I can't describe how incredibly my time at the Center was. Deirdre and bill are very caring, attentive &humorous people from whom I was able to learn a lot during my time. Thanks to them, the Center really felt like home. You can feel that this place has something magical and the life there had a big influence on my personal development. The tasks mainly consisted of repainting the railings and that was actually really fun. We often eat together and talked and laugh a lot! the Center is a place for everyone& everyone should see this place& feel the calming, loving aura! We will come back

I can't really describe my time at the Center. Deirdre & Bill are both lovely & caring people. It was really hard for me to leave them & the Center. They always looked after us and made sure we had a pleasant time. The work we did (painting) didn't feel like work because we were a big group and felt at home at the Center. It is a place everyone should have seen. It is truly magical and I have learned so much about me & the world. I am not sure if Deirdre and Bill understand how big of an impact they had on us. I will miss them and the dogs so much. I will definitely come back!

I can't put into words how incredible my time was at the Center. Dierdre and Bill have created a perfect little corner of the world that everyone should experience. I found it really difficult to leave such an incredible place. The work we did was enjoyable, mostly painting railings while getting to enjoy the sun!! The food was incredible (thanks to Jojo!) and being able to eat meals together made us feel like one big family. I will miss the Center and hope to return as soon as possible to learn more about the Sunburst Revolution, yoga and spend more time with the dogs!!

I spent a week volunteering at the exceptional the Center. In the morning we started with a Yoga session and then we worked 4 hours with a tea break in the meantime. The tasks requested were very simple and pleasant: painting and gardening. The magical setting, the succulent dishes, and Deidre: a host of enormous kindness and caring. In the afternoon we could also do meditation on this very cuite place! 🧘‍♀️ The accommodation is very comfortable and the vegetarian food is delicious! You can go there with your eyes closed! A huge thank you to Deidre for this amazing experience.

Virginie is an excellent volunteer. She is hard-working, conscientious and very cheerful. We very much enjoyed having her stay here, and would welcome her back.
Many thanks Virginie, and wishing you all the best for your future

This experience deserves more than 5 stars! the Center has amazing, peaceful energy and I am so sad to leave. The tasks were enjoyable and Deirdre and Bill make sure you are well looked after, as well as being amazing people you can learn a lot from. The location is beautiful and you have everything you need in the house to feel comfortable. We were offered yoga in the morning and did some meditation which was super interesting.Deirdre is a fabulous cook and provided us with delicious food and fresh vegetables from her garden to cook with. I will miss this place (and Joey the cutest dog) :)
