Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Our center is an active community of volunteers and staff members hosting a wide variety of international programs, seminars and retreats geared towards personal growth and well-being.
Aide
The help we need is varied and depends on the activities at the center. We mainly host small groups of people who attend workshops or stay with us for several days for retreats. Our crew of international volunteers helps us with supporting the workshops and seminars, this could be getting the seminar rooms ready, welcoming guests, check-in and check-out, maintaining of the gardens and taking care of our chickens, dog and cats.
Our center is a place of stillness and tranquility. We also have different rooms where you can watch a movie, do yoga, meditate or engage in any other practice you enjoy.
If you choose to stay at the center during your time off, It is important to stay active, positive and creative pursuing personal interests or working on a personal project at the center. We do provide and organize group activities, depending on the schedule at the center.
During your days off, you are also welcome to visit and explore other cities. If your time-off consists of two consecutive days, you may also choose to stay overnight in another city. Consecutive days off requests have to be discussed with our volunteer manager. We are only 20 minutes walking from the train or bus station or 5 minutes by bike. Brussels and Antwerp are very within close proximity of the center. (30 minutes by train)
Please contact us if you are looking to be part of an active community and have a sincere desire for personal growth and are looking for a self-transformative living and learning experience. If you’re passing through and are looking only for a place to eat and stay while visiting other cities or countries, we are not a good match for you.
