My volunteering experience at the community was like balm for the soul, and exactly what I needed! A beautiful place and scenery, a tight-knit sense of community, with kindhearted, openminded and sincere people dedicated to building and nourishing a loving relationship with themselves, with the people around them and with nature and soil. I felt warmly welcomed, enjoyed the direct and transparent communication before and during my stay, and also felt energized by contributing to the community as well as by the communal and spiritual activities that are there with no pressure to take part.

I had a fantastic experience at the community. It was my first time volunteering and could not have asked for a better place to start this journey. Everyone was very welcoming and they helped me integrate into the community very fast. Everyone is very kind and helpful, always there to give you hand if needed. This is a very open minded community, you can express yourself freely, no judgement at all. The facilities are like in a campsite but very well done and maintained. Everyone has their own job and responsibility but comes together at the end of the day. Made friends for life.

The community place is magical! It was my first worldpackers experience and it was amazing. All the community is super lovely, caring and respectful. The work is hard, specially during events, but the environment is super nice and joyful, so it's totally worth it. Plus you get to have an amazing spiritual experience that makes you grow and learn a lot. I'm deeply grateful! Thank you for everything.
