I stayed here for one month! In general , It was great for me staying there because I tried to focused on the positive parts which can be lots! I really enjoyed the compromise with healthy lifestyle and routine, it gave me an idea of how to keep practicing it in everyday life. Work could be tireying but in my case I enjoyed it when I tried to make… read more it in a fully presence way, and learnt lots of gardening skills, even though there were some expectations to finish , you could do it at your own rhythm, I recommend doing it like that, regardless of what is said to you, to put you first and your health and need so you don’t exhaust yourself because sometimes the tasks that are given to you can be a little hard but I feel it is good for us to have challenges. This connects to my other point , free time was not enough bc afternoon tasks had to be done , in hand with cleaning the dishes , etc. So I hope they can manage the time better so volunteers get 5 hours before noon meditation, noon meditation was great :) I loved it . I got the great chance of meeting incredible very beautiful people from all over the world , it made my stay memorable, so I thank that. I loved the routine of taking Breakfast then reading Tao Te King and then taking a tarot card . Luisa and Pujari really invest time , effort, money and energy to make that place flourish. It is great to see the interest and learn from that but having such a big house need lots of mantainance and hard work which can be exhausting. I found myself frustrated sometimes , we had little time to communicate or instructions and ways of treating could be a little bit tough or not given in the best attitude, the great thing is that we talked about this , and I hope thinks change step by step, after all , we are all humans and we are all here to learn helping each other , so , be patient, empathic , love and speak up when you feel something needs adjustment ( like more time , communication , special food needs, recreational time etc) because this is a space that need some feedback , love, creativity and caring to develop more. In general I recommend it , specially if you look for some place quiet , surrounded by silence and nature (1 hour away walking from anything which I really loved most of the time ) . And also if you want to change a little bit your lifestyle , experience something different , learn about conscious living ( in some aspects), meditating a bit every day and want to do some jobs in the garden . I am very thankful to Luisa , Pujari for introducing me to their project , to the universe and myself for being able to stay there and work with everything, the “good “ and “bad” in a way that I realize now that I managed to enjoy it.
All my love and gratitude to this place, garden and their creators so that it can keep implementing.
Love Camila.

Claudia is always willing to help and to learn, and she helped us a lot in the garden, but also with keeping the house clean. If you are looking for a positive and smiling energy in your place, invite Claudia!

The food available to use is top quality and the workload is balanced with enough spare time to enjoy the space and surrounding area. Often there is a ride available to the beach!

I enjoyed my 2,5 weeks with Louisa and Pujari. The morning yoga was invigorating and the evening meditation/dancing was relaxing and interesting. We cooked wonderful and nourishing food everyday and in our freetime we could relax by the pool or walk to the beautiful coast. The work was hard, but rewarding. Louisa and Pujari are very good and… read more
