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.

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.

Fue una experiencia hermosa, no tengo absolutamente nada malo para decir. El entorno es lindo y tranquilo, al igual que la vida que se vive dentro del centro. Me voy con una sensación de inmensa gratitud y muy feliz de haber vivo esta experiencia en un centro budista.

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.

It is a pleasure to tell you about this volunteer. It is a magical place with wonderful energy. Everyone treats you very well. You feel comfortable in everything. There is enormous respect. They are concerned about you being well, having fun and being at peace. It is a Buddhist center, and the learning you have about taking care of your mind is free. You can enjoy the FREE CLASSES, open your mind and your feelings. It is a place of peace, love and a lot of respect. The food is wonderful. Everyone is always smiling. If I could, I would live here for the rest of my life. It is paradise.
