About the experience in: Extrema, Brazil
Germany
This experience in the center is almost indescribable for me in stars or words. I was surrounded by breathtaking scenery as well as by many incredibly loving people, and I felt very welcome from the first moment to the sad farewell. I gained deep insights into their culture and life high up on the mountain. I liked the varied tasks, enjoyed the delicious vegetarian food, loved nature, the animals, the calm, but also the exchange with other volunteers, guests and the hosts. I am very grateful for this precious time in my life!!!

Thank you Gabi for your beautiful words about us and the place; it seems we missed the deadline to complete your evaluation...sorry!!
To us you didn't seem like a volunteer but part of the family. Your stay with us was wonderful and we learned a lot from you, with your kindness to everyone, willingness to help, commitment, experiences, laughter...in short, we already miss you here!!

The center is a wonderful place of peace and tranquility. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the entire staff of the venue, Manuela and Luciane, who welcomed me and treated me very well, as well as the other volunteers who were present, Karen and Tiago, and the Andrés (guests) there. I recommend the experience to everyone seeking contact with nature and a (re)connection with their spirituality.

Não possuo palavras para explicar o que é voluntariar no centro... É um misto de conexão com a natureza, autoconhecimento e conexão com o divino. Um lugar para você chamar de lar e se conectar com o mais profundo do ser. Aqui é um espaço de paz e harmonia, um templo de silêncio para quem deseja ouvir o que está dentro e ter as melhores experiências com o SEU SER. o centro é mágico, um pedaço do paraíso na Terra. Sou grato à Manu, Lu e Karen por terem me aceitado nesse lugar (e agora vão ter que me aturar muuuito, pois não tenho data para ir embora rs). Amo vocês 💙

O the Center é um sítio lindo, com uma vista maravilhosa e pessoas mais maravilhosas ainda! Fui muitíssimo bem recebido pela Karen, Clara, Lu e Manu. As quatro são pessoas incríveis e de uma vibe muito boa! Trocamos muitas ideias e pude aprender muito!!! Um pouco com cada uma. Foi minha primeira experiência de voluntariado e sem dúvidas o universo acertou em cheio na escolha. Foram dias muito especiais que vivi por aqui e que levarei pra sempre em coração! Obrigado the Center!
