Volunteering at Buddhist Centre

I am so grateful for the experience I had at Tara IKRC! I was quite nervous as this was my first Worldpackers experience but I immediately felt so welcomed by the residents and the other volunteers. I worked in the cafe most days which was a lot of fun and allowed me to meet many locals. The community at Tara was by far the best aspect of the experience - everyone takes care of each other here. The grounds are also incredibly beautiful and I spent much of my free time walking, meditating, or reading outside. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to improve their mind!

It was a very nice experience, I met quite a few people, the hosts are very kind and attentive to you. It's far from big cities, but the nature is beautiful. The food is vegetarian; if you're not, it can be difficult the first few days, but you eventually get used to it, and it's very tasty on many occasions. The assigned hours are followed, but if you get the kitchen shift, you won't have continuous hours; they will be spread throughout the day. However, you can talk to Natha, who is very kind. Overall, a good experience, thank you all

It was an amazing experience, the host and the resident are very kind, the jobs are very easy and it's a variety of job that you can either kitchen hand, gardening, housekeeping or helping in the cafe. The food is very good and the meditations is excellent.

My first volunteer/worldpackers experience and I could not have asked for more. The permanent volunteers and teachers at Tara the Center are so kind and welcoming while the friendships I made with the other short-term volunteers were amazing. I worked in the garden most days which was great - good hours and outside in the fresh air all day. Food was delicious and seconds always available, tea and coffee available all day was another nice touch. An amazing place with amazing people.

I learned a lot of things during my volunteering at Tara, it was an incredible experience! I had the chance to meet so many kind and amazing poeple from different parts of the world. I was able to attend sessions and learn about Buddhism and meditation as well. The meals were always very good and well-served. Most days I worked at the Cafe, where I learned a lot and was able to practice more English and meet local people. The Center is very very beautiful, there is a lot of nature and everything is calm and peaceful. I feel very grateful for this opportunity, and I hope to return someday!

I had the absolute best time at Tara center! It was my first volunteering experience and I enjoyed every minute of it. The center is surrounded by a beautiful garden and immersed in an incredible atmosphere of tranquility and peace. The staff is made of incredible people with stories to share who will welcome you, respect you and treat you like family and I was so lucky to share this with other awesome volunteers. The position of the center also allows you to visit many cities as well as having the most amazing walks in the nature. I would most certainly recommend this place to anyone.

I spent two weeks at the Center and had the best time! The place is amazing and surrounded by beautiful nature. I spent most of my shifts working at the café and was able to attend a few meditation sessions. The work is explained very clearly and you get to learn new skills. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and caring, making you feel like you really belong there. Overall the atmosphere is peaceful and wholesome, so I couldn't recommend it more!
