The Experience

This opportunity gives you a perfect view behind the scenery of an Ayurveda and Yoga Retreat. Our yoga and ayurveda retreat is housed in a hotel village. Every day we repair, renovate and finish building things. In addition, we fell trees and chop wood. If you are handy, then you are more than welcome to help us. We plan with 5 days a week and 6 hours per day.

This was my very first Worldpackers experience and I ended up being very satisfied. During the time I spent there, I felt as if I was isolated from the whole world and enjoyed the time. The food is delicious (potato lovers will especially like it). It is definitely worth making your needs known, sometimes the workload can be a bit exhausting but regardless there is free time to enjoy the place and make connections with people from different cultures. Thanks to everyone with whom we had beautiful moments.

A great space for experiencing beautiful community life! Many volunteers at once which allow you to connect with a lot of interesting people:) You have to be ready for 6 am shifts that can be a bit challenging but on the bright side you're done with your work by 12 and have the rest of the day for yourself:) I enjoyed yoga&meditation classes and weekly bonfires. Amazing nature around and cozy little town that you can visit by a bike. Also very comfortable accomodation. I'm thankful for this opportunity and the warmth of people i met there:)

I appreciate the clean spacious room, free the Center meditation lessons, healthy three meals per day and rental bicycles. It's written as a "shared room", but you are actually sharing a house, and you have your enough space for you to hang your clothes and using the tables plus the kitchen together with other volunteers. The room is bigger than what you normally expect from the usual dormitories in a hostel. You can take a nice walk to the forests and also go to towns like Hitzacher and Dannenberg. I met many wonderful people here in Sagasfield, and I appreciate all the memories here. Danke!

It was a great experience, I learned and improved my level of English thanks to all the classmates who were there. the Center wouldn't be the same without them. The schedule is hard, sometimes you have to get up at 6 in the morning and work, it depends on the tasks you have, but I connected with myself and enjoyed the experience.
