The Experience

Join our team and help develop a Zen & Health Retreat focusing on physical, mental and spiritual balance. Including yoga and grounding practices that commune with nature and the environment. The Off-Grid location is on the slopes of a beautiful volcano immersed in the natural environment. It's a bit of a refuge from the chaos and noise of most Central American "civilization" due to our remote and beautiful location.

This stay was a much needed escape from the hustle bustle to truly disconnect and reflect on my growth from my travels. Going off grid without power is a great opportunity to reflect, journal, read, and be present within a gorgeous landscape. All possible with the very reasonable hours + responsibilities. Sterling is a very chill, well traveled guy to get to know and I met many awesome people while here. He also gave amazing suggestions for the area that I would not have found myself. As the project grows, opportunities here will only become more fun and cozy! Cute animal friends to love too!

I stayed there for 3 weeks and it was a true experience. I was working with some locals and got introduced to their culture and lifestyle! The work is hard and challenging, but it's really worth it!! A lot of construction work but you also can do some own projects. I also had to care about two puppies and two cats, so nice. The place is still in the build up phase, so don't expect that much Infrastructure. But the host will take care of you, if you need anything. Nice place to stay, I highly recommend it, but be fast the puppies won't be puppies forever.

It was definitely a nice experience ! The environment was beautiful with the scenery of volcanos. We can also enjoy the grassland and endless níspero ! We woke up early and there were so many birds around us. The work of cleaning plants and small construction were interesting. After this experience, I learnt more about the skill of taking care plants. I would recommend this volunteering to people who like nature and ready to do some physical work ! :)

The experience in the Center / the Center project was a very good time for me. A very peaceful place in the volcano land with a amazing view on Antigua city and the others volcanos. The job was quite simple, help to develop the project on the site. Differents tasks with complete autonomy and enjoy. The fruits are very good and Sterling and local people working there are very kind. I appreciated all the time spended in this volunteer. I highly recommend this volunteer, it's perfect for people looking peace and quiet places. Contact with nature assured.

We worked here for about 2 weeks, Sterling and the team of workers made sure everything was fine and were really helpful. We stayed at Sterlings house and also at the construction site which was pretty awesome. If you need help with booking tours or busses, Sterling will help you without a doubt! Oh yeah, there are some dogs on the construction site (from the neighbors) and they are really sweet.
