Some of which are: Helping in the kitchen (Baking skills are desired =)) // House keeping // Taking care of living spaces // Gardening // Spontaneous projects

One of the best volunteering experiences I've ever had. The people in the community were very friendly and made me feel right at home from day one. The townspeople were also very friendly and gave me a warm welcome. The tasks are incredibly flexible, and the opportunities to start new projects and connect with your artistic side are always encouraged. I absolutely loved this magical place!! Thank you so much!

Magic is real and it lives in the community! this community has been my sanctuary for a month, it was the perfect place to end a beautiful summer. every person i befriended here has an effervescent soul and made me feel seen - strangeness is not only accepted here but appreciated, we were weird and wonderful at dinner time dance parties and underneath meteor showers and in ice cold rivers. the work was catered to my creative spirit, i got to spend my days in the sewing room, or craft supply storage, and i got to partake in bringing to life a giant jellyfish -it was ideal! i will miss it forever!!

I had an amazing time at the community for a month! It's a very creative place, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to contribute, whether by working on your own personal project or helping with daily tasks and dinners. Reto is an incredible guy who genuinely takes an interest in getting to know you. Also, the St. Gallen area has a very authentic Swiss atmosphere, with stunning mountains, beautiful lakes, and cows everywhere. I wish all the best for everyone πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­πŸŒ„
