The organization is a truly special place, surrounded by majestic mountains 🏔️, The accommodation was clean and comfortable, the vegetarian food was delicious, fresh, and abundant 🥗, tasks and days off were respected, which made the experience feel balanced and enjoyable 😊. But without a doubt, the best part was meeting so many special people like Victor, Hanz, Valentina, all teachers including Tiger 😺 They welcomed me like family, were incredibly patient with me, and made me feel truly cared and encouraged me in my journey on the meditations and budhism. I'm leaving with a grateful heart 💜✨

I had a wonderful experience as a helping hand at this the organization center. I worked closely with Victor in the kitchen to plan and prepare meals for between 5-50 people. The center was respectful of my time as a volunteer, and quickly my role became clear and attainable. The residents at the organization were warm and welcoming, making a very culturally different experience feel like home. I didn't want my time to end! It was truly a joy to help serve the guests at this calm and peaceful the organization center. In your time off you can use the public transportation easily, or just explore the beautiful town.

Everyone is super nice here! Peaceful and friendly. The tasks may vary every day, but they are mostly simple. Just chopping veggies, laundry, preparing rooms, et al.. Most of the time I was alone in my room, except a weekend when there were retreaters. They provided all the meals. It's so delicious, everyone I met here is good at cooking.

I had an amazing experience during my weeks at the organization. Everyone was so thoughtful, welcoming, and friendly, especially Aurelie and Vincent. I have learned a lot during my stay, not only with the people, but also with some of the prayers that I was able to attend. The work activities match the descriptions, and everything was explained with care and patience. I recommend the place not only for people looking for volunteer work, but also for those waiting to experience something new. I thank them very much for my first volunteer opportunity and for how much wonderful they made it.
