Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre

We are based in a beautiful Georgian mansion set in a tranquil 42 acres of natural park and woodland. The centre is a beautiful peaceful retreat in the stunning wolds countryside.

Volunteers are from all over the world - you have the chance to meet many new people and make lasting friendships! Also you will have the opportunity to learn about Buddhism and meditation and how to keep a peaceful mind.
We are based just a 45 minute bud ride from the city of York which is a top UK tourist destination with lots of culture and history. 1 hour from Leeds and only a 5 minute drive from the beautiful market town of Pocklington.

We welcome volunteers from all walks of life, you don't need to be a Buddhist to come. Each day will be a meeting in the morning and then working with one of our supervisors in the various areas of the centre - grounds, cafe, b&b, household and helping out with courses and events. You will be working with a friendly, kind bunch of people who work and volunteer at the centre full time.

Volunteering at the Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre was an incredibly positive and enriching experience. It was a journey of significant personal and spiritual growth, offering a serene and supportive environment. The centre's level of order and organization is remarkable, making all the activities run smoothly. Above all, I will remember the genuine warmth and kindness of the people there, who made me feel so welcome.

Minha experiência no centro foi incrível. Desde o 1o momento que cheguei me senti muito acolhida e respeitada. Todos eram muito generosos, sorridentes e se preocupavam genuinamente com o bem estar da comunidade. O trabalho no café era super dinâmico, conheci pessoas maravilhosas que levarei para vida além de ter tido a oportunidade de aprender e me aprofundar nos ensinamentos budistas.

I had a truly enriching experience here. The work was as described and included a variety of tasks such as gardening, helping in the café, cooking, and baking. Helen was a great host—she made sure I was comfortable with each role and regularly checked in.

The atmosphere here is warm and community-focused. I really appreciated the opportunity to drop into meditation classes, and the environment itself is peaceful, safe, and impeccably clean—ideal for reflection and personal growth.

Overall, this was a meaningful and balanced volunteer experience and I would highly recommend it to others.

Volunteering here had been a truly wonderful experience for me. Beyond words.
The centre itself is a serene haven. Being immersed in such a peaceful environment allowed me to reconnect with myself on a deeper level.
The tasks given are not hard and the delegation is clear & well-organised. On days off there are plenty of beautiful places nearby to explore.
The host Helen & other volunteers are super nice and welcoming. I met many fascinating people here from diverse backgrounds, each of whom taught be valuable and life-changing lessons.
