Why 15€ a day? It basically covers the cost of the water we use here, as well as the food we buy in order to provide you the best home-cooked meals you'll have ever experienced! It also helps to fund the project in terms of upgrading the dojo, opening the gym to the locals, etc.

Truly one of the best experiences you could do! The house and property is beautiful and full of character, but the best part are the hosts Silvia and Jay who make it such a special place. Their classes are such a fun addition, and they work hard to make the home welcoming and make it fun for the volunteers. I've come twice and every time is better than the last. You won't regret volunteering at the Center!!

The Center is one of my favorite places on Earth. Jay and Silvia are very kind and friendly people and always try and come up with new ways to make this experience even better for everyone. The house is in the middle of nature but in my 2 months here I never got bored. The area around is great for running/biking/hiking and there are 3 martial arts lessons and 2 kundalini yoga classes each week. The shifts are quite easy and usually take about 10 hours/week. I can highly recommend this volunteering! It was wonderful to be back and I definitely plan to visit again someday :)

I had such a great time staying with Jay and Silvia. They're genuinely lovely people and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. I got to learn a lot about martial arts and yoga, while the peaceful mountain setting gave me plenty of space to slow down, reflect, and finally catch up on books I'd been meaning to read. The chores were very manageable, and the constant supply of healthy homemade food was a very nice upgrade from my usual lifestyle :) A beautiful place to reset, learn, and recharge.

I highly recommend this experience. I had the best time and I felt that I got so much out of my time with Jay and Sylvia. They are absolutely wonderful hosts. The property allow you to be surrounded by nature and experience life away from the city. The activities and training sessions are so fun and motivating. I had a great time with the other volunteers but plenty of time to relax as well :)

I had such an amazing experience at the Center! From the very beginning, I felt welcomed as part of the group and met some truly wonderful people. The place is simply beautiful, surrounded by nature and perfect for slowing down and escaping city life. There's a yoga or martial arts class every day, but also plenty of free time to relax, follow your interests, or hang out with other volunteers. Jay and Silvia are amazing hosts, and I learned a lot from them and their lifestyle. The tasks are simple and leave plenty of free time. I'd definitely recommend it and hope to come back one day!!
