We have finished our new beautiful bathroom outside for mealtime and bodywork guests. We also rebuilt the Pool Bathroom and are ready to put a new roof on the managers room which is outside of one of our guest rooms Picasso.

Feedback volunteer week:

"It was a such a nice week. Within a very short time I felt at home. I experienced the days as a lively hustle and bustle and at the same time there was this "more", a stillness, a connectedness and depth that I cannot describe with words. It was a very precious time."

"A quiet community with very friendly people. There were helpful Workshops for the spiritual path and delicious food. A stay here highly recommended 🙂"

"I felt very comfortable, could be who I am and accept myself more. Through the spiritual work I learned that I need more grounding. There was a lot of creativity, and I was able to express myself musically and dance-wise. It was just great!"

It was good to dive into another life, to fill up with new impulses and energy from the silence and to be a useful part of a spiritual community. In addition to the daily yoga sessions and silent meditations, my highlights included the joint mantra chanting, the exchange with the community members during the daily work and the loving togetherness.
