Volunteering at Buddhist Centre

United Kingdom

I really enjoyed my time at Tara! the Center was very relaxing, and the grounds were beautiful and spacious. The people were all so lovely and that also made the work more enjoyable! I mostly found the work light and easy and I always really enjoyed the food! The nearest town is a short walk away, which has a few pubs and a small shop. From here you can also get buses to nearby towns which was fun on days off. However I found I was more than happy to just stay and relax in the Center. I am so glad I decided to visit here. Thank you again!

It was a very special experience. For those who want to connect with other travelers, with nature and with themselves and try different activities it is a great place. Beside the working hours, which vary almost always, we can participate in some meditations and lectures during the day and enjoy the outdoor area and neighboring city. I have a lot to thank for the exchange.

This was a great experience. the Center is very peaceful and provides a rare space for mental rest. It's definitely worth attending the classes and learning about meditation and the Center Buddhism. The work was varied and reasonable, although you don't get to choose where you work and only find out on the day. The food was top notch home-made veggie dishes. Best part was the people: the monks, nuns and residents are unfailingly kind and the bonds you make with other volunteers truly make your stay. Big love to Tara the Center!

I totally recommend this volunteering. It is a very quiet and peaceful place. As soon as you arrive you can feel it. About the work, it's a huge bulding and there are always different tasks to be done. Most likely they will allow you to try a bit of each one and they can be really easy.I was glad to try the meditation sessions, the contact with nature, the food they provide, and the contact with many different people every day. Everything! I truly enjoyed the experience and I made many friends there. I would definitely come back! PS. Bring some cash, especially coins for the washing machine.

A wonderful place to help out and meet new people, lovely location if a bit secluded. The people are all welcoming and friendly, and the food and accommodation is good. Good experience, and working in the cafe is very enjoyable.

I had such a great experience in Tara. Everybody is very kind, I felt welcomed and part of the team. The work schedule is very organized, they plan a week ahead so you can plan your own personal agenda ahead as well. They have checklists for the jobs, so you know what to do and what is expected. The jobs are demanding. On my Kitchen shifts I was always very busy along all 5 hours, and in the end you gonna need some rest, but I've learned a lot and it was a pleasure living in the center for 3 weeks. I hope I can come back in the future. Thank you everyone in Tara, you are all special souls ❤️
