More About the Experience
We see ourselves as a big family, and many people experience this place as a home away from home. Each week, we create a schedule so you can organize your time with clarity and ease.
We live in a simple and meaningful way, sharing moments, activities, and daily life together. This is a space for connection with nature, presence, and community living.
The food we offer is vegetarian, and the kitchen is always available if you wish to cook something different.
We always do our best to create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can feel at home 🌿
Our bar is a social space of the Centre, so during your 5-hour shift you may help with drink preparation, coffee service, and outdoor cleaning in the bar and nearby common areas. The bar can get busy for short periods, so being comfortable in a dynamic environment is important. If you finish your tasks early, you are free to enjoy your time.
We value respect, punctuality, and a positive, open mindset. Be present, communicate openly, and enjoy the experience we’re creating together 🌿
