We spend a very nice time with Chantelle, she is probably the most enthusiastic person we never had in the Casa, always ready to help, to play with kids, to share a workshop, to play more and more, to help in the garden, always with a big smile and a nice energy.
It has been a really beautiful experience. Sometimes the comunity can be impressive… read more

This experience will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was there for almost 1 month. Located in the pueblo of San Ignacio, the project provides a unique opportunity to live in a less developed community with little to no tourism, while meanwhile easily being able to visit nearby scenic, touristy areas by bus (ex. Sayulita, San Poncho,… read more

I’m so grateful for the opportunity I had to spend about two weeks working here in Cajones (aprx. an hour from Guanajuato by bus). It is such a neat community project with incredible resources! The story of Todd and Vero’s family and how this came to be is absolutely inspiring. Todd and Vero are an extremely generous, talented and kind… read more couple.

One of my favorite parts of my stay was helping with the environmental camp. Rather than having the day divided into “lectures,” the entire camp was a magical mystery adventure. The staff seamlessly wove in the history of the area and helped the children find pride in their roots. I treasured the opportunity to share my love of the stars in a mini lesson around the campfire one night.

Two mornings a week, children with disabilities come here. I loved being able to work with them! It was fascinating learning about equine therapy and delightful being in the kitchen when the older kids got to cook. Plus, I loved learning some ASL (Valery is amazing)!

In terms of the afternoons, this place provides computers for the children to use to work on homework after school. You never know how many kids will come which makes it a bit difficult to plan activities. Embrace the flow! One of the volunteers that left shortly after I arrived had been doing watercolor with women from the community before their Zhumba classes M, W, and F… creativity is key! Don’t be afraid to introduce new ideas.

Shout out to Don Juan! He is the glue of this place and literally knows how to fix just about everything. Plus he has the coolest cowboy hat. And big thanks to Chelo! She is intelligent, kind, and was my go-to for questions (luckily, she knows a considerable amount of English as well).

In terms of activities… Leah (the other Workaway volunteer) and I thoroughly enjoyed sharing a delicious Dia del Amor y Amistad brunch with Don and Chelo. We also treasured visiting a mine and a couple museums with Chelo shortly before I left. Can’t forget to mention an unforgettable night watching the Super Bowl with Todd and some of his friends in Guanajuato! There is so much to do in Guanajuato, and I absolutely fell in love with the area (singing in the streets, yummy pastry shops, brightly colored houses, the list goes on:).

*Note - Living conditions were phenomenal and I appreciated the food they purchased for us for breakfast (ex. tortillas, eggs, bananas, cereal, milk:).

Additional job assignments may include caring for the plants, animals and compost (all of which are rather enjoyable and easy to do).

Having Chantelle stay with us was a pleasure. She was incredibly helpful not only with the assignments she was tasked with but also by supporting another working visitor who was having personal difficulty. We had a large number of working visitors staying at the same time and she was instrumental in helping me with organizing the workers and job… read more

I so appreciated the privilege to stay at the retreat center for nearly a week during December of 2023.

Samsang is an incredible volunteer coordinator! She lives a life of service and love both within the Buddhist community and her family. She consistently made me feel appreciated and supported and was quick to respond to any questions or… read more
