Had an amazing time at the community. The community there is so welcoming and I met lots of great people, short term volunteers to the monks and nuns and residents who stay there year round. Besides the people the buildings and grounds with its forests and beach are remarkably beautiful, with the Lake District nearby and cozy town of Ulverston nearby for fun day trips. Working in the cafe was also a great experience, it can get quite busy on weekends but you learn lots and the hours are always respected. The manager Odro is very chill and helpful. Would highly recommend!

This was absolutely a great volunteer job. I really did love it. I met many nice people (fellow volunteers and residents). I worked in the art studio and I loved it. It is a lot of fine detail work; sanding and fixing scratches or holes in the statues. I normally just listen to music and do my work; it was really great to learn (and I would say it was pretty calm and relaxing). The hosts were very nice and the rooms were also really nice (and clean). I will say if your looking to party, this is not the place. It's very calm and quiet. The main town is an hour walk or 10 minute drive.

The three weeks I stayed at the community was sensational! During this time I learned to reconnect with myself and also how to live in peace the way Buddha teaches. Each person that passed through the path contributed to make this moment special, so thank you all ❤️ About the work: there is a lot of it, but you can always have fun if you are open to it, besides that I learned many things that I will take for life (like painting techniques haha)! Super recommend!!!

Living this experience for two weeks was immensely transformative, I learned every day from people and I will take it with me for a lifetime. I improved my English, I was able to make friends from different nationalities and cultures, in addition to developing new skills.

I can't describe my stay at the community with words, it was a life-changing experience for me. Everything about this place is amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for something different and more deep in life, for anyone who needs to be in a safe place to find themselves.

It's a magical place, will meet people from all over the world, and maybe like me, create very strong connections! It has a very spiritual atmosphere and people with the same energy. If you like the community and want to know more about Buddhism, improve your English and also reconnect with nature, this place is what you are looking for. I felt very well educated, even though I didn't speak the english language very well, my supervisor, Thourya, was able to explain everything to me, even though I had to repeat it sometimes, she did it with a big smile on her face! Thanks, I hope to come back.
