This was my first experience as a volunteer with worldpackers. I am super happy that this amazing first experience was here. the Center Retraite Centrum is a beautiful place with wonderful views and areas to spend time to connect with yourself. I had very deep and significant moments with different activities and great people; highly recommended. I would like to thank especially Dieter for his generous heart, and empathy with everyone and his passion in this project. Spending time with the international volunteers was really enriching, Chef: Kristin, her experience and delicious flavors.

I'm profoundly grateful for my time spent at the Center. It was an extraordinary experience! The place is beautiful and super comfortable but the opportunity to share with the marvelous people that coincided with while the 8 weeks I spent there was the real gift! I enjoyed every task given weather it was cooking with Kristine, Sarah or Charlotte; making the beds with Lhamo, or washing the dishes of 30 (very satisfied)people with another volunteer, it was always fun and easy. Dieter is a caring leader, always making sure everybody is ok, all them are in my heart now forever! Thank you <3

Apart from the lovely staff and ambiance, this experience allowed me to sharply increase my cooking skills while giving me the unique opportunity to converse with people from all over the world. The working schedule is balanced; your weeks are split, typically with 3-5 days of free time in between group sessions, so you'll be able to explore different cities, practice new skills, or just take some downtime on the grounds playing with the cats and meditating. To sum up, I absolutely recommend the Center. Also, if you sign up quickly, I left some truffle honey in the kitchen ;)

The Center is an awesome place filled with positive energy and surrounded by nature, I met great people there. The host, Dieter was very kind and friendly making sure we were all having a good time, I also got along well with the other volunteer, in our spare time, we visited other cities. The tasks were simple and there was always room to be creative and develop some new skills. I definitely recommend this experience if you are looking for some peace of mind, to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

The Center is a beautiful place surrounded by nature. The sound of the birds is incredible. I was very well received by everyone, the tasks are simple - they just demand care, and there's enough free time to visit other cities, if you want it. Monique is a lovely woman and you can see her beautiful soul in every detail of the place.

This was my first volunteering experience, which brought me much more than I could ever have expected. It feels magical, as you slowly get emersed in the daily tasks, create deep connections with your colleagues and share each others experiences in the most welcoming and family-like environment one could possibly hope for. Despite your current situation or who you are, here you can feel free to search and discover or improve, whatever your cureent goals are. The team is very communicative and helpful, always making sure that everyone is feeling okay. Much Love!! :)

Fran, Patri, and Dieter made me feel welcome the moment I came. The surrounding nature, with birds, bunnies and tons of trees was a perfect setting to do some soul searching. I made incredible connections with the people volunteering there and those that work there. The work isn't hard, but it's important to do it with a smile and care. Thank you so much for creating an environment where I can be myself and have time to do interwork on my next phase of life.

Coming here was the best decision I've ever made. the Center is the perfect place for everyone looking for a calm atmosphere full of positive energy for personal growth and family-like volunteering. The moment you arrive you will feel like you've come back home after a long flight, yes, for real! It instantly feels like home! The people around it, the gardens, the castle, the food, and literally everything make this place truly incredible! Thank you, Dieter, Monique, Fran and all the other volunteers and staff! I am deeply thankful for everything and I am definitely coming back :)

It is impossible to describe the experience I've had there in just 600 characters. It was absolutely amazing to be part of the Center. This is the perfect place if you're looking for: -a place that feels like home -personal growth -a big family to share your life This is more than just tasks and shifts, this is a place that it's going to teach you a lot about yourself. This is what the word 'volunteer' really means. Thank you for all the love! I'm already missing everyone. Los quiero mucho!!!
