Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre

Volunteering at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre (Manjushri KMC) offers an opportunity to experience first-hand the Buddhist way of life within a vibrant, international community.

There are many ways in which you can help. For example, serving in the cafe, helping to prepare guest rooms, cooking, gardening or joining a renovation project for the building.

We are located just south of the English Lake District, situated in 70 acres of woodland and gardens, on the shores of Morecambe Bay. Take this opportunity to be part of a diverse international community of Buddhist practitioners and volunteers, make lasting connections, and enjoy a meaningful break.

Typically you will volunteer Monday to Friday but depending on the activity, it may also include weekends. Whilst these activities are not always strenuous you will need to be reasonably fit and active to come on a volunteering visit.

You will have two days free each week when you can explore the Lakes, or just relax in the friendly atmosphere of the Centre. As a volunteering visitor you are welcome to take part in many of the spiritual activities at Manjushri Centre such as evening classes and weekend courses.

It's a place I'm sure I'll return to. It has been my first volunteering experience and it has exceeded my expectations. Both my manager, Nadia, and all the people who make up the center are very warm, and if you need anything, they will help you. Additionally, the site is truly spectacular; if you like nature, it's a beautiful place to visit. I really recommend this experience.

Simply beautiful ! I highly recommend this experience if you’re open to connecting with new people and learning from them. The tasks, break hours and days off are respected 100%. I was in art studio and household and honestly this last one was my favorite experience!… There isn’t anyone more incredible than the people here who make the working hours feel short and bearable. Thank you very much, the project, you are in my heart and I am sure I will return ❤️

My experience at the project was really lovely. I worked at the café and loved the energy of the place. I felt comfortable and welcomed from the beginning, and I really appreciated the kindness and respect of the managers. The hospitality I received made me feel part of the community. I also valued the opportunity to meet people from different places and, especially, to deepen my understanding of Buddhist philosophy. I'm leaving with beautiful memories and a very meaningful experience.
