I spent two great weeks here. The first one was very quiet and relaxing (there were only two of us volunteering) but all the people who lived there were really kind and polite. During the second week several working visitors arrived (most of them from UK) and I was employed in different activities: from chopping wood to painting rooms but I also… read more

Beautiful place, kind and interesting people. This was my first workaway experience and I wish I could have stayed longer!
I learned a lot about Buddhism and feel inspired to learn more, thanks to everyone for the hospitality!
The work can be anything from maintenance to cleaning to gardening and the shop and cafe, and they are pretty flexible :)

I spent a few weeks at and it was quite different from what I expected. Before arriving I idyllically imagined that I'd be tending to a small garden patch in a shape of a mandala and do lots of meditation and have tons of alone time while working on my tasks. I was mistaken.
My whole time there I didn't have any space for myself... and it was… read more

I spend 2,5 weeks at this peaceful and beautiful place. I was able to join some of the meditation classes and I learned a lot about Buddhism and useful life wisdom and philosophy. Food, accommodation and work were excellent as well. I can highly recommend this place!

You'll be able to talk a lot of English, since there're mostly native English… read more

The centre is an amazingly peaceful place and I am really grateful for the time I spent here. I really enjoyed the meditation and retreat sessions and learnt a lot while I was there. The work in the cafe was fun and I enjoyed being the carpenter for a while ;) Thank you to everyone, you are all wonderful!

The site is incredibly nice, surrounded by fields and sheep. The vegetarian food was really great. The best was to choose the work to be done. Thanks to that I worked many days in coffee center and now I know how prepare cappuccinos. It was also a very good opportunity to learn Buddhism and meditation classes to attend. I recommend to anyone… read more
