We are a small modern monastery and a meditation & retreat center located near Hamburg, Germany. The center provides an environment to meditate, go inwards, calm down, and reconnect with oneself. It is a place of stillness and peace, and perfectly suited for experienced meditators who might enjoy the natural surrounding. We will be on vacation from September 14th to 24th and need someone to sit the center and our three cats.

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. .
