I really had a great time in the project. Waking up every morning in the forest is an amazing experience. I enjoyed working in the permaculture garden and helping to build a garden of aromatic herbs. I liked cooking in the outdoor kitchen but when it rained I didn't enjoy it as much, especially on the coldest days. I met Luana and Dennis, Sarah and Ishi and more members of the community, all of whom enriched my time at the project. There were some social gatherings that made my stay at the project more fun.

From the get-go, I felt comfortable in the application process because of the detailed welcome packet/guide. We were welcomed warmly from the beginning and the whole time it felt like we've been living in the project for a long time. The community is open, active and warm and the forest even more welcoming and so beautiful. The weekly check-in and meeting clarifies what the tasks are and it leaves also a lot of downtime. There's many options for seeing different towns, esp. if you have a car! Overall amazing experience and would do it again. You learn lots about building and permaculture.

Very grateful for my time at the project! Everything was well-organised and clearly communicated by Luana and Dennis, who were very sweet and outgoing, and we got the chance to meet their lovely families who came for their anniversary party. We were provided with all the camping gear to pitch our tents in the forest which was beautiful, whilst working on the permaculture garden and cooking in the open air kitchen. So much love has been put into the project by the people living and volunteering there, caring for the forest and vegetation day in and out. Thank you for this experience :)

This is great if you want to be out and nature and get away from the noise of the outside. Luana and Dennis are welcoming and organized. You will get to meet other members of the community everyone is very nice and welcoming. I also had a lot of alone time which is what I needed! Great experience

I've had a really good time in the project! Luana and Dennis are super helpful, generous and just wonderful people, same goes for their son Inti🌼 Sarah and Ishi are extremely knowledgeable and it's easy to loose sense of time talking with them🤭 I've learned a lot not only from all of them but also from this different way of living, close to nature and much more conscious living everyday life🌱 Thank you so much for taking me amongst your midst of this beautiful community, I'll definitely come back;)

Dennis, Luana, and Inti (their little son) are wonderful people. They were always attentive to what we needed and made us feel at home. I learned a lot about sustainability from Dennis and Ishi (the kind elder and permaculture expert), and discovered new ways of thinking thanks to Luana.
Sara (Ishi's wife) was one of the best parts of this experience; she's the most adorable person I've ever met. She has a beautiful soul, and I'll remember her forever.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a wonderful community. See you soon!

Even though I was only there for a short period of time I really enjoyed staying in the community! It was inspiring, comfortable and heart warming, especially talking to Sarah and Ichi which I spent most of the time working with in the permaculture garden. I was able to vary my working hours and take enough rest:) The forest is truly a growing paradise and I loved to be part of the project!

My stay at the project was truly amazing. I met many beautiful souls who were willing to teach me about life, permaculture, using power tools, community building and more. I felt very safe, taken care of and I had loads of fun with residents and other volunteers. I couldn't have imagined a better first volunteering experience :)

This has been the most wonderful travel experience I had in the last two years. the project is a beautiful place and Dennis and Luana are amazing people. I felt right at home and like I could show up just the way I am. Nobody expects you to be anything other than yourself. There is a very mature and down to earth energy in the project. I've learnt an incredible amount about permaculture, community lifestyle and everything that comes with it. The tasks are varied and you are motivated to do the things that you like or want to learn more about. There's a lot of space to grow. Truly incredible.
