I had a really lovely time volunteering at the Center! The center is located in a beautiful castle surrounded by gorgeous gardens and peaceful countryside. One of my favorite things was going on bike rides around the area, enjoying the nature, and having the chance to join Buddhist the Center sessions. I also met some wonderful people from different parts of the world and enjoyed the simple, peaceful rhythm of life there. It's a great place to slow down, disconnect from the usual rush, and enjoy a different kind of experience. I'd definitely recommend it to other travelers!🤗

I really enjoyed it. I'm very happy that my first volunteering experience here was such a positive one. Everyone staying there was very welcoming. Everything was very well organized, the food was delicious, and the tasks were very simple. There are plenty of opportunities to meet people from different parts of the world, and you can also join the Center sessions. There is a beautiful forest next to the castle, and you can ask to borrow a bicycle and ride around the local countryside. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking to take a break.

My best experience Volunteering! :) The castle and the surroundings are beautiful, and the energy is really special, I made memories for a lifetime. Also you can make short trips with the bikes to the nearby towns :) Its a perfect space to make friends, reconnect with yourself or just rest. The work is light, the staff is great, the accommodation very comfortable, the food really good. And you can make what you wish of the experience, either that is connect with your inner peace, meditating, practicing your French, make new friends or all of them. Highly Recommended experience! <3

My experience at the Center was incredible. I had the chance to meet volunteers from all over the world and share wonderful moments together. The center's welcome was exceptional, and the monks were extremely approachable, always happy to answer questions and share their knowledge of the Center and Buddhism. I 100% recommend it if you're looking to contribute to a meaningful cause, practice languages, and connect with wonderful people

One of my goals was to immerse myself in the French language, and at the center I had the opportunity to connect with very kind people with whom I formed a lovely friendship. I'm grateful for the experience! 🤗

This was a very enriching experience. I learned a great deal about the Center and Buddhism, more importantly, how to apply its teachings in everyday life. I met many kind and inspiring people and had meaningful connections that made my stay worthwhile. I also experienced some inappropriate and unpleasant behavior from some people, which made parts of the experience more challenging. Despite that, I leave grateful for the personal growth, the lessons learned, and the opportunity to cultivate patience, compassion, and inner clarity.

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 :)
