Volunteer visit at Buddhist meditation centre near Berlin

Estados Unidos

I had a great experience at the Center and learned more about different cultures and beliefs. The other travelers all represented different countries and were very friendly and fun to hang around. The residents at the the Center were very welcoming to any questions and were very social. The work will keep you busy during the week, but there are several tea and snack breaks throughout the day. I wish I could have stayed longer, and I highly recommend.

Being at tarpaland was a beautiful experience. Everyone you interact with is so respectful and warm. Talking to the monks and nuns was always such a peaceful experience. They were super willing to answer any and all questions I had even when I felt like it was a bit of a dumb question. There's so much laughter shared there as well. Oh! And the food is great! The property is beautiful too! I learned so much about Buddhism during my stay and feel I am walking out of there better than I arrived. I'm so grateful to be able to implement some of the Center techniques to my daily life back home.

I had an incredible time at the Center. Despite not being a vegetarian myself, I thought the food was amazing. You will work, whether it's inside or outside, but with the breaks and the people you're with, it will go by quickly and easily. The residents at the center are all wonderful people. You'll share laughs and if you're curious about how Buddhist's think about the mind, many deep conversations. There are opportunities to go to Berlin or the surrounding towns if you wish. Nothing beats taking a bike ride in the countryside while the sun sets. Thanks to all at the center.

I was there for a week where I was able to disconnect and connect at the same time. It's a place that brings peace. You learn about gardening in terms of volunteer work, you collaborate in the kitchen. You can participate in the meditations which are really a wonderful space to nourish your body, soul, mind. They are very respectful and you feel free to decide what to do in your free time. Grateful for the opportunity to share and learn about modern Buddhism. Nice people. Gen Repa 🫶🏻

There's a lake 20min bike away. The cooks and the vegetarian food is filling and amazing. (I'm not vegetarian) the work is varied but doable. The day is well planned out with lots of breaks and the three meals. My stay here has helped me realize a few things about my outlook on life thanks to the teachings I went too. The residential Buddhist are super chill and nice. Coming here, I didn't know anything about Buddhism and that wasn't an issue at all. The jobs are fun because we do them together with other volunteers. The location is beautiful on the countryside!! Coming again.

I am very grateful to have had the experience of living there for a month. I met amazing, lovely and funny people. The food was great, there is amazing forest around the place and beautiful sunsets to enjoy. There is a lot of work to do so I could improve my cleaning, cooking and gardening skills. Also my English, Spanish and about myself with all this experience with the Center classes. Such a lovely moment. I felt right at home. Hope we meet again. Thank you all.

The days at KMC couldn't have been better. I just didn't want to leave. Everyone is very respectful, open to talk about whatever I wanted and always showed concern for my well being. The food is wonderful and the room and bathrooms are great. Besides the whole building being beautiful, the surrounding nature is perfect. It's not too far from the city and there are bikes available for when I didn't want to walk. I made amazing friends and had the best experience with volunteering in my life. I will remember you guys fondly always. I will definitely come back in the future.

The perfect volunteer if you want peace and quiet...away from the madding crowd of the city and surrounded by trees. But, at the same time, close to Berlin (only one hour). On the other hand, the people are wonderful, warming and always willing to help you!!💚

This was genuinely the best world-packers experience I've ever had!! The accommodations are amazing, comfy bed and good food. The working hours are long but you get multiple breaks. The people at this center treated my like family, with a kind and open heart. I definitely recommend staying here!

Staying in TKMC was a really enriching experience. Learning a bit about buddhism, meeting other volunteers, nice conversations with all the other residents and monks. For sure it's something I won't forget! The work is really nice, specially when outside and with other volunteers. One week wasn't enough, hope to do it again sometime in the future. Thank you, TKMC members!
