Working in the café was an amazing experience. The people around you are always helpful, friendly and understanding even in the most stressful situations. The residents also were always open to talk to you and to answer questions about Dharma or anything Eternally grateful for the people who made of this experience the most eventful I've ever had A warm and big hug to everybody

Like the information offered, you are likely to be allocated to different department as you signed up. But supervisors are all nice person and very flexible if you have special requests. I had a great exprience there concerning friends, opportunities to Buddhism teaching and closeness to nature. It was a so fantastic journey that I would absolutely consider going back!! Love the community of magic.

My first experience began with the best experience I could have. Everything is very organized and the tasks are easy to complete. There are many volunteers working in different areas of the temple, so it's great to practice new languages, cultures and knowledge. I recommend it to anyone who is starting out, or not.

Loved my stay at the project! I worked in the art-studio and it was clear that they are used to both introducing and working alongside new volunteers (they made us go through a safety protocol and watch an instruction video before getting started). The other volunteers were also really inviting and helpful! The food was very tasty, I'm not a vegetarian but found this to be a good way of getting to try new dishes and I will definitely try to replicate some of them at home! Overall I had an amazing experience! I would also recommend trying to attend some of the free 15min meditations! :)

My time at the project kmc was great! I worked in the art studio and it was so cool to be part of the creation of these meaningful statues that will be sent all over the world. The instructors and other volunteers were so helpful and really caring and kind, I miss them a lot! They have extra jackets and jumpers to use as working clothes but bring a good pair of working pants, they will get dirty! My volunteering experience was well organized and well structured, the vegetarian food was amazing and have made friends for life! I will definitely come back :))
