This place that Pri takes care is not common, from these paisible night at these working days with the horses. It's the first time from a long time ago I didn't reconnect with the nature and the feeling of energies. I was not sure of what expecting before coming here, execept the learning with the animals. And I learned much more than that, thanks to Pri and her impressive life and personality (<3). She was also like an amazing great mother cooking really good meals and breads (I highly recommand!!) I'm also glad to discover this community, focused on care and spirituality I recommand a lot!!

Hola Lore, Thank you so much for your comments! They show me how gratifying this experience can be for both, volunteer and host! I think each person can add a little more in things that seem small and not so important, and you certainly did that! Your suggestions were of great value and some already in use prove that. I hope that your experience here will be of great value for your life, and maybe, who knows, we meet again!! Have a safe trip back home and keep in touch! Love Pri

It was my first volunteering experience, a truly valuable one. Priscila opened the doors to her home for me, she patiently taught me how to work with the ponies on the farm, in their feeding and the farm's cleaning, the best part of volunteering; the house rules were clear. Priscila cooks delicious meals, she shared several recipes from the farm and some we prepared together. I was part of her environment, she always treated me with respect and I felt like one more of her friends. Priscila gives riding lessons to all the volunteers. I recommend you go to this place, it is very safe, a peaceful place.
