First of all, it's a volunteer project so it's important to know that one must have gratitude and spirit of service to contribute. the Center happened to me serendipitously and it has been one of the most memorable experiences of my volunteering career. Zenit and Didier are incredible hosts who with extreme hard work and passion have built this beautiful abode of wellness and healthy living. The place is 50km from Barcelona and about 18 km from Mataró, another coastal city. There are buses with 2 hours intervals and last bus to reach the place which is right next to bus stop is at 8:30 pm.

I definitely recommend volunteering at the Center, what a beautiful place! After I got used to the daily tasks, structures, surroundings, people and bus schedules haha I really enjoyed my stay to the fullest. For me it was the perfect combination of working, connecting to like-minded people, to myself and to nature, enjoying free time by exploring the area and improving my spanish! I'm leaving feeling blessed and thankful for this experience

I absolutely loved my time at the Center :) I am so grateful to have been able to have an experience where I could meet other volunteers from different cultures and nationalities and to really immerse myself in the Spanish language. The retreat is beautiful and Zenit does a really wonderful job of keeping things together. At times, it could feel like a lot of tasks (especially on the weekends), however, I found a lot of the work to be therapeutic and overall, I had a great time and would definitely do it again.
Thank you so much Zenit & the Center team for this experience!!

The place Virginia and Didir have built together with care is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature in a small quiet town. The facilities are great and the tasks can be varied. It can be a lot of little details to remember at first but gets easier over time. Something to keep in mind is the 5 hour shift is divided into 3 hours in morning and the rest for dinner prep/clear up which is important to note if you're doing another job.

If you're looking for a place to chill and connect with nature and people with good vibes from all around the world, this is the place! The activities change depending on what's needed throughout the weeks, and with the other volunteers, I ended up doing a little bit of everything. It was a great experience to improve my Spanish and also practice my English with other volunteers and guests. Thank you, Zenith, for opening your doors to me. Hope to see you soon ✨

Staying with Virginia and Didie was very nice - a small team of volunteers was well coordinated and communication was clear and friendly. They try to listen to the volunteer's opinions and make it comfortable for all. Around there is beautiful nature and Barcelona is near by so all great

I had great time at the Center. Zenit and Didier are very kind and made me feel part of the family, spending the cristhmas holiday eating and playing together. The job is easy and, in my case, i have appreciated it because you're in charge of "medidative" works like cleaning and gardening. It was a usefull experience to learn about eco-friendly project and adap to living in a healtiest and more flexible way.

Staying at the Center was a great experience in a beautiful place, Zenit and her family made me feel welcome and I hope my spanish has improved too! Having the space to explore the mountains and the beach was really nice and I've met some amazing people I am so grateful for. One thing to note is if you like being in busy cities you are little far away but the bus is reliable :)

I had a really good experience overall and would definitely recommend it to the right kind of traveler. If you like being outdoors away from city noise and having space to disconnect, this is a great fit. The work was varied. I enjoy hands-on, physical work, so I found it meaningful rather than tough work. The hosts are very organized and have volunteering experience. For remote workers - if you need reliable WiFi (especially at night), check with the hosts as it depends on where you stay. Groceries requires time and planning. So keep that in mind if you're balancing another job.

The Center is a unique place.
Virginia is very hard working and very comotted to the long term vision. She helps you a lot with anything you might need and gives you direction when in doubt. I had a very good personal experience and I would definitely recommend it to anybody.
