I had a great Tim in the Center. I was working as housekeeper and the work looks that will never end but with more people helping we managed to keep the space organized. The hardest days were doing the tidy up, starting from breakfast until 7pm cleaning the kitchen. Richard, Desmond and Lobsang are grand and welcomed me very well. The center is quite isolated but with the bikes they borrow there I could cycle all around the countryside and even went to northern Ireland. Hitchhike was very easy too so I don't see the isolation as a problem. I really recommend you to volunteer in JL. Thanks!

This place is absolutely the opposite from the other volunteering placements which I experienced through Worldpackers.
Friendly, fair, respectful.

A wonderful experience! It has allowed me to connect with people, with nature, and with myself. The people who run the center are extraordinary and willing to help us at every turn. I had experiences I'll never forget with people I'll never forget. The surroundings are magical - lakes, trails, enormous trees—they make you feel small. The food is healthy, tasty, and abundant. I am grateful for everything I have experienced at the Center. I wish much love to everyone who lives there. I found what I was looking for: Myself.

I had an incredible time volunteering at the Center. The peacefulness at the Center is unlike anything else I've experienced. This stay is a great opportunity for people looking to escape the busy-ness of life, connect with other international volunteers, learn about Buddhism (if you want), and eat some amazing food!! Thank you everyone at the Center for making me feel at home 💛

I left the Center, a lot of memories I brought from it, from each person I met, from each experience I lived. These memories will be saved into my mind, and will help me in many moments through my life; but, since my first step in this place I could perceive some vibes which have reached my Soul during this time. That which can touch my Soul will stay forever, maybe, sometimes in the future, I won't be conscious of that Soul level. Whatever. In the depths of my sea I will be able to find this enviroment, and I will give thanks to the place of lovely kindness.

My stay at the Center Long was wonderful and just what i needed! Cooking for everyone was lovely and it was fun to experiment with new recipes. Everyone was really welcoming and there's lots of things to do if you enjoy quiet time by yourself. However, if you are looking for a social immersion, this might not be the place for you. I would always come back, thank you for having me (:

I highly recommend it. It's a charming place, the organizers are empathetic and flexible; volunteers' preferences are taken into account when choosing days off, and I think everything can be communicated easily. People here are wonderful, both the volunteers and the people who come to meditate, and also the guests. The schedules, in my opinion, are quite good, and the housekeeping work is clear and straightforward; some days are busier than others due to certain events. Personally I am very grateful; it has been a home for me, and I have also greatly improved in meditation.
