In here I've found a second home, the people and the place couldn't be better, there's a strong feeling of community and peace all the time. In here you never get bored and I couldn't think of a better place for connecting with nature, with me and Edith my creativity. Couldn't have found a better place 💜🌱

The lodge was one of the greatest experiences I have had. The inclusion, friendliness, and flexibility were all highly prioritised. This was true community living in the most welcoming and cherished environment. It also brought me much closer to nature and developed my gratitude towards it. The hosts were fabulous, couldn't ask for anything more! Overall, amazing experience, great for personal and professional development, would highly recommend!!

This was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. The place is beautiful, the tasks are fun and exactly what was agreed to, I never had to do anything unexpected without proper notice and guidance, and the group I met here feels like family now, and I am sad to leave them. Volunteers have tremendous freedom to go about the grounds and use the facilities as they please when there are no retreats and no work shifts to be done. Everyone was extremely kind and welcoming, the place itself feels magical to me, somewhere to heal and and find yourself and be with wonderful people.

The lodge was a heart opening experience. I felt so supported in my journey, and so connected to such a wonderful group of friends. The focus really felt like it was on our experience as individuals, making sure we're having a nice time, the focus was around that and less on the work so that felt really nice for a change. This was a life changing experience that has helped me a lot emotionally and has left me with some amazing friends who I've since met up with and stay in touch. I highly recommend this experience to people wanting to live in community. It amazing! Thank you the lodge <3
