The Experience

Welcome to the Conscious Castle! We are a small, but vibrant community located just outside the quaint village of Verlaine. Our chief value is consciousness— This ranges from being mindful of small actions and how they impact the community, to how our mindset impacts our moment-to-moment life. When you join this tribe, you are not here just to work, but to immerse yourself in a rich cultural exchange and become a vital part of daily life here.

This is a very special place. Joyce and Danny are wonderful hosts who always strive to prioritize mindful practices and create an open and healthy space where you are free to express your feelings and know that you will be listened to. The hours are flexible, the location is gorgeous, and the activities and outings were always lots of fun (and a great opportunity to connect). The emphasis on the cultural exchange aspect of this experience was wonderful, and I was lucky to meet such amazing people and try great food from all around the world. This was a transformative experience.
Aho.

I had a blast at the Center! Joyce and Danny are warm and welcoming people who give you the freedom to work independently and let your creativity flow in the social media position. I also really enjoyed the occasional day trips to other cities. They're putting a lot of effort into building a strong community here and I am greatful for the experience.

Joyce and Danny are really kind and generous. I feel grateful to had the chance to stay there. The working hours are very flexible. The nature surrounding the Center is absolutely beautiful, and the area around is very nice. You can go for long walks around the Center. You also get the chance to meet many other international volunteers. I really recommand that place !

My experience at The Conscious Castle felt much more personal than I expected. I had the chance to contribute with my skills, work with a lot of freedom, share meals and everyday moments with the team, and meet people from different countries. I really appreciated the trust, the relaxed way of working, and the feeling of community. It was a beautiful place to slow down, create, and connect with others. Thank you, Joyce and Danny, for welcoming me and making me feel so comfortable during my stay 💖✨
