Everyone is very kind and friendly; it's an empathetic community where you can feel great energy and breathe peace and tranquility. The tasks you collaborate on are simple and enjoyable. Additionally, if you'd like to have a closer connection and learn about the Buddhist religion, it's an excellent place for your volunteering experience.

My time at the meditation center was a deeply contemplative experience. I had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and develop new skills by engaging in activities I had never tried before, such as working as a barista in the café, while also practicing my English. Although I participated in some meditation sessions, I never felt pressured to follow the practices carried out at the center. Everyone – volunteers, residents, and the people in charge – was extremely welcoming and genuinely concerned about ensuring I had the best possible experience. I highly recommend it.

La experiencia de ser voluntaria en el proyeto fue muy enriquecedora. Todos fueron muy amables y pacientes. Pude adquirir experiencia en el café que me servirá mucho y conecté con personas increíbles durante mi estadía. ¡Recomiendo asistir a las meditaciones y recorrer los alrededores saliendo a caminar!

My experience at the project was amazing! As a volunteer, you can participate in classes and meditations, as well as have access to the beautiful garden and lake to enjoy nature. It was two weeks of learning and a lot of exchange with other volunteers, residents and managers. You will help with varied tasks such as cleaning, gardening, cooking and in the cafe. I recommend it to everyone who wants to learn more about Buddhism and take a break from the busy cities to enjoy nature and peace! Thanks again Sian, Jow and the entire the project team!

I spent 2.5 weeks at the project and had the most wonderful time there. It was my first volunteering experience and I could've not asked for more. The people (residents, volunteers, customers) were simply wonderful. I really enjoyed working in a café and learning some barista skills. Additionally, seeing how a centre like the project is organised, was very interesting as well. The centre is located in a very remote area (if you don't have a car) and is surrounded by beautiful nature and cute villages. For someone who likes walking als much as I do, it was the perfect escape from busy everyday life

I'm thrilled to have had a volunteering experience with them. Thank you for everything!

This experience has been one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Everything I learned from the people, from the teachers, from myself will be forever in my heart. Can't describe the kindness of the people, I recommend coming here and opening your heart to take all the beautiful things this place has to share. Thank you all for giving me an incredible month. The work and the people you get to work with are amazing, the food is great, always more than enough. I made lifelong friends and learned things that I will cherish forever. 🤍

I did my first volunteering at the project, and it was the best decision I have ever made. The people are super friendly and patient; they are always very attentive and provide a lot of support. I worked in the kitchen with Paul, and it was a wonderful experience. I loved working with him and Dave; they helped me a lot, and I learned a lot from them. I also want to highlight Jo and Sian, wonderful and affectionate people, who made my stay there pleasant and very enjoyable. Thank you very much for the trust you placed in me on several occasions. I promise to return.

It was my first experience, and the best! I'm sure I chose the right place to start the year volunteering. Everyone at the center is attentive, even if you don't speak English well, and you have the opportunity to improve. I made many friends that I want to keep for life, and I hope to come back here next year. Jordan and Jason are excellent professionals who helped me with everything. Sian is a spectacular and patient person. Additionally, the rooms are great, and you feel very safe staying here. The food is wonderful; I'll continue to eat well with the recipes I learned to make here.
