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 :)

One of my favorite volunteering experiences! The people I met at this center were some of the kindest most genuine people I have come across. They really prioritize your personal well-being and are always checking in making sure you feel comfortable and care about their volunteers truly! The work is very straightforward and easy and agreed upon working hours was always respected! I would absolutely recommend this center :)

Wow. Just wow! If you want to feel useful - if you love being around respectful people - volunteer here. I met fantastic people attending retreats. I met amazing volunteers from all over the world who have become friends. I worked in two departments. First the kitchen. I learned different techniques to serve up large lunches and dinners. I did gardening They pay sattention to the environment and to keeping the smallest animal and insect safe through environmentally safe procedures. I was lucky to help with placing 250 plants The feeling of being welcome was great!

I felt really welcomed by the whole team at KMC. The work was not difficult at all so you have plenty of time to relax and do you own thing. I met many amazing people here and hope to come back one day again. Thank you!

I had an absolutely wonderful time at the Center the Center. Everyone here is so kind and welcoming, and I learned so much about myself, Buddhist teaching, and the local culture. The work can be hard sometimes (especially in Landscaping and Maintenance), but they're always willing to teach you skills and listen if you need rest/want to work elsewhere. I will say—knowing some French would be very helpful, but I don't speak any and didn't have many issues at all. Many people were kind to translate for me if needed. Thank you KMC the Center for this experience!
