My first volunteering in this magical place was an incredible experience. Daniel is a wonderful person, his patience and affection with my beginner's English were the best. Detraci is a sweetheart and the other people on the property are beautiful humans too. The room and food were very good and lovely animals!! I hope to return one day!

My stay here at the Center was faultless! It was everything that I had expected and much more. Dan and Detraci are such lovely people and it was a pleasure to work with them. The property itself has tons to offer, though still remains quiet and peaceful. Everyone that I met was so welcoming and kind to me during my stay. Much love!

The Center is a blessed place, with the energy of nature surrounding us in every part. deTraci and Daniel are the best hosts and made me feel so welcome and belonging to the place, giving me the best food and option to enjoy all the facilities (I loved the jacuzzi). My room was comfortable and all well cleaned. I learned about gardening and feeding goats and alpacas. Daniel showed us the city and fun places, live music and good food. To me, felt like a recovery vacation. And all ones that I truly connected with, I'm taking in my heart as new great friendship. Recommend the Center in all matters.

This was truly a heart warming experience. What a wonderful environment and community to be immersed in. Dan goes above and beyond. He puts the extra effort in to ensure that you have a memorable experience. Truly a kind and all around ace human being. Detraci is a sweetheart and the other people on the property are beautiful humans too. I felt very embraced and at home in the Center community. My room felt like a princess room and enjoyed the use of the hot tub too. The work was enjoyable and it included painting, feeding the animals and weeding! Couldn't recommend this experience enough!

I have started my volunteering in the best way at the Center. The people in charge of the place are attentive, detail-oriented and have a friendly and polite personality, especially DiTraci and Daniel, who made a unique and comfortable stay possible at all times. The activities are carried out in a flexible and entertaining way, the surrounding towns are beautiful, in short, everything was perfect.
