A very special experience ♥️ Everyone is super generous, the food is amazing and traditional, rooms are comfortable, and work hours are respected. There is beautiful nature, and its a truly special opportunity for personal growth. I also had the opportunity to see a beautiful wedding 🫶 The organization could improve regarding pickups and drop-offs at the station, scheduling work and days off and providing a way to reach the nearby town—like bicycles—would make the experience much better. Im very grateful for my experience ♥️ Thank you Harini, Vishnu, Nico, Lucas, Yulyanna and everyone 🫶

My time at the the eco village village was really gorgeous, there was a big week long festival during my stay and there was so much going on, so many people and an amazing energy everywhere. Everybody was so kind and welcoming and inclusive, and the work was simple and hours were respected. It's quite remote so it's a good place to go to reconnect with yourself and your practice.
