All the people in the community are amazing, I had a hard time making friends with the other volunteers, I didn't feel connected, there were 9 of us I think because it's a lot of people, the work is hard but we have a lot of breaks, I felt really bad at one point we were work in the garden and we needed to go down to the small lake I couldn't get down and nobody offered me help, I was very scared in one episode a volunteer was kicked out for giving her opinion about the safety of the volunteers, that was scary, but I did my best, unfortunately I didn't enjoy my volunteer experience.

This was genuinely the best world-packers experience I've ever had!! The accommodations are amazing, comfy bed and good food. The working hours are long but you get multiple breaks. The people at this center treated my like family, with a kind and open heart. I definitely recommend staying here!

Staying in TKMC was a really enriching experience. Learning a bit about buddhism, meeting other volunteers, nice conversations with all the other residents and monks. For sure it's something I won't forget! The work is really nice, specially when outside and with other volunteers. One week wasn't enough, hope to do it again sometime in the future. Thank you, TKMC members!

Many thanks to the Buddhist community and the other working visitors for this time full of beautiful moments, new experiences and profound conversations. I felt welcome and very appreciated. You helped me to leave my comfort zone, improve my rosty English, learn a lot about Buddhism in everyday life and come to rest. The memories of pujas, prostrations, amazing offerings, tea breaks, delicious pizza at Easter, molehills and garden projects I carry in my heart. See you next time. Lots love, Silvia

Once more I was welcomed with the warm hospitality of the Center family. Not only it's the perfect place If you are looking for quiet retreat completely surrounded by nature and to learn more about Buddhism, they'll kindly talk to you and answer all your questions, but also there are trains nearby constantly going to Berlin. The work in the garden was somewhat hard at times but they were always concerned about my welfare offering support, rest and equipment. Also there are lots of indoor tasks which are not demanding. Thanks for everything I enjoyed a lot!

This was my first volunteering experience, the the Center is huge and comfortable, people were very kind and you feel the tranquility of the place. Even though they need help cleaning the park the work is not heavy and there is no pressure to end quickly, you always can continue the work the next day. The way how they handle the administration is very good too: day off, work, meditation talks, etc. You can choose between two options Vegan or Vegetarian food. either way your choice the food is delicious. I enjoy living and sharing with the people of the the Center :D

Is the best place to stay if you are looking for nice people, good food and amazing place to work. Me and my husband stayed there for a week and a half, we helped the center with outside work, some raking, clearing and picking up some sticks and branches and throw them in one gigantic pile. But they have other projects to work on as well, including clearing some old gardens, fences, and posts, etc. Everyone there was really nice, in our free day whe went to the concentration camp near by and they helped us with some bicycles to go into town. If we have the chance for sure we will coming back.

Amazing experience! This was my first time at worldpackers and it couldn't have been more special. In addition to the center being beautiful and allowing you to be in close contact with nature, Antje and all the residents welcomed me very well, making me feel at home. The job went exactly as agreed and they were super flexible about days off. Learning a little about Buddhism was also very special and I feel really happy about it.
