I had a truly enriching experience here. The work was as described and included a variety of tasks such as gardening, helping in the café, cooking, and baking. Helen was a great host—she made sure I was comfortable with each role and regularly checked in. The atmosphere here is warm and community-focused. I really appreciated the opportunity to drop into the Center classes, and the environment itself is peaceful, safe, and impeccably clean—ideal for reflection and personal growth. Overall, this was a meaningful and balanced volunteer experience and I would highly recommend it to others.

Volunteering here had been a truly wonderful experience for me. Beyond words. the Center itself is a serene haven. Being immersed in such a peaceful environment allowed me to reconnect with myself on a deeper level. The tasks given are not hard and the delegation is clear & well-organised. On days off there are plenty of beautiful places nearby to explore. The host Helen & other volunteers are super nice and welcoming. I met many fascinating people here from diverse backgrounds, each of whom taught be valuable and life-changing lessons.

It is a pleasure to tell you about this volunteer. It is a magical place with wonderful energy. Everyone treats you very well. You feel comfortable in everything. There is enormous respect. They are concerned about you being well, having fun and being at peace. It is a Buddhist center, and the learning you have about taking care of your mind is free. You can enjoy the FREE CLASSES, open your mind and your feelings. It is a place of peace, love and a lot of respect. The food is wonderful. Everyone is always smiling. If I could, I would live here for the rest of my life. It is paradise.

I volunteered at the Center for 3 weeks, working in the grounds and cafe. It was a great work experience, with a clear work schedule as agreed upon. The grounds and the Center are beautiful, as is the surrounding community. The food is tasty, and I was never hungry. I enjoyed it a lot, and if I am in the area again definitely plan to return! Highly recommended.

This was my first volunteering experience and it couldn't have been better! I 100% recommend it. The place is absolutely beautiful, and the people at the center make you feel completely at home — it truly has a magical vibe. Helen is always there to support you and makes sure that you're doing tasks you enjoy and feel comfortable with. The schedule is respected, the work is easy, and the food is super tasty! I'm leaving with the best memories and so much gratitude for this experience.
