It was an amazing experience staying at the project Meditation Center. I spent a lot of time meditating and was able to reconnect with myself. I also met many wonderful people, shared life experiences, and learned new things. The building itself is beautiful, with over 400 years of history. Words aren't enough to describe it—you simply have to go and try the project volunteer experience for yourself!

Everyone was so kind, and I left with a heavy heart. I definitely want to go back as soon as possible because I've never felt such inner peace anywhere else! Most of them are wonderful people, and Sian, Molly's mom, and many other locals made me feel right at home🥺🥺❤️

This is the second time I volunteer in the project and I really loved it. The people is so nice and always try to help with whatever you need. The work and the working hours are perfect because you have fun while you learn a lot of things and meet the sweetest people. I definitely I'll come back again 🫶🫶
