The Experience

For an interactive visual novel about opening relationships, exploring likes and dislikes, granting permissions and holding space for boundaries, I am looking for skills like: - Brainstorming and describing story ideas, unusual character developments and intriguing, funny, or deeply emotional dialogues - Posing for one of the characters - Digital photo & art editing / retouching - Creating music or sound effects - RenPy / Python programming

During this experience, I encountered several aspects that future volunteers should be aware of. I found some challenges. I felt transportation was at the host's convenience, and meals didn't consider my needs, leading to hunger and sometimes feeling manipulated. I felt forced into activities, contrasting with my expectation of a leisure trip, not an unexpected spiritual retreat. Despite these issues, I believe there was no ill intent from the host side, just a misunderstanding of expectations. Clear communication is key for future volunteers. I hope this serves as a constructive insight.

Dear Daniel, your review makes me sad. I asked you many times what you wanted to eat, if you had enough, etc. There was no forcing, I suggested things to do and you told me that you liked them. I even fulfilled your carnival wishes and gave you a costume.

You only worked a very, very few hours, because most days were leisure or wellness time. Our agreement was 4 hours of daily work and you didn't show much interest in that. I gave you a good review because I made my peace with it, and also because we had good talks, I felt them honest, open and clear, which was helpful for some things regarding my projects.

I feel like you showed me a super friendly and honest side of yourself and after you left, you turned around and showed the opposite.

I recommend this experience if you're looking for peace and a safe place for inner work or healing. Nils is a lovely person, very comprehensive and a great listener. If you would like to live the full experience, my advice is to have with Nils an open communication, you'll find that it's beautiful!

Nils is really friendly and understanding person. The accomodation is comfortable and pleasant. He is vegetarian and I was happy to try a different diet. So good! He took me to different landscapes to record the videos. So get nice shoes, comfortable clothes and suncream ready! It wasn't a problem, at all! Really enjoyable! The house is in a remot place so you can take the chance to have a calm stay with an amazing view. Also he is happy to ride you to the bus station if you want to. I strongly recommend this experience!
