The Center is just incredible. The place, the people, the peace, you name it. I would totally recommend this place if you want to calm down or just want to have a break from the busy city life. Every day was super chilled but not boring at all. There is always something going on but you can easily take some time for yourself if you want to. (So far it was my favorit place in my 3 months trip).

I enjoyed my time at the Center to the fullest. Brendan, Sarah and Jarrah are a lovely family and very welcoming. It was an amazing group of volunteers that formed an even more amazing time and experience full of love and positivity. I learned a lot in my (only) 2 weeks stay about natural building with the super guidance of Brendan's knowledge. In general the knowledge from Sarah and Brendan about life is huge and getting to know diverse volunteers around the world was very interesting and enriching. It was a perfect balance of working and reconnecting with myself and nature. Thank you!
