Days include shared meals, 4–5 hours of work, and optional Qi Gong sessions🧘. We value kindness, teamwork, and mindfulness. Enjoy a private room with a bathroom, vegetarian meals, and time to explore the Swiss Alps while supporting our meditation center :)

Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end! Jamilah and Brigitte are friends I'll carry with me throughout my journey; from the very start, they were very attentive and clear about what they expected from the volunteers and what we could expect from them. Thank you for everything, and see you soon :) Merci!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Gianluca 💛

It was a real pleasure having you with us. We truly appreciated your help with manual tasks, your strong sense of cleanliness and order, as well as your proactive attitude. You were always willing to help and bring ideas, which made a great difference in the daily life of the center.

Thank you again for everything, and we wish you all the best on your journey in Zurich! 🌿✨

I had a good experience volunteering at the project. The tasks varied a little every day and were based on your interests. The working hours were always respected and flexible. You get to stay at one of the hotel rooms and have your own bathroom which is a huge plus! I'm happy I got to learn a bit of Qi Gong during my stay even if they didn't have the daily practice together in the mornings anymore. The place itself is located in a peaceful valley and it's easy to explore more of Switzerland having it as a base. Thanks Jamilah & Brigitte for this experience!
