Volunteering at Buddhist Centre

Brazil

Olá!!! The work can be divided into areas, which can change during a week: kitchen, garden (a little heavier/not impossible), maintenance and household. Being in a the Center environment, like Tara, is an opportunity to grow as a person. Ximena and her sister are always ready to guide, Donna is a sweet person. It was essential to be there to look at myself more and evolve. By prior arrangement, you can even participate in events. Be open to discovering a new culture. I spent weeks, I recommend it. :) Abraço. Até!

I had a fantastic time volunteering at Tara the Center, everyone there is super welcoming and I felt at home there very quickly. There are lots of different jobs to do and the flexibility is great. The grounds are amazing for working outside and the location is very peaceful. Brilliant food and facilities, and interesting classes for those wanting to learn more about Buddhism. Very relaxed atmosphere :)

Tara is a super special place and I feel very fortunate to have been able to volunteer here! The energy of those who live at Tara is something I have never experienced before in this capacity, everyone is so calm, helpful, generous, and inspiring. Being able to go to as many meditation/prayer classes as a volunteer was a huge bonus and am so grateful for all I have learned during my stay here. I worked solely in the cafe for 3 weeks and loved it! I loved living in this space and cannot wait to visit again soon <3 PS the food is amazing and the girls dorm is super spacious and clean!

I was lucky enough to spend almost all of my volunteer time in the café and truly loved it there! I got to learn how to make espresso drinks which was a goal of mine. It consisted of meeting locals, talking with guests and serving food/drinks. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about beginner the Center/dharma practices, going to prayers, meditations and reading the free e-books provided. I learned beginner techniques that I can take away and apply to my daily life. I hope to be back one day. Thank you to Sam H, Harry, Sukha, Nat, Ximena, Sam S, Tharlam, Both Donnas, Gen Dema, Nick, Mark M, Keith🤍🤍🤍

The Center is comfortable, the people who greeted me are friendly, it was a good experience and you learn about meditation, which was really nice and helped me find more peaceful moments for reflection.

This is my second volunteer experience, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. I learned a lot about Buddhism, had the opportunity to consume only vegetarian food for two weeks, which was one of the experiences I wanted to have, met amazing people from different parts of the world. Additionally, I developed skills while helping in the café, kitchen, or forest. I am very grateful and without a doubt, it is an experience I would repeat.

My experience in Tara was just perfect. I learned a lot about the Center Buddhism and met INCREDIBLE people that I will always have in my heart! This place is so peaceful and beautiful and perfect for practicing English. The working schedule is generally long but super fun. I recommend this place 100%. I love Tara💘

I loved my time at the Tara center. I was able to meet incredible people from all over the world and improve my English. I felt at home the entire time and felt the love and care that the residents here have for all the volunteers and visitors. I learned a lot from my tasks and got to experience the routine and culture of the people here, it was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you everyone for the incredible experience.

Thank you very much for all your hospitality to all of those who make the center possible, to those with whom I interacted, with whom I had the joy of working, I have fond memories of each of you. It was a nice first experience as a volunteer, I managed to improve my English and also learn a little more about what Buddhism is, I became curious to learn a little more about its interesting philosophy. A hug to each and every one of you, I will always carry you with me :)
