Raj and Athil were amazing hosts and they have done such a good job of teaching me many new things about my own individual and about others. They have left me with a great memory to always look back on and the guests there were always really kind as well. Making food with Raj was the funnest part and we always made amazing food! I really do appreciate them for letting me live there for so long as well. Thank you, Brooke

Where do I even begin? 🪷 Volunteering at the Center never felt like work. It felt like being part of creating something beautiful - something I genuinely enjoyed doing. Rajan is such a warm and welcoming soul who created a sense of home and belonging which made it impossible to not love every second. the Center is so much more than food and accommodation - it's a space to learn, to connect, and to discover more of yourself. I loved how everyone's unique strengths were recognised and there was space to contribute in your own way. I came with an open heart, and I'm leaving with a grateful one. 🤍

Words could not express how grateful I am for my time at the Center Retreat. I spent 10 days there, and as my first volunteer experience, I couldn't have asked for better. The hosts, Rajan and Athill, have created something special for both volunteers and their guests. I gained wonderful practical experiences like helping with meal prep, housekeeping and cleaning (tasks ranged from 2-6 hours daily). The hosts were incredibly generous with their time, and I felt comfortable asking questions or help. The food was DIVINE and so nourishing! I would love to return for a longer stay in the future!

I had such a fantastic time volunteering at the Center. From pretty much the get go, I felt welcomed and truly cared for. The hosts also created a safe environment where I could communicate my needs without any judgement. It was a beautiful experience and I highly recommend volunteering here if you're looking for peace, grounding and connecting with nature 🌱🌱

A great opportunity to really connect with nature and surround yourself in the Australian bush. Rajan was lovely ensuring we felt comfortable and had what we needed and encouraging us to participate in the yoga during the weekend the Center. It is a great place for reflection, and it was lovely to have the other volunteers around as otherwise it is quite an isolated place if you don't have your own mode of transport. Overall a lovely experience I would recommend :))
