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.

I had a stunning experience here. The team was super lovely and takes care of you. It can be sociable but also you can have alot of quite time if you wish. The work was very well organised and they let you work in any area you wish to. You learn alot about Buddhism and the Center. 🌸 I would love to go back! Highly recommend.
