Steve and Darline are wonderful people, they welcomed me into their home and ensured I had a wonderful time at the Center. I learned so many useful skills and had the opportunity to try new things like painting a wall and building a shower. Steve was very patient and taught me qigong and karate, which was such a pleasant experience. I learned a lot about myself and highly recommend this place to everyone wanting hands on work and a change of mind.

The Center is a truly magical place. I experienced what it's like to live a vegan, sustainable, self-sufficient and simple life surrounded by nature, free from worry and fear. Steve's qigong classes gave me many new perspectives and taught me valuable lessons that I will carry with me throughout my life. I left a changed person. Steve and Darline are two very kind and open people who made me feel like part of the family. Darline is also an excellent cook and baker! I will always keep the time, the place & the two of them in my heart. Thank you for everything! <33

Steven and Darline are very kind and funny people. The place has a nice energy, with green hills around and a rustic house. Steve is a good lad, he taught me surfing, some building skills, and gave me good life advice. Darline cooks really delicious food. When the weather is good, you can go surfing, visit the town, or dance. Great for people who love nature, don't mind living off-grid, and want to clear their mind or learn something about Qigong, building or gardening. Thanks a lot for this experience!

Best volunteering experience ever! We had a great time at the Center. Darline is a lovely person and cooks incredible vegan food. Steven is hilarious and a totally chill guy with lots of great stories. The work was easy and without any fixed schedule. We did some painting, rendering, etc.
We spent a few nights in a tent and then moved to the meditation room, which was very cozy. This is a place where you can learn about building and about life. It's a place where you can truly be yourself 🏄🏼‍♀️

I will think about my stay at the Center for a very long time. I had such a beautiful time with Steve and his partner Darline. We cooked together everyday, ate together everyday, shared lots of laughs and Steve is truly a teacher and has so much wisdom to share, the work wasn't overly hard but a nice challenge and I learnt lots of new skills. He practiced Qigong every morning and I were always welcome to join. I would definitely recommend the Center to anyone wanting to open their mind, connect with nature, and feel loved and welcomed. Thank you Steve and Darline <3

I love the place, in the centre of the forest in the mountains, the simple life I could live there, connected with nature from within, is priceless. I loved every task I had a chance to do for the Center. I discovered and healed myself through my personal time, and from each task I did truly engaged in it. Steve was super chill about the timeline schedule, with or without the hours done, and even about the time when I was not feeling up to work. Steve is working at his own pace and the weather conditions to improve his home for the present and the future, preserving nature. :)

I loved my stay at the Center! Steve is an amazing person, with whom you'll immediately get along with. He's always there for you and you'll learn incredibly much about life, spirituality and QiGong which is transformative. The work is rewarding and the room super comfortable. I can't forget the amazing view! I'll be back soon.. to reconiiize ;)
