I had a wonderful time at the Center. The meditations where very impactful and having a structured day was very good for me. Maria and Antje are very kind and caring; they put a lot of love and energy into everything they do. The garden was beautiful and lovely to work in and be around nature. The house was well maintained and the accommodations where very good. The food provided was healthy and the atmosphere was very calming. If you are looking for a place to rest and come back to yourself this is a wonderful place to do so.

Lovely first experience with Worldpackers. Work was varied and had time to explore Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg on afternoons/days off. Maria and Antje were great hosts. The twice daily meditations were the highlight. Thank you!

The Center is the perfect name for this place, because that's what it is! The house is beautiful, the volunteer room is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with fresh fruits and veggies, the library has good books, the garden is a sanctuary, and the cats are friendly! Maria and Antje are generous and respectful hosts, and their guided meditations are great. The work at the time of my exchange included housekeeping, composting, picking berries, processing cherries, sweeping and weeding the pathways, cobweb removal, and more. My time here was very peaceful and restorative.

My experience at this retreat center was amazing. It is a peaceful place surrounded by nature, perfect for meditation, reflection, and disconnecting from stress.
I helped with electrical repairs, maintenance, fixing wooden garden furniture, and housekeeping. The work was organized, fair, and meaningful.
María and Angie were incredible hosts — kind, welcoming, and supportive from the first day. They truly make this place special.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for meaningful volunteer work in a calm and positive environment.

I stayed at the Center for around five weeks as a volunteer, helping with the daily operation of the retreat center. It was a very peaceful and meaningful experience for me. The atmosphere of the place is calm, spiritual, and deeply connected with nature. During my stay, I helped with different tasks around the retreat and felt trusted and included as part of the community. The hosts created an environment where I felt welcomed.

My stay at the Center was a beautiful and meaningful experience. It is a very pleasant and peaceful place, perfect for concentration, meditation, and inner work. The surroundings are amazing, with lots of nature, forests, and paths for walking and reconnecting with yourself. Being in contact with nature made my stay even more special. Antje and Maria are wonderful hosts, very kind, attentive, and always available when needed. I am truly grateful for my stay of almost two months and highly recommend this place. With love, Bruno 💙🌀

My 4 weeks at the Center were wonderful and super relaxing. We did two meditations every day (morning and evening) and they helped me feel much calmer and more connected to myself. Learned several new practices I had never done before, and I'm very grateful to Maria and Antja for teaching me with so much patience and openness. They're always ready to chat about life, spirituality or meditation. Stunning nature all around, loved the peaceful walks. Huge thank you to Maria and Antja for having me, and a big hello to Bruno! Highly recommended!!

I had a truly lovely stay at the Center. Mariya and Antje were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the very beginning. Daily meditation in such a peaceful natural setting helped me reconnect deeply with myself and experience meaningful inner growth. Being surrounded by beautiful nature was deeply healing and grounding. Highlights included mushroom picking and deer watching and feeding, where I learned a lot about nature and wildlife. I leave with wonderful memories and sincerely recommend this place to anyone who loves meditation, learning, and being close to nature.

The Center was a great experience! It is a the Center harbour where anyone can find solace in solitude and contemplation and through spiritual practice and the close contact with beautiful nature present in the area, one can reconnect deeply to his/her inner self and experience great personal improvement and transformations.
Maria and Antje are great hosts! They are very clear in their communication and it was easy to organise the weekly working schedule together, plus they are really kind and you can learn a lot about meditation and spiritual practise with them. Absolutely recommended :)
