Bianca is a friendly, respectful and very committed volunteer. She keeps to the agreed schdules and adapts easily to the functioning of the team. She has knowledge of web creation and programming, which was a great help during her stay. In addition, she is tidy, correct and maintains a positive attitude at all times.
We would recommend her with complete confidence for any project that requires a responsible, collaborative person with good technical and human skills.

Thank you Bianca !

Appart from the joy I was able to have at rediscovering the teachings of Darma and Budda, I am delighted to have been able to contribute to the development of social networks through the editing of Videos and flyers in order to highlight the retreats spiritual and Christmas events. I was also able to participate in various cleaning tasks and share friendly and spiritual moments with the locals. I highly recommend this experience to all people who wish to share an experience that allows us to focus on ourselves and discover a pure rhythm of life.

Had a great time in the project, Maria José made me feel really comfortable, and explained me what were my tasks, an amazing leader!! The other volunteers were from a lot of places, but had a great time meeting them and learning from them, people with dreams and aspirations. Miss them so much :)

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to volunteer at this place. The location is good, you're isolated but just 10 mins away from the bus stop to Madrid so you don't feel trapped. The food was amazing! (Despite the lack of protein). The cook is the heart of the volunteers there. The days he was off food wasn't as great so be ready with snacks and protein supplements. Communication can be improved, some rules like not exercising indoors got to be found out after you made the fault and that never feels good but overall ok. My team leader, Grace and other volunteers were the best part.

I had an incredible time at the project! First of all, the location is beautiful! You stay in this peaceful town in the mountains, which really allows you to calm down and connect with nature. The tasks are very manageable and the residents of the center were very welcoming and incredibly patient with me even though my Spanish is not very fluent. As a volunteer you can also attend all of the meditation classes if you want, they are very flexible with the working schedule. Would definitely recommend! :)

Being in a meditation centre did me a lot of good! It's a calm and peaceful place! You have access to the meditation classes and activities they have! The shared rooms are good, as is the food. The people are always respectful and I had a great time with the volunteers.

It was a great experience. People are friendly, kind and lovely. The Centre is a place where yo can be in touch with nature. It's also quiet and peaceful. I had five unforgetable weeks in that place.

The location and the environment were very peaceful. Overall, the atmosphere and people are welcoming and nice. I felt like they weren't too organized. The volunteers were left to figure a lot of things out. There were also volunteers who left because of the food. There was only one food option per meal - I felt some meals lacked enough protein and dark green vegetables. They also counted the arrival day as a day off that week, and there was some confusion about the volunteers being charged for towels, which is something so small that the center could do to create a more welcoming environment.

I can't give lest stars to this experience because the people i met therewill be forever in my heart. I made so many friends, and i got along with the residents and volunteers. Unfortunately, there was some things about the volunteer that was not very cool, but at least I did my best all the time! I think sometimes they forget that we are volunteers and not a employee… Maybe with more conversations and communication this can be solve really quick :) furthermore, i would recommend this place to someone who wants a place calm to stay, it's”far”from madrid (1h by bus) and it's really beautiful.
