Glarisegg, oh Glarisegg, what a place! What a hurricane of knowledge and emotions!
The garden is a place of growth, no doubt, but here I’m not just talking about the veggies, in Glarisegg we grow all together, we put our hands and our emotions deep into the soil and what comes out of it is just beauty and life! Pure magic!
In this garden I could experience agriculture in its most raw, full hearted and simple way (but be aware, this doesn’t mean that it’s simple to do!) and yet this is such a thin slice of what I’ve experienced here. It all became a huge process of personal transformation.
Pure, clear, inner Permaculture.
Learning is a beautiful process and the garden team, the community and the nature of Glarisegg could hold that space and support my process of learning in a very special way to which my heart can answer just with deep gratitude. If you are thinking about going for the EVS in Glarisegg, stop thinking and pack your stuff. This EVS became a turning point in my life. Period.

My EVS in Schloss Glarisegg was a deeply transformative and unique experience which helped me grow and develop my gardening skills in an exceptional garden, with great people. I feel grateful to have been part of such an amazing and inspiring team, who offered me the space and support to flourish and to learn more about permaculture and the world of plants. Just as the garden goes through cycles, so was my journey in Glarisegg, filled with inner growth, healing, love and support.
This EVS offers an opportunity to expand one’s knowledge of permaculture and gardening through practical work, and also provides a safe space for exploring within and learning new ways of being in this world and interacting with our own selves, others and the environment. There is a lot to learn from living in a community, and Schloss Glarisegg is a good example of an intentional community focusing on the social and emotional aspects of creating a transformative culture.

What I learned being volunteer in the Permaculture garden of Schloss Glarisegg: feeling, feeling the nature, feeling yourself, your soul and being nature, that’s what I learned. I learned appreciating the food we can get from the nature without any chemicals. That’s amazing, when you see how the small seed you just put in the ground and watered day by day, can grow and become a big plant with nice fruits. It’s a joy to see the small baby plants, seeking for your love and care, and how your mood and behavior can change their shape and color and fruitfulness. So it’s a big responsibility to always be conscious of what you do and speak while you are near the plants, because they give you back what they receive from you. And this “rule” concerns to everything you do in your life. It changes you totally, changes your views, your life. It’s a step towards a more conscious and better world.
My deep love to Glarisegg, the community, the garden team, my friends there for this big change they made in me. I feel grateful and blessed for this chance I got from the Universe to live there, just live. It was a whole life full of joy, sadness, feelings, emotions, caring, lessons, work and happiness, dense in 9 months 🙂

I had an amazing time in the garden this year and I liked it so much that I am staying another year in Glarisegg ! Love and light to all, and thanks to Nature ! Nil Aktar from France.
Ich und mein kleines Rudel (Katze und Hund) hatten die wunderbare Gelegenheit den Frühling, Sommer und Herbst diesen Jahres in der Gemeinschaft Schloss Glarisegg zu verbringen. Im Gemüsegarten mit dem stimmigen Namen „Garten der Vielfalt“ durfte ich als freiwillige Helferin (einer) meiner Lieblingsbeschäftigung(en) nach gehen, der Landwirtschaft nach den Idealen der Permakultur. Was ich neben praktischer Erfahrung im Gemüsebau und der Zusammenarbeit mit Tieren an Geschenken aus dieser Erfahrung mit nehme auf meinen Weg, sind erfüllende und freudenreiche Erlebnisse mit den jungen Schlossbewohnern und den Kindern des Waldkindergartens der Gemeinschaft, Inspirationen für meine persönliche Entwicklung, heilsame und interessante Begegnungen mit Menschen, Tieren und der umliegenden Natur und noch vieles mehr. In Dankbarkeit und Glück denke ich daran, wie mich die Erfahrung dieser 10 Monate EVS näher an einen für mich gesunden und erfüllenden Lebensstil geführt hat. Lisa Buzzi aus Österreich
Hi there! I’m Kelly – a Self-Love Advocate – and I’ve worked as an EVS volunteer in the Permaculturegarden Schloss Glarisegg in 2015.
It’s so hard to describe my experience in Glarisegg in just a few sentences, but I’ll try. Glarisegg has been an emotional rollercoaster. In the beginning I really felt like I couldn’t be myself. This wasn’t due to other people but because I had all these expectations of-/ and judgements about myself that blokkaded me. This was actually very familiair to me in most (social) situations. Glarisegg provided a safe space where I could explore, share and allow my thoughts, beliefs, feelings and emotions. I have learned so much! About gardening, working with other people, living in a community, transparant communication and most importantly I’ve learned so much about myself. I can easily say that it was a life changing experience for me. The girl today is so much stronger compaired to the girl I was during the start of my European Voluntary Service. These 10 months were really about self love, connection and freedom and I’m so thankful for my experience in Glarisegg.
What do I do know?
In my daily life I consciously make an effort to achieve my dreams. One of these dreams is to make the world a better and more beautiful place.

I’m originally from Amsterdam but currently on a mission to expand my comfort zone and to explore the world and meet new, interesting people along the way. You can read my experiences on my blog: www.trybeforeyoudie.net
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. My path brought me from Armenia to the Permaculture garden of Glarisegg, which is a great place to learn, to let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. Ani from Armenia
My 7 months EVS experience in Schloss Glarisegg can be resumed in a few very well rounded words by Alfred Austin:
“The glory of the gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.”
… all this wrapped in warm hug from a community of big-hearted people that made me see life with different eyes and helped me connect with beautiful like-minded people from all over the world.
In 2014 I returned home to Amsterdam. I found a nice garden where I grow organic food and where, now and then, I escape from the fast city life rhythm. With any occasion, with a big smile on my face, I tell my EVS story concluding that EVS was definitely one of the best gifts that life offered me so far.
