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.

Staying at the organization Meditation Center was an incredible experience. The center's venue in the mountains is breathtaking, and the beautiful snowy days made everything feel magical. Participating in the daily Kadampa tradition Puja in the temple brought a deep sense of peace and connection. The community is warm and welcoming, and helping with daily activities made me feel fully part of this unique and inspiring place.

I had a really good experience at the organization. The schedule was well organised, the tasks were enjoyable, and it was great to share the experience with another volunteer. I especially appreciated attending meditation classes and Gen Devi was very kind and guided us through some lovely meditations. Although there were not many events during our stay, overall it was a positive experience!

It was an amazing experience in the heart of the Swiss Alps, surrounded by such lovely people and a wonderful host. The venue, the nature, and the locals were all super nice! It's a perfect opportunity for travelers to immerse themselves in nature, transcend everyday worries, and reconnect with their true selves. The tasks were clear, and the working hours were always respected. Thank you to the amazing host and the wonderful people of the organization IRC.

Volunteering at the organization center in the Swiss Alps was unforgettable! I learned to be flexible, stay present, and enjoy every moment. Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to travel with purpose and learn along the way! 💛 I am so grateful to Sophie, Jampel, Anetta and Ali.

Had a wonderful time at the organization! The people are warm, authentic and fun. Although there werent a lot of guests when I was there, there was always something to do. I'm going to miss my breaks basking in the sun, the cosy meals together and the peace I felt staying here. I felt accepted into their small community for these two weeks. They're all wonderful and Sophie was a great host, super nice, flexible and fun to be around. I already miss it, this was the perfect place for my first workaway. I slept comfortably, the food was great, the location is beautiful and I felt useful and appreciated x
