Help a Meditation Center to cook vegi meals

Spain

My experience with this volunteer program was very positive. The hosts were very friendly and were always willing to help with anything we needed. The place where we stayed was very clean and comfortable, which made our stay much more enjoyable. However, one thing to keep in mind is that the site is far from the village, about a 30-minute walk and the availability of bus to other places is limited, so if you plan to move around without a car, you should consider this factor. Despite this, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend it.

The hosts were really nice and welcoming, making our stay very comfortable. The tasks weren't difficult, and the schedule was quite flexible, which was great. One thing to note—not really an inconvenience, but good to know—is that they are vegetarian. The location is a bit far from town, about a 15–30 minute walk (though there are bikes available). The town itself is small with not much to do; the easiest place to visit is Cecina, but you'll need to take a bus. Despite that, we really enjoyed volunteering with Samarona and Dhara—they also have lots of great stories. Thanks!

Dhara and Samarona were great hosts. Everything was as described. Hours, work and meals. The place is nice and full of nature all around it. Sometimes Dhara led the Center meditations and that was really nice to experience. Samarona has great stories to tell when we sat down for our meals all together. I really enjoyed spending time with them and learning about their life experiences. Thank you for everything! I hope to come back someday! ✨❤️

My stay at the Center was very pleasant. I had the opportunity to share and learn from local people, practice English, be surrounded by beautiful nature in a quiet and harmonious space. Dhara and Samorana are wonderful people with a spirit of dedication and devotion to the center. I really admire the work they do and the effort they make to ensure that everything goes very well. Thanks for me part of my dream. Ana

I felt welcomed by both of the hosts. The instructions were clear and there was a lot of variety. Dhara is a kind, gentle methodical lady who is usually very patient. Dhara is mainly responsible for the cleanliness, and Samarona is responsible for the breakfast and the kitchen area in general.The place itself is a dream, and really helps you to connect with nature. The volunteers were an exceptional crowd of individuals, and we all really worked well as a team. The mosquitos were a problem and I would recommend everybody to come equipped.I learned a lot from the owners and the volunteers.❤️

Geraldine was a great help in whatever task she did and we had interesting conversations with her. She fitted very well with all the other volunteers. Wish you all the best in the future.

Not enough space to write the review I'd like to, reach out for the full review! Short version: Loved my experience. Beautiful property, amazing volunteers, and an opportunity to slow down and connect with nature and spirituality, in different ways than expected. Dhara: warm, welcoming, joyful - the heart of the Center. High cleaning standards, be ready to work in detail - she's unafraid to watch you work and make corrections. Samarona: in his own words “never understood manners, or politeness”. Don't take anything personally. He can be very funny, and has many good stories to tell.

This was my first experience volunteering and I am so glad I found this place. Dhara and Samarona are amazing hosts, I loved listening to their stories and spending time with them. They're very smart and have lots of experience, you can learn so much at this place and get new perspectives. I am missing them a lot☹️ The work was never too hard! Spending time there was so peaceful, you can connect with nature and see some badgers and hares. I met the best people ever and I wish I could go back there right now. Sorry for eating so much cheese and thank you for this experience!🧀

Sam and Dhara are beautiful and very interesting people. I loved spending time with them and learning from their experiences and our conversations. Dhara guided us in the Center meditations that I was not familiar with, and the experience was impressive. Sam told me a lot about his experiences and taught me about the Center. Both are authentic and respectful people; I had no issues with them. I believe it's all about open and assertive communication, not about assuming and supposing. The place is lovely and perfect for connecting with nature. You can bike to several beaches and enjoy Bibona!
