I had a fantastic experience, was very exciting helping to contribute to the projects end goal. Folkert is very passionate and determined he taught me so much, not just physical skills but he is very spiritual and knowledgable, we had many deep chats about consciousness and meditating ect.. the meditating techniques he taught and practiced together really helped me to find some inner peace. The food offered here was delicious and fresh and it was great fun to have creative freedom with the afternoon meal. I felt very at home here, like a family. We went on many trips to oasis, jungle, beaches

Folkert as welcoming at the beginning. The place is very pretty as in the photos. We maked 2 méditations per day. We did gardening, loaded and unloaded rubble, dug a trench. Folkert would prepare the breakfasts and I would prepare the meals. But the fact that there are no toilets is disconcerting. It should be noted that there are only two meals and the host is very insistent on this. He refuses to eat outside of meals even the food we brought. On the fourth day, he asked me to give him a massage in his friend's room where we were for the day, which I found very inappropriate. We stop after

Hello Worldpackers, my two and a half weeks at Diego's the project were a profound experience. the project represents not just a place for creativity and art but is rather a life project aiming to create a space for a community living in harmony with themselves and nature. Diego invests time, energy, patience, and financial resources to share his knowledge and open the world to those eager to learn. I want to thank him for this gift and wish Diego all the best. May many wonderful people find this place to not only support Diego but also advance his vision and become a part of it. Warm regards 🍻

We had a good time in the project, Diego has been very respectful and very nice with us. The job is easy and very nice to do. Not luxury live there, water has a lot of value in the desert. We have leaned a lot and the private space was great.
