My experience at the Center was really good. Sam and Donna were so great and welcoming. The place is beautiful and the nature is everywhere. I worked at the cafe and sometime in the kitchen, the work hours are as described. Overall, I had good a peaceful time at the Center and i definitely recommended.

This was a lovely volunteering experience — beautiful grounds, friendly volunteers, varied opportunities, and kind supervisors. For arrival by bus/on foot: I suggest asking about the underground passage that makes crossing of the highway between bus stop and the Center safer. In the café, shifts can feel busy with shorter breaks, so be ready for a solid workday. That said, the supportive team and welcoming atmosphere made it really enjoyable, and the café became one of my favorite areas to volunteer. Thank you the Center!! ✨️ They're also opening a new meditation hall on the grounds, which is exciting!

Volunteering at this the Center was truly one of the BEST experiences of my life. From the very first day, I felt a deep sense of peace - not only in the beautiful surroundings but even during my working hours as a volunteer. I learned so much about Buddhism and discovered how to connect with my self through meditation. Working in the Kitchen and the café also taught me many news things, and I really enjoyed being part of the team. I had the chance to meet and talk with people from all over world, All of them kind, respectful, and genuinely friendly. ❤️❤️❤️

I had an amazing time at the Center. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt so peaceful. I helped in the café and loved learning more about latte art. I also learned a lot about Buddhism and enjoyed the meditations classes. I also shared unforgettable moments with the staff and volunteers from all over the world between games, deep conversations, and lots of laughter. Truly an incredible experience!
