Volunteering at Buddhist Centre

Colombia

The hosts are organized with their hours and work, however the kitchen staff have very short hours, all day until 7:30 pm. They put you in groups that can be kitchen, cleaning, cafeteria or maintenance, which is generally in green areas. For the latter, the work can be hard and although they agree on 6 hours, I would think that it could be a long time, 5 hours would be better. If you are assigned to the cafeteria and cleaning, it is more relaxed. On the other hand, the hosts are very respectful and the food is mostly vegetarian, quite good, sometimes a little simple.

Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and the meditation classes are awesome. If you want to get the most out of this experience and be involved, go to as many classes as possible. Be aware that this is a meditation the Center which means no musical instruments and it's quite quiet. If silence is a problem for you this is not the right place. However, if you want to find inner peace and meet like-minded people, this is a perfect match. the Center monks and nuns are happy to talk to you about their stories and answer any questions you have. If you open your heart, it will be filled to the brim. <3

TARA is a special place, working at Café with Harry I had the opportunity to learn new skills, meet many local people, and interact with them, especially with the dogs! Special thanks to Harry for the conversations, learning, and patience!

O tempo que eu passei no centro budista foi muito bom, eu realmente aprendi muito com as pessoas com quem trabalhei. Gostei principalmente de trabalhar no café, acho que é o lugar que mais temos interações, para melhorar o inglês. Pude me conectar com outros voluntários de outros países que estiveram lá também.

Thanks you for all your hard work - we would normally have more meditation sessions and classes available to our volunteers but when you visited we had two ongoing retreats which left less time and space for public classes. Our retreats finish mid February and you are welcome to come and visit us again, we appreciate your work and time. Sending you love and blessings for your future adventures. :)

Durante minha estadia, pude aprimorar meu inglês, principalmente quando estava trabalhando no café, pois havia o contato com os clientes. Os anfitriões são muito gentis e adoráveis, sempre preocupados com nosso bem estar. Pude conhecer uma cultura (vegetariana e vegana), que me surpreendeu de forma positiva. O ambiente calmo e silencioso contribuiu muito para reflexões não tão fáceis no ambiente que atuo. As conexões que pude fazer, acrescentaram muito no modo no qual penso sobre a vida.

I had a lovely time at Tara the Center. Was so nice to work within the cafe as well as other various roles, be in nature, learn more about Buddhism, meet people from around the world and attend the meditation sessions. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to switch off for a bit, reset and relax.

It was a very nice experience. Where I learned a lot and where I fundamentally connected with myself.

I recommend everyone! It's a really peaceful and relaxing place where you can meditate and pray. I learned about Buddhism. I could practice the English and my language skills improved a lot. Everyone was very happy and kind. So my experiences are just positive.✨

My days in this wonderful place were incredible! Everyone is so lovely and friendly and EVERYONE helps each other out! I really felt part of the whole! The working hours are respected, the work is not difficult, in fact it is a pleasure to be able to help and be involved with something so good! The place is beautiful, the accommodation is very cozy and the food is delicious! I was able to participate in classes and practices and I will certainly continue studying! Thanks to everyone who made this experience so special and contributed to my learning! Tara the Center is a home! See you soon!
