Our non-profit runs retreats and daily Buddhist meditations throughout the year (Kadampa tradition; no yoga or other spiritual practices). Volunteers help keep the centre running and are welcome to join noon meditations and evening teachings in French. During free time or days off, you can hike, explore the woods, read, or simply relax.
Join our housekeeping team and help keep the centre clean, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone! Tasks include cleaning common areas, preparing and tidying bedrooms, maintaining bathrooms, and keeping shared spaces organized. Your work helps create a calm, pleasant environment where volunteers and guests can relax, focus, and enjoy their stay.
We offer pick-up from Ecommoy train station (10 km away, between Le Mans and Tours).
Before your arrival, we’ll arrange a short video call and ask you to complete a volunteer form to help organize your stay.
You don’t need to be a Buddhist, but you’ll live within a mindful community of modern Buddhist practitioners. This includes avoiding harmful behaviors, noise disturbances, and alcohol or illegal substances.
All volunteers are asked to sign a simple commitment to support a safe, calm, and welcoming environment.
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
