It was more than I expected! I can say that I would apply to another the Center or even considering coming back. It has been the most life changing volunteer experience so far I've participated in. I have met lots of people, talk about really interesting topics, deep conversations I will never forget and lots of teachings about life. To be honest, I didn't know exactly how was going to be to stay in a Buddhist temple, and I've learned more than I could imagine. At the point that the meditations where one of my favorites things, I truly enjoyed it and I'll take those lessons always, thanks!

I had a wonderful stay at KMC the Center. I met many great people, learned a lot about Buddhism and the the Center, and got to practice my French. My work consisted of working in the kitchen and cafeteria but there are other tasks in gardening and housekeeping as well. Hours were always well respected and communication was great. I had a lot of free time that I spent talking with teachers, retreaters, and other volunteers. The grounds around the castle are beautiful and I felt entirely at peace during my stay. Would highly recommend!

It was a very unic experience. I got to meet some really inspiring people, and the place was so beautiful, clean and comfortable. I could spend much free time, reflecting, pondering and learning. It was really a moment of full peace in my life, in my mind and of much reflexion. Thank you so much the Center team for having me and for teaching me so many principles and virtues. I loved to meet you all, and it was a pleasure to share some of my own culture and language.

My time here was a wonderful experience- it is a beautiful place to be surrounded by nature and to meet amazing people. Tasks are clear and work times are respected, and I also really appreciated the flexibility in positions and got to work with great teams in both housekeeping and the kitchen. A memorable time that I will carry with me for the rest of my travels! :)

I had an amazing experience at the Center. The monks and residents I worked with were very kind and friendly. The volunteers were amazing. I made new friends I will cherish forever. The accommodation is great and the food super delicious. It's a great opportunity to connect with nature, learn French, learn about the culture. It's not a hostel energy, you won't find a party life. But, if you want to experience connection with others and nature in a peaceful atmosphere, don't hesitate to apply!

I had the opportunity to spend almost two months in this wonderful place. I attended weekly meditations, learned a lot about Buddhism, lived alongside practitioners who taught me by example, and met volunteers from many parts of the world. The place is divine, the people are loving, the food is very delicious, and the teachings of Buddhism transform my life and fill it with love

Amazing experience! The place is beautiful, the rooms are lovely and comfortable, the food is delicious, there's close contact with nature, and the people are incredibly kind. They also offer some classes in English, so I was able to learn more about the Center and the Dharma. I can't wait to come back—thank you for welcoming me so warmly! ❤️
