The holistic therapies began before you arrived, because the jungle is so breathtaking that you just want to BE and nothing else.

I spent about a week at the Center and I am grateful for every second I spent there. It was physically difficult at times during the morning hike and during working hours. You really learn to be one with nature there and to live life slowly and in the present moment. I loved meeting other international travellers that share the same values in terms of spirituality. It was definitely a life changing experience that I would recommend anyone looking to immerse himself in nature. Really important to bring good hiking shoes and warm cloths for the chilly nights. My dm's are open for any questions :).

This experience is magical ! I recommend it for anyone who is into connecting to nature, learning new spirituality, meeting indigenous and they way of living and staying in shape. You'll need good hiking shoes 😉 You'll be living in a volunteer dedicated area next to the family and share meals with them. This volunteering is about engaging your mind, body and heart, 100% but it's all about your own healing and learning. You can only leave this place having evolved and learned something about yourself, the world and nature.

It's impossible to describe the feeling about the volunteering and the whole place in words. I learned a lot and I definetly recommend it to everyone who's open for new teachings and looking for connection, to nature and yourself.

I stayed at the Center for almost three weeks and enjoyed every minute. the Center family was very welcoming, and I felt right at home. The food that was cooked was some of the best food I have ever eaten and all natural. The work could be challenging at times, I mainly moved stones and dug up Earth to help with bio construction. But it was incredibly gratifying. This is the perfect place to disconnect and spend intimate time with nature. You're surrounded by beautiful mountains and a Serene River to visit. I am very grateful for my stay, and I plan to visit again in the future.
