My experience at the project was amazing, the place is beautiful and the energy is warm and welcome. I'm very glad this was my first volunteering job, the tasks were very reasonable and fun. The amount of beautiful people I met is unreal, I learned about so many different ways of living and mindsets when talking to the other volunteers and staff. I extended my stay and loved every day, I would absolutely recommend this volunteering opportunity! Hope to return one day.

Volunteering at the project was one of the best decisions I've made. From the start, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness from everyone involved. I met so many wonderful people and learned invaluable lessons about Buddhism , about life that I will take with me forever. The work was enjoyable and manageable, the hours we respected and I had plenty breaks the project is well-organized, and the food was absolutely delicious! Overall, my experience was transformative, and I truly consider it one of the best places I've ever visited. I can't wait to return and highly recommend this experience.

The experience at the center was truly incredible! I spent three wonderful weeks enjoyed every moment, from the tasks to the amazing people there. Being part of the household allowed me to explore areas of the castle that I wouldn't have been able to see otherwise, which made the experience even more special. The hardest part was having to say goodbye.

This was my first volunteer experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better one! From the very beginning, the project team made me feel welcome. The warmth and kindness of everyone there created such a peaceful environment. One of the best parts of volunteering here was meeting people from all over the world. It was incredible to connect with such a diverse group of people. The work there felt meaningful, and there was always support and encouragement from everyone. I'm grateful for this experience and I recommend it to everyone who considers volunteering at the project.

The place is super cool! Its a great opportunity to meet people from al around the word! However the work is hard ( i was in the café), and really exhausting. Big plus for the amazing food we had every day!

The project is a beautiful place, surrounded by nature, and the free access to classes is a big plus. The 30 hours are respected, even though you end up working all day, with little time for personal growth during the week. There's no proper introduction or explanation of how things work, volunteers have to figure it out alone. You also have to pay for the washing machine and buy your own detergent, which feels unfair since we often get our clothes dirty and no staff clothes are provided. Still, great food and lovely people. I Would recommend but with a few changes from the host

I overall enjoyed my experience at MKMC, mostly because of being with an amazing group of volunteers! You are assigned a role (kitchen, cafe, housekeeping, etc.) based on where help is needed and the hours are generally respected. Communication from higher-ups can be limited, but there are Friday morning meetings and a few people you can contact if you have any questions - and the other volunteers and residents are very helpful. The property was beautiful and the shared living was comfortable with some extra expenses required, ex. laundry. The food was great, especially free, unlimited tea! :)

I would advise people to carefully research before coming here Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this experience. Although the location, accommodation, and food were great, and the work hours were respected (with lovely supervisors in my experience), I had problems with this place as an institution. I left feeling uncomfortable and concerned for other volunteers - feel free to message for more info on this.

My experience in the project was amazing. I met incredible people there, everyone at the project is very kind, helpful and friendly. I was at the café, the shift are fixed and the task are easy to learn, also Liam (supervisor) or Aurelie (manager) are always there to answer any questions. The food in the project is delicious! I really enjoyed my time there, this experience exceeded my expectations 100% recommended!
