I have had such a wonderful time here at Tara the Center over the last two weeks and I leave a different person to the one that arrived. The community here are so loving and welcoming, and they really care for you. I did different tasks here including cooking, serving in the cafe and building/grounds maintenance, each of which I really enjoyed and gave great opportunity to serve others and promote the activities of the Center. The vegetarian food was was brilliant and there are many opportunities to take part in meditation sessions and learn Bhudhism. Thank you to everyone and I highly recommend.

Tara is one of the best Kadampas to volunteer... The place is beautiful, the room is comfortable, the people are friendly and willing and there are many blessings involved in such a special place. Yes, there is a lot of work to be done, but if you come with an open heart you will realize that the spiritual work we need to do within ourselves is much greater than the manual work. I recommend it and will be back soon!

I had an unforgettable and fulfilling time at the Tara Meditation Center! The work arrangement are reasonable, and there are various flexible tasks. Working in the cafe allowed me to learn a lot of relevant knowledge, and it was extremely rewarding to collaborate with many genuine people. Also the scenery here is beautiful, making it a great choice to go hiking on the rest day! I recommend this place to everyone who wants to have an meaningful volunteering experience. I would love to be here again!

This was my third time in Tara and I will definitely come back countless more times, I would stay forever, if possible. The nature around Tara is perfect... the people are like a second family to me, the food is great... And being able to serve the Center, Geshe-la, Buddha is an immense pleasure for me. I recommend it to everyone who wants to experience a special volunteering experience, this is definitely the best place!

Thank you for your kind words Joseli.

We would highly recommend Joseli to any establishment.

Joseli is one of the kindest and friendliest people I have worked with, she is a fantastic worker who takes on all tasks with a happy, peaceful mind. Her work is of the highest standard and she is able to work in any department and adapt easily.

She is also a great example of a Buddhist practitioner - always smiling and with a kind and helpful manner.

Thank you so much for all your hard work Joseli - we hope you will come back and stay with us again soon.

Kind Regards
The whole Team at Tara Centre

I had a very nice time there. Everyone is very nice and always smiling, which creates a very nice environment. Work hours are respected. If I only have one thing to say, it's that it was a little bit cold, especially in the kitchen, but they made sure to put the heater on a little bit. Otherwise I would recommend this experience!

Tara the Center is surrounded by a stunning and very peaceful nature. The lounge is very lovely. Since I did multiple jobs ( such as gardening, cleaning, kitchen, cafe shop...) I learned a lot! It was like a "life school" for me. Other volunteers and many other people were very nice people. Other than a few small misunderstandings and the man who is responsible for the building (He was rude to me and some other volunteers), I am happy that I joined and I learned SO MANY THINGS! Good contribution for the rest of my life. Thank you and best wishes

The hosts are organized with their hours and work, however the kitchen staff have very short hours, all day until 7:30 pm. They put you in groups that can be kitchen, cleaning, cafeteria or maintenance, which is generally in green areas. For the latter, the work can be hard and although they agree on 6 hours, I would think that it could be a long time, 5 hours would be better. If you are assigned to the cafeteria and cleaning, it is more relaxed. On the other hand, the hosts are very respectful and the food is mostly vegetarian, quite good, sometimes a little simple.

Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and the meditation classes are awesome. If you want to get the most out of this experience and be involved, go to as many classes as possible. Be aware that this is a meditation the Center which means no musical instruments and it's quite quiet. If silence is a problem for you this is not the right place. However, if you want to find inner peace and meet like-minded people, this is a perfect match. the Center monks and nuns are happy to talk to you about their stories and answer any questions you have. If you open your heart, it will be filled to the brim. <3

TARA is a special place, working at Café with Harry I had the opportunity to learn new skills, meet many local people, and interact with them, especially with the dogs! Special thanks to Harry for the conversations, learning, and patience!
