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.

Es un lugar extraordinario!. Me llevé muchas enseñanzas para poner en practica. Las instalaciones son muy cómodas. Las tareas son bastante simples con indicaciones claras y el horario está muy bien. Todo el equipo es muy querido, muy amigables, pacientes y te ayudan mucho. Helen siempre está pendiente cualquier cosa que necesites. Fuera de tus tareas tienes oportunidad de asistir a las actividades del Centro y en tus días off puedes hacer hikes cerca o visitar otros sitios como Beverley, York, Withby, etc. A mi me gustaba salir a correr al pueblo más cercano Pocklington (menos de 2km ;)

It was a truly wonderful experience coming to stay at the Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre. Helen was wonderful and eager to make your stay as comfortable as possible, the work was very well organised and it was clear what was expected. It was a delight to have two meals cooked for you a day and the place itself is in such a peaceful nature filled land. It was awesome to also have access to the classes and their library for free during my stay. Just an all round great World Packers experience.

We appreciate your feedback Libby and the contribution you made whilst here. We strive to improve all the time both in ourselves but also in the physical environment we create for others. You helped us to do that and I hope you feel you have grown a little through being here- however, you started off pretty awesome!
All the best and hope you connect with more Kadampa Centres in the future Helen xx

My volunteering experience has been unforgettable and deeply enriching. From day one, I felt warmly welcomed into an international community, sharing teamwork and meaningful social projects. I enjoyed every meditation class and teaching, and having a private session with Gen-la in Spanish was an incredible gift. The gardens, lake, buildings, and delicious vegetarian/vegan food made everything perfect. The team kindly helped me with transfers on arrival and departure. I leave full of gratitude, with lessons and memories that will stay with me, and a strong desire to return one day.
