Shared Experiences
Carla from WWOF France
The stay my friend and I had at Benedikt's was wonderful.
“Benedikt is warm and goes to great lengths to make everyone feel comfortable. the place is beautiful, and there are plenty of activities to enjoy. Not everyone speaks perfect English, but everyone is respectful and inclusive. As for the work, it's quite relaxed; we aren't asked to do much and we're free to do what we want.
I recommend spending the entire week there because we only stayed for four days, from Friday to Tuesday. Apparently, from Monday to Thursday afternoon, the atmosphere is calmer. We arrived between Thursday and Sunday when there are more people, so it depends on what you prefer.”
Yohay from WWOF France
Our time at Vaikuntha was amazing.
“The members of the community on the farm welcomed us warmly, and we quickly felt like we belonged. I arrived with my four children, aged 10 to 18, and each of us found our own way to connect. The kids especially enjoyed the company of Natasha and Cinthia, and the sense of freedom and adventure they experienced.
Benedict, with great sensitivity and flexibility, took care of everything we needed and beyond, ensuring that we felt comfortable. We had the space and freedom to find tasks and areas where we could contribute meaningfully.
We thoroughly enjoyed the free time, the musical evenings, the shared dinners and their preparation, swimming and boating in the river, and exploring the nearby area. The sense of community and the unforgettable memories we created made this a truly enriching experience for all of us.
We highly recommend this experience, and we will definitely return when the opportunity arises!”
