I have been doing this program for the last month. It has been probably if not one of the best moments of my life – a truly, truly amazing experience. I didn’t know what to expect when I came. […] But as soon as I arrived, I felt like being home.
Afroz is really an amazing space. It is so easy to connect with nature and people on a much, much deeper level than we are used to at home. It really is a space that allows you to connect with yourself.

During my stay I have been involved in maintenance and in general whatever was needed, I jumped in. I really enjoyed everything that I did here. I had the feeling of being a valuable part. No matter how big or small it was that I was doing – I enjoyed doing it. It gave me such a great feeling of joy inside, some deep feeling of peace and happiness. When I was painting I could feel a sense of great peace. It becomes a thing that the body does and you just witness that – the peace in action.

I: Was there a gift that you are taking home?
Oh, it is the people, the connection. Connecting with people while you are working is much deeper than just meeting during lunch fo example. You are sharing this space while you are both working in the bathroom, how you are feeling, who you are in that moment and it gets deeper every day.. Mhmm.. For me, it is really is the connection with people. […] I just want to be happy with who I am and that it is good enough for me. I think I learned that here..
