This was a great opportunity to connect with nature, learn new skills, and make new friends :) the Center is a truly beautiful place filled with kind-hearted people. The desert invites you to be deeply present and to appreciate life in all its shapes and forms. Seeing the Milky Way from my bedroom window each night was an experience I won't soon forget. ❤️

I loved my time at the Center. All the volunteers and workers were welcoming with open arms. During this trip I was able to learn about Buddhism and the teachings. The housing was very nice and the chefs were amazing! I would recommend this experience to someone who is looking to further know themselves and meet wonderful people to help along the way.
