I'm very pleased this was my first volunteering experience. I felt warmly welcomed since I arrived - I was picked up from the station (also kindly dropped off). I enjoyed my tasks - Helen tried to take preferences into account. I took part in Buddhism classes and meditations (my first approach). Everyone there helped me improve my English, new words and pronunciation. I enjoyed my days off in York, Knaresborough, and Harrogate. Big shoutout to Rebecca and Jo, for their lovely company. If you're looking for a safe and peaceful environment, surrounded by beautiful nature, it's here.

It was my first time in a the Center place and I loved how welcoming they were. I learned new skills working and the cafe and also felt so peaceful surrounded by grounds. I also had the great opportunity to join to the teachings during the weekend and they were life changing. Thank you so much 🙏🏽

I really enjoyed my time here, the place is beautiful ! I felt confortable and at home pretty quickly because it's really peaceful and the people there are really friendly. I made some great connections with people there. It's also a great place to practice english and learn new skills. Overall would definitely recommend it!

It's a great place to have a getaway. The people here were nice and friendly, the food was amazing and the work hours were very reasonable. I had a lot of fun helping out on the grounds, as well as some days chillin' in the cafe. The natural surroundings the place were stunning, with really old architecture to compliment the view. If you're looking for a 'off the beaten track' place to relax and chill out, this is for sure a good place to go!

Volunteering at the Center was a wonderful experience! The whole team made me feel welcome and helped me develop my English. The working hours are respected. Healthy and sufficient food. Good internet connection, which makes it possible to work remotely. I was also able to take part in classes and meditations. Without a doubt, it was an enriching experience. Special thanks to Helen, who gave me all the support and guidance I needed.

Esperienza fantastica. Helen,la coordinatrice, è venuta incontro alle mie esigenze, venendomi anchge a prendere a Pocklinton il primo e l'ultimo giorno. La comunità in cui si vive è simpatica e alla mano, nessuno vuene lasciato da solo, malgrado il gap linguistico. Unico punto su cui mi sento di dover avvisare chi visiterà il centro, è la distanza a piedi da Pocklington (40 minuti a piedi) che divrai percorrere nei day-off se vuoi visitare nuovi posti. Esperienza comunque molto positiva e piacevole!

I enjoyed spending a month at the Center. The Center is located in a wooden area where you can walk and see impressive views. There is time to explore Pocklington and York. Phachog is a nice host who understands that we are not professionals but people willing to collaborate and share experiences. She organised rides on the first and last day of visit (a big 100 for her) which shows us that the true Buddhist spirit is not in words but in actions. Another person worth mentioning is Jane, a kind person who gently taught me the B&B routine. I highly recommend this experience 😃

I volunteered here for 3 weeks, and it was one of my best experiences ever. Everything I can say about this place is completely positive. To begin with, the place has a beautiful energy that can be felt both in the environment and in the lovely people who live there. The working hours are always respected and on your day off, there are some really nice cities to visit as york .The hosts were very attentive and kind. I would definitely do it again for a longer time!
