Johannes’ volunteer story
“Living and working in the Lothlorien Community is very relaxed and enjoyable. Here I got the opportunity to focus more on inner balance and freedom (of stress) in the different individual tasks and living together with others. Growing in the role as volunteer is very rewarding. I can discover skills and strengths about myself or share dsifficult tasks with others, this covers many areas: social, gardening, crafting, cooking, self management, spirituality. Life here is very grounded yet it never gets boring. I feel greatly supported from management and volunteers finding place and understanding for my personal needs or concerns and creative ideas. The atmosphere is very special at Lothlorien, it fills me with gratitude and respect for the place and the people who make the place what it is. The rules and structure are sensible, flexible and feel natural. It seems the highest authority is the prevailing peace and mutual respect for one another. I am coping well volunteering full time without financial income otherwise. I am looking forward to stay another year at least.”
