Join us as a flexible, short-term volunteer to support daily tasks and special projects around our beautiful château grounds. Help with meal prep, cleaning, household chores, and more, while enjoying evening teachings, meditations, and a warm, welcoming community. Bring your energy, goodwill, and open mind to make a meaningful contribution and enrich your spiritual journey!
We need help 5 days/week, 5 hours/day, with lots of ways to share your skills!
We offer picks up at Ecommoy's train station (10kms away) between Le Mans and Tours.
Before your stay, we’ll have a short video call and ask you to complete a volunteer form to help organize your visit. You don’t need to be a Buddhist to join us, but you’ll live within a mindful, respectful community of modern Buddhist practitioners. This includes avoiding harmful behaviors, noise disturbances, and alcohol or illegal substances. All volunteers sign a simple commitment to support a calm and welcoming environment, creating a meaningful and enriching experience for yourself and everyone at the centre.
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 :)
