Volunteering at Buddhist Centre

O tempo que eu passei no centro budista foi muito bom, eu realmente aprendi muito com as pessoas com quem trabalhei. Gostei principalmente de trabalhar no café, acho que é o lugar que mais temos interações, para melhorar o inglês. Pude me conectar com outros voluntários de outros países que estiveram lá também.

Thanks you for all your hard work - we would normally have more meditation sessions and classes available to our volunteers but when you visited we had two ongoing retreats which left less time and space for public classes. Our retreats finish mid February and you are welcome to come and visit us again, we appreciate your work and time. Sending you love and blessings for your future adventures. :)

Durante minha estadia, pude aprimorar meu inglês, principalmente quando estava trabalhando no café, pois havia o contato com os clientes. Os anfitriões são muito gentis e adoráveis, sempre preocupados com nosso bem estar. Pude conhecer uma cultura (vegetariana e vegana), que me surpreendeu de forma positiva. O ambiente calmo e silencioso contribuiu muito para reflexões não tão fáceis no ambiente que atuo. As conexões que pude fazer, acrescentaram muito no modo no qual penso sobre a vida.

O centro de meditação é bonito, o quarto que fiquei também era bom. Porém achei o trabalho extremamente exaustivo. Limpei dezenas de quartos por 6h parando só pra almoço. A moça que fiscalizava a limpeza tinha uma fissura por espelhos, de modo que por mais que eu limpasse e esfregasse parecia nunca estar suficiente. No final das 6h eu estava tão exausta que não conseguia fazer nada. Eram muitas escadas com aspirador de pó e tal. Fiquei só 3 dias porque não vi sentido em só comer e trabalhar, pois não tinha forças pra andar 45 min pra cidade mais próxima e depois andar mais 45 minutos de volta.

My experience at the Center was really good. Sam and Donna were so great and welcoming. The place is beautiful and the nature is everywhere. I worked at the cafe and sometime in the kitchen, the work hours are as described. Overall, I had good a peaceful time at the Center and i definitely recommended.

This was a lovely volunteering experience — beautiful grounds, friendly volunteers, varied opportunities, and kind supervisors. For arrival by bus/on foot: I suggest asking about the underground passage that makes crossing of the highway between bus stop and the Center safer. In the café, shifts can feel busy with shorter breaks, so be ready for a solid workday. That said, the supportive team and welcoming atmosphere made it really enjoyable, and the café became one of my favorite areas to volunteer. Thank you the Center!! ✨️ They're also opening a new meditation hall on the grounds, which is exciting!

Volunteering at this the Center was truly one of the BEST experiences of my life. From the very first day, I felt a deep sense of peace - not only in the beautiful surroundings but even during my working hours as a volunteer. I learned so much about Buddhism and discovered how to connect with my self through meditation. Working in the Kitchen and the café also taught me many news things, and I really enjoyed being part of the team. I had the chance to meet and talk with people from all over world, All of them kind, respectful, and genuinely friendly. ❤️❤️❤️

I had an amazing time at the Center. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt so peaceful. I helped in the café and loved learning more about latte art. I also learned a lot about Buddhism and enjoyed the meditations classes. I also shared unforgettable moments with the staff and volunteers from all over the world between games, deep conversations, and lots of laughter. Truly an incredible experience!

My time at the Center was wonderful for getting to learn about New the Center teachings and practices. I was always surrounded by open-minded people with lots of love in their hearts. Working in the cafe was always fun, and lots of laughs were shared. Keep in mind that you do have to uber or bus into town, so this is a great experience for those looking to disconnect and/or connect more deeply with themselves. This was a truly enriching experience, both socially and spiritually. I felt that 2 weeks here wasn't enough, and I would love to return some day!

The stay at the TKIRC was amazing. The reviews aren't lying. They are super super nice, welcoming and open-minded. I can 100% recommend them to a volunteer. I did chores like grounds, gardening and working in the kitchen. I am coeliac which means I have to eat gluten free and they found a great solution with me for that. I'm very grateful for the time.
