!

Bien que nous proposions plus de 80 thérapies différentes dans les domaines du bien-être, de la médecine traditionnelle chinoise et de l'Ayurveda, vous avez raison, nous n'offrons aucune formation pour nos stagiaires qui ne restent là que quatre semaines. Et bien que notre grand jardin et la spirale d'herbes aient été conçus par un paysagiste selon les principes de permaculture et que nous ayons aussi un petit jardin potager, vous avez aussi raison de dire que nous n'offrons aucune formation supplémentaire sur ce sujet, à part vous montrer comment désherber, cultiver le sol et expliquer quand a lieu la récolte des pommes de terre ;-) Bien sûr nous proposons aussi des formations, par exemple dans le domaine de l'Ayurveda, mais pas dans le cadre d'un stage de quatre semaines. Cependant, chaque stagiaire reçoit toutes les tâches et les conditions générales avant d'arriver et avant que nous ne fixions même un rendez-vous. Dans le cadre de cette communication, nombreuses questions peuvent être posées, par exemple sur des choses qui sont importantes pour vous. Malheureusement, vous ne l'avez pas fait. Pour ne pas créer davantage de confusion, j'ai maintenant supprimé ces icônes. Je ne veux pas créer des attentes que nous ne pouvons pas et ne voulons pas satisfaire. Pas que l'un des stagiaires se plaigne que nos cours de yoga sont donnés en allemand ou que la zone du sauna ne puisse être utilisée qu'à des moments sélectionnés ;-)
