The Experience

Hi :) I’m Johannes, 35, an osteopath creating a place for healing, connection & transformation on my family’s old farm in rural Germany. Volunteers help with clearing, gardening, planting & renovating—no experience needed, just motivation. We work ~4h/day, starting around noon. Food & accommodation are provided. Enjoy nature, bikes, meditation & relaxed evenings. Alcohol-free space. 1–3 volunteers welcome!

My first Worldpackers experience, and I'm happy to say I didn't regret it one bit! Johannes, the owner, made me feel welcome right from day one. There was something about this place that just felt like home. A safe space. Throughout the month, I learned and unlearned so much about myself, knowingly and unknowingly. The work can be challenging at times,but they always gave me the space to pause whenever it felt like too much. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to contribute to building something meaningful while also working on themselves. P.s. Ankum, The place is a bonus
