Diamond Mountain Buddhist Retreat Center
We are a Beautiful and Magical Buddhist Retreat Center, inspired by the Tradition of Je Tsongkapa. We offer to the World a place for deep spiritual practice to transform from inside out.
We offer meditation, yoga, philosophy teachings and a peaceful and fun place to be.
We want our volunteers to have meaningful life experiences. We offer some tools for a self-improving and self-knowing experience. We work under the principles of Love, Compassion and Wisdom, which is to acknowledge that in life we reap what we plant — therefore, being nice to others should be a priority if we want to live a successful and happy life.

About the experience in: Bowie, United States

A very peaceful and spiritual place - once the home to Apache tribes, their spirits still roam this land.
Be prepared to stay busy, roughly 30 hours a week with working tasks.
The full-time staff are very kind and welcoming, beautiful souls with open hearts.
Just a note, they will invite you to learn and practice Buddhist rituals but you can decline and are not obligated to participate.
Hope this was helpful.
P.S. Be prepared to deal with small wildlife visitors, remember this is unincorporated desert lands, we are guest in their territory.

A minha expectativa era muito grande em participar do meu 1º voluntariado. Me preparei muito e como moro em outro país, este planejamento foi muito bem organizado. Tudo correu como planejado, até que no 1º dia do trabalho voluntário me deparei com um serviço muito puxado para mim e me senti desconfortável, e contatando o Worldpackers e a minha anfitriã , me disponibilizaram um outro trabalho na casa de uma pessoa maravilhosa que tem um projeto maravilhoso . Então foi uma experiência muito gratificante .

Amazing experience! Everyone is so nice and loving. I felt welcomed. The Arizona sky and desert mountains are beautiful. The volunteer housing was great and warm also. Rocío, who took care of the volunteers was so sweet and always making sure we were having fun, planning activities for us :)
Thank you for the experience!

Diamond Mountain is a wonderful opportunity to volunteer, meet international travelers, and learn about Tibetan Buddhism. The guest/volunteer cottages are well-equipped with everything you need and private. There are a variety of outdoor and indoor volunteer tasks like painting, landscaping, and cleaning. The DM team is committed to creating a special environment and practicing the tenets of Buddhism like mindfulness, meditation, and caring for all beings. The center is in a unique and remote location and is a good opportunity to reconnect.
