I couldn't have had a better experience. This place is truly magical and enchanting, and the people I met were so kind and attentive. It's a place of peace and connection. Çidem and Cliff are two extraordinary beings who taught me so much, and I will always remember them as treasures on my journey. I am deeply grateful to them. I must mention that I felt a strong connection with the cats and dogs that live there. If I could choose, I could live in this the Center for the rest of my life.

It's an amazing place if you're looking for a change and if you're looking to connect with nature in a different way.
The food was vegetarian, delicious, and plentiful. Tasty homemade desserts.
The communication with host is fluent, with the employee it's a little more difficult because he only speaks Turkish. But he is willing to teach and learn a few words to exchange.
The work is not difficult and it varies depend the moment you stay.
I would definitely return, either as a guest or a volunteer.

The place is amazing, a nice natural place in Bodrum, calm, open views and a constant feeling of disconnection 💯 The manager was conflicting in general: perfectionist, he controlled every detail and was annoyed by things like the use of the phone during free time. Expect one to be available all day, not just the agreed 5 hours. There were two direct confrontations with the manager that included shouting and insults. In a location inside mountain, where an immediate exit can leave the volunteer at real unsafe. For the rest, i recommend it.

I had a truly wonderful two-week experience. the Center felt like paradise, and the host was warm, welcoming, and helpful. I completed my tasks, had time for myself, met people from around the world, practiced meditation, and learned new skills. I appreciated every moment. Time flew by, and I wished I could stay longer.

The Center is in the middle of a tiny village, surrounded by beautiful the Center trees. The grounds are well kept by Durmas, a very kind man. The dogs and cats are all very sweet. The food is good and the yoga classes are a plus. Despite all of it, the experience didn't work for me due to the interpersonal interactions. There are many details I would need to add for this to make sense, which Is not possible due to the limited space available to write here. I appreciate the opportunity, but feeling down and exhausted at the end was not what I expected.

The land itself was extremely beautiful. A very pleasant environment, although it is completely isolated from any location for external activities. The food was amazing doesn't matter who was cooking. They treated me politely and we had interesting conversations. I was out of my tasks for a couple of days, but eventualy we talked about the things I went there to help them on it and I think it was pretty good to experience a little of that. I recomend you to be sure about your activities and set a plan of work so everything goes well.

It was an incredible experience at the center. From the location, the food, and above all the people, Cigdem, Cliff, Durmaz, and Nurai are generous and kind people. Working with them was easy. The tasks depend on the needs of the week or the day, but the agreed-upon terms are always fulfilled. I had plenty of time for myself in a beautiful garden, among kittens and dogs. If what you're looking for is to connect with nature, turning down the noise a bit is your place! I have no doubt I will return as a volunteer or guest, but I will return.
