As my first volunteer experience, this location was perfect. The residents are very welcoming and work to create a good environment for all. The volunteers I have met here and the connections I have made were the best part of this experience. This is a great spot to learn more about Tibetan Buddhism and to open your mind to a different way of life. Thank you Tara the Center!

This was my first volunteering experience and it honestly exceeded all my expectations. I mainly helped with household tasks (cleaning), and I truly enjoyed it. Ximena, the household manager, is such a lovely person β€”working with her was a pleasure and really motivating πŸ’› The connection with the other volunteers was amazing too; I made friendships that I'll carry with me forever πŸ’•πŸŒΌ I also learned so much about Buddhism, which was really eye-opening and inspiring. Oh, and the food β€”absolutely delicious! I felt welcomed from day one✨

My two-week stay at Tara the Center were my first volunteering experience. Everyone is extremely welcoming and kind, providing a supportive and welcoming environment. During my time there I mostly worked in the cafeteria, which was a great place to not only work but also socialize and meet new people. My English skills improved significantly during my stay, thanks to the opportunities to practice and engage in conversations with both locals and other visitors! I learned a lot both socially and culturally. I will miss you all very much, Bea.

During my volunteer experience at Tara the Center in Derby, I coincided with the winter the Center, engaging with practitioners, the Center volunteers, residents, and teachers. the Center offers a serene environment, surrounded by 38 acres of parkland and woodland 🌳 Its proximity to Etwall makes it easy to access local services and enjoy peaceful walks. Tasks were fair and well-organized, with a strong focus on community harmony 🀝 The World Peace CafΓ© β˜• is a lovely spot to relax and connect. I'm grateful to Donna, Sam, Nath, Ximena, and the entire wonderful team πŸ™

Great time at Tara's, especially as I was looking for a getaway from the city and to have a bit of country time! I really enjoyed the kitchen shift, working with the others to make delicious veggie meals for everyone. I stayed during the six-week the Center time so my experience may be different from what you will experience as there were quite a lot of other people there from all over the world, coming to experience the Center. I personally really enjoyed this as I got to meet lots of people from all over the world as well as offerings every night!!

It was an amazing experience, people in the Center were very kind and generous. The place is really wonderful and beautiful to spend time with nature. The activities were interesting and I learned from them. The volunteers were very nice and it's very interesting to learn about different cultures and ways of thinking. I am interested to learn more about meditation and Budhism. Thanks Sam, Donna, staff, residents, and volunteers.
