I had an amazing time at the Centre! Jema is very caring and reliable. I could ask her any question and she would help however she could. My goal was to improve my British English which was a success, as you interact with the locals a lot. The work was easy and not too much.

Since the first moment I arrived in the Center, I felt extremely welcome. Everyone has treated me like I already belonged there, and I could always ask if I found anything unclear. The organization is well-managed, and all the given instructions were crystal clear. I would definitely recommend the Center to people who are interested in Buddhism and the Center since there are many classes that one can attend. But if you are not a the Center, don't worry- everyone is very respectful and welcomes questions about their philosophy and way of life. the Center, thank you for everything!!

Devoting myself to the daily routine there made me feel peaceful. The tasks were all well managed, and every morning, I felt excited about the work ahead of me and the people I would meet. People appreciated each other's contributions to making everything better. It's such a great community. I wish the world could be full of people with compassionate hearts, like those I met at the centre.

My stay at the Center Centre was the best first Worldpackers experience I could have asked for. The space is peaceful and beautiful, and the Center classes were genuinely meaningful and grounding. Everyone was incredibly lovely and welcoming from day one, and I met so many wonderful people who made me feel completely at home. It was truly a special, enriching time, and I would love to return in the future.
