I had such a sweet and lovely time here. I felt truly supported and cared for and was inspired by the compassion and generosity I witnessed from the long term residents, monks, and other volunteers :)

My experience in CMKF was amazing, I meet lovely and kind people. The tasks we had to perform were not that complicated, but they do have their specific schedules. They are flexible with what you would or would not like to do and are willing to collaborate with whatever you need. Everything is comfortable except that the men do not have a bathroom in their bedrooms and we have to go to the castle to do so, the place is quite and you can try to spend a reasonable amount of time surrounded by a lot of peace in a place away from big cities and stores. (There are 3 in the town). Every one is kind.

I had an amazing time at the Center! It was my first volunteer experience with Worldpackers and it inspired me to apply for other volunteer positions. From the day of my arrival till I left, I always felt welcomed and appreciated. The atmosphere was peaceful and I got to meet lots of amazing people from all around the world. There were many volunteers who helped in different areas but we all got together for lunch, dinner or in the evenings and played, laughed and talked. It is a great place to find more inner peace, connect with nature and practice many languages;)

The accommodation is clean and comfortable. The work is split into multiple shifts so you don't get tired or run down. And great vegetarian food. Thank for having me and I'll definitely love to come back :)

I had a wonderful time volunteering in KMC the Center. The tasks were easy and the team explained them well, I felt accompanied through the whole process. The shifts are very well organized, the working time is respected always, only once I had to da shift by myself but because we were a bit short-staffed. It allowed me to practice my French and connect with people on a different level. I also was able to learn about the Center tradition and connect with my spirituality through the Center. Thank you for this life changing experience. I recommend to stay at least two weeks. You'll see me here again

My time at the Center was everything I could have hoped for. I felt welcome from the moment I arrived and everyone was very attentive and helpful. I worked in the kitchen and the hours were split throughout the day which made it easy to manage. It was brilliant working with other volunteers and it didn't feel like work! I will forever remember the memories and people I met here, it was such a beautiful experience and exactly what I had hoped. I was grateful to learn about buddism and enjoyed the meditations, it is a very peaceful environment here! Thank you for helping me grow 😊

It was a great experience you have the opportunity to live with many people from different countries, cultures and religions which gives you the opportunity to learn many new things, you meet amazing people and everyone inside the KMC are wonderful people super friendly, you can always talk to them if you have a problem of any aspect and they are willing to help where they can, it is a quiet place and in the forest which gives you the opportunity to be quiet and do outdoor activities.

Meeting and working with many people in the château, including those from the Center and around the world, was a great experience for me. Through the English breaks held twice a week and the books available, I was able to learn about Buddhism and the Center. The work itself was easy except during the busy season (I mainly helped wash dishes in the cafeteria and occasionally assisted with cooking), and I was so happy to be included in the celebrations for Christmas and New Year. When you take a walk around the area, you'll be impressed by the clear winter air and the beautiful forests ☺️🌿
