Amazing experience!

2.5 weeks was amazing experience! 😍 I made lifelong connections and learned a lot about Buddhism. The accommodation was simple but okay, shared with three other girls. 🩷 The place is very remote, no public transport and a 7 km walk to the nearest bus station, so keep that in mind. Some rules were changed without warning and the atmosphere had a few challenging moments, but nothing too bad. The vegetarian food was great, with free coffee and cold drinks. I worked about 35 hours a week doing gardening, cleaning, kitchen help and barista. Overall, a lovely place and I would happily return! 🩷

Everyone was welcoming from the start; I got along with pretty much everyone! Work was fair and fun; when I got sick in my last week they were super understanding. Food was delicious (LOTS of pumpkin lol) and the place is beautiful. There's tons of nature experiences around, such as hiking and going for walks. My biggest qualms were with one specific person (but this was an isolated incident unrelated to the experience here.) Overall, I highly recommend this place and I am wanting to return next year!

My experience at the Center was truly unique . I learned so much about myself there. I was also able to join some teachings, parts of retreat and connect with sangha which really made my whole experience special. You will have so much ressources to introduce yourself or learn more about Tibetan Buddhism. I also liked learning about the housekeeping and everything at the cafe.

The experience in the Center was unique. I've got the amazing opportunity of getting to know the monks and nuns who were really generous with their thoughts and knowledge. I found it really challenging, is a sacred place and purifying is not always that easy, sometime you can feel suffering or, as me, feel a little bit sick. Be patient, it is really worth it! I found it a life change experience. I would love to come back. Thanks the Center!

Volunteering and living at the Center was absolutely magical and life-changing in so many ways. I've travelled before, but this experience hit differently and way deeper. I was super lucky to connect with such awesome people and have honest, enriching exchanges. I learned so much about myself through it all! the Center has a special place in my heart and my story now. As for the work, the shifts are indeed 6 hours a day doing whatever's needed. Personally, I love the variety of working in different areas, so I was stoked with that!
