It was a really peaceful experience. The staff and all volunteers were very kind and make you feel at home. We didn't speak much to the main staff during our stay other than when we arrived. The volunteering tasks are very easy and training is given to show you what to do when you start. 20 minute walk away from the supermarket and location bakery. The best time to stay is for less than a month if you don't have a car because it is quite hard to access the train station on your day off (1 hour 30 walk to the station and 2 buses out of town a day) Thank you the Center for our stay in February :)

My experience at CMK was extremely pleasant and peaceful! The place is full of kind and loving people and the work hours are perfectly respected. It's the perfect place if you want some quiet and peace of mind and spending time in nature. Staying there with the residents and volunteers was amazing, thank you and love you all ❤️

The Center is an amazing place. Where we have the chance to connect with our inner self and with the nature. We feel part of a community contributing with work and socialization, what brings us back to the purpose of our existence. Was a really deep experience to me. Gylwang, Erwan, Philip, Jean Philip, Olivier, everybody made me feel welcome and “home”. The food is amazing and healthy, the accommodations too. The tasks are well explained and easy to do. :-)

Gyalwang and all the other people were very nice. The work in the kitchen is not too hard and spread throughout the day, alongside the meals. The castle was under construction, which was a bit annoying but will probably be better in the future. The forest right across the street is good for runs and walks, otherwise there is not much near the Center. I knew before that I would sleep in a 6 bed dormitory but it slightly annoyed me anyways, having bunk beds and waking up throughout the night. I really enjoyed the guided 12 o'clock meditations that we got to attend. :)

My experience at the Center was inspiring and motivational as they supported and assisted my work in housekeeping and also managing the housekeeping team. The structure is very good and they take it serious but offer good ackommodation and food as well as a nice athmostphere with the nature close by. The people and the place together make this an experience worth having xD

The experience was interesting. I made volunteer friends there and before I left, nun Gyalwang, who was very good, opened my eyes to the true perception of life.

I had a wonderful time at the Center! People are really welcoming and caring, always open to chat with you about anything. It was my first experience with the Center and Buddhism, the environment was so peaceful that I could learn a lot both from the residents and from other travellers. The shifts are generally easy and work hours are respected. Everyone is very understanding and they will explain everything you need to do. You're gonna eat lots of veggies 🌱 The accommodation is cozy and the castle is beautiful. The majority of the teachings are in French (but some in English!). Recommended :)

I had a great experience at KMC ! The place is beautiful, the teachings are interesting, the work is easy and doesn't take long (4-5 hours per day), and the people are kind and funny. I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants to connect with spirituality and nature :)
