The Center is a special place where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and feel more present. Surrounded by forest and sea, it offers a unique space for reflection and meaningful connections. Zita welcomed me as both a wonderful leader and a friend. I'm grateful for the honest, deep conversations, the freedom to be yourself, and the genuine care everyone shows for one another. I left with beautiful memories and would wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

The Center is a place that can change your life. It is a harbour for so many different people to meet, with the common truth of being connected to life and committed to feel more present and more themselves. There is forest and sea, peace and excitement. I can guarantee that this is a space where you can learn so much both on a practical and existential level. I'm deeply and forever grateful for having found this place for it has found me in ways that I have been quietly longing to for ages. It is possible indeed to thrive in a community build upon connection, freedom and curiosity.

That was a great experience! Roderick, Zita and Vittoria are extraordinary people. They treated me like one of them from the very beginning. We had lots of great conversations, tasks were super transparent and pleasant and the fact that you're in the middle of nowhere helps you to reconnect with yourself. Highly recommended!

I came to the Center with the hope of escaping a culture of individualism and avoidance, and I accomplished exactly that. I was immediately impressed by the culture of intentional openness I found here and an authentic desire to deepen community thereby. The people here have truly allowed me to bring my whole self, happy and sad, healed and healing. I cannot express how meaningful this has been to me. The work done here is never about the work; it's about humans building a home and a sanctuary for themselves and others. This is a place I suspect I’ll carry with me for the rest of my days.

The Center is a really nice place! Lots of things to do around! I used the canoe and the electric bike to explore around the nature! There's lots of wild animals around and it's a really peaceful place, they never pressured me into anything and I didn't feel stressed about the work! Really open minded and respectful people to be around, lots of different events (mostly during the summer) and some of the volunteers are also allowed to participate which is really nice and made me able to meet a lot of different people! Thank you for everything! Wish everything good for all of the Center!

I had such a good time at the Center. The people are all very kind, and just felt very respected. The work of very flexible & you can work in a way that works best for you. The place is gorgeous, perfect for being around nature. There's lots of nature to explore, & they also took me into the local town to look around too

I didn't like the 10h shifts for lacking better organization, the room given wasn't private, I didn't their behaviour. The shared spaces like the kitchen and the bathroom were really dirty.
