The volunteering experience was a very resting and learning one, a good way to reset. The schedule felt super energizing despite waking up early but we were so active everyday that I felt very alive at the end of this. The center is in nature and Thailand so you obviously have to cohabitate with it Having basic knowledge and practice in the Center and buddhism could be a plus as not everybody speaks english and is available for a chat

I can't believe I have to leave that wonderful place. I am insanely grateful for all this people there, that made my stay unforgettable.. you def have to keep in mind that u work sometimes „hard“ but it is so worth it. This place is in my top 3 experiences from all and that says a lot! I hope I can visit all of them again, if u think about doing it, do it!!

It is the perfect spot to practice the Center, meet some locals and enjoy local food. It is really insipiring to be able to meet a female monk: Punya is really ahead of her time and gives you very simple advises to be able to connect more with your self and your intuition. The other locals present at the centre are super lovely and even if they don't really speak english (beside the organizer) they are very willing to help and kind.

Volunteering at the Center with female monks was a deeply fulfilling experience. The peaceful environment, kind people, and fresh garden-to-table meals made every day special. Tasks like gardening, cleaning, chopping wood, and pulling branches from the river were physically engaging yet meditative. Chanting and the Center deepened my spiritual connection. The presence of lovable dogs added warmth to the serene atmosphere. It was truly an enriching retreat for the mind, body, and soul. Thank you!
