Fue una experiencia hermosa, no tengo absolutamente nada malo para decir. El entorno es lindo y tranquilo, al igual que la vida que se vive dentro del centro. Me voy con una sensación de inmensa gratitud y muy feliz de haber vivo esta experiencia en un centro budista.

La experiencia en el centro fue muy linda! . Fui en invierno y el paisaje era hermoso. Helen me recibió y me acompaño de una manera muy amable, estoy muy agradecida por la experiencia en general pero en especial por toda su ayuda. Hacía frío afuera pero en la casa había buena temperatura. Las comidas geniales. La habitación muy cómoda. Es un buen lugar para disfrutar de un tiempo de tranquilidad. El trabajo es muy ameno, las tareas son simples, y te explican y enseñan lo que tenés que hacer con mucha paciencia. Fue mi primer experiencia como voluntaria y recomiendo!

Estar en este lugar de voluntaria ha sido una experiencia maravillosa y enriquecedora para mi persona, sin duda 100% recomiendo este lugar. Las personas son muy amables, el lugar es increíble, se transmite mucha paz y las comidas son deliciosas. Todo está muy bien organizado, tus horas son respetadas, existe mucha comunicación y el trabajo es sencillo, tienes toda la tarde libre y puedes andar en bicicleta, salir a caminar, ir al pueblo caminando o incluso ir a un gimnasio a 15 minutos caminando del centro. Estoy infinitamente agradecida que me han hecho sentir en un hogar.

Minha experiência no centro foi incrível. Desde o 1o momento que cheguei me senti muito acolhida e respeitada. Todos eram muito generosos, sorridentes e se preocupavam genuinamente com o bem estar da comunidade. O trabalho no café era super dinâmico, conheci pessoas maravilhosas que levarei para vida além de ter tido a oportunidade de aprender e me aprofundar nos ensinamentos budistas.

I had a truly enriching experience here. The work was as described and included a variety of tasks such as gardening, helping in the café, cooking, and baking. Helen was a great host—she made sure I was comfortable with each role and regularly checked in. The atmosphere here is warm and community-focused. I really appreciated the opportunity to drop into the Center classes, and the environment itself is peaceful, safe, and impeccably clean—ideal for reflection and personal growth. Overall, this was a meaningful and balanced volunteer experience and I would highly recommend it to others.

Volunteering here had been a truly wonderful experience for me. Beyond words. the Center itself is a serene haven. Being immersed in such a peaceful environment allowed me to reconnect with myself on a deeper level. The tasks given are not hard and the delegation is clear & well-organised. On days off there are plenty of beautiful places nearby to explore. The host Helen & other volunteers are super nice and welcoming. I met many fascinating people here from diverse backgrounds, each of whom taught be valuable and life-changing lessons.

It is a pleasure to tell you about this volunteer. It is a magical place with wonderful energy. Everyone treats you very well. You feel comfortable in everything. There is enormous respect. They are concerned about you being well, having fun and being at peace. It is a Buddhist center, and the learning you have about taking care of your mind is free. You can enjoy the FREE CLASSES, open your mind and your feelings. It is a place of peace, love and a lot of respect. The food is wonderful. Everyone is always smiling. If I could, I would live here for the rest of my life. It is paradise.

I volunteered at the Center for 3 weeks, working in the grounds and cafe. It was a great work experience, with a clear work schedule as agreed upon. The grounds and the Center are beautiful, as is the surrounding community. The food is tasty, and I was never hungry. I enjoyed it a lot, and if I am in the area again definitely plan to return! Highly recommended.

The the Center is a cozy place to learning and sharing experiences and good moments. First of all, Helen, Kendla and all team are absolutly easy-going and cheerful with me. They were so patient, because my English wasn't fluent at all, and all they were available to show me how to make everything. The task at cafe world peace were easy and the shift ever were. There're many the Center classes and books to learn and improve the wellness. Pocklington town is nearest village to 30 min walking. There're many place to walk and relax on the grass. I hope to come back soon. Kind regards
