About the experience in: Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Italy
United States
Overall a good experience! I learned a lot about myself, spiritually and Buddhist philosophy. The people were lovely and eager to share their knowledge. The schedule changing every week took time to get used to, but tasks were manageable. Tasks included preparing meals, serving meals, sweeping, mopping, wiping tables, and washing dishes. There were always people around to ask for help. I wish I prioritized taking more time for myself at the center, because it was easy to end up chatting with volunteers and other guests in my free time.
