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.

Amazing experience at the Center. I was helping at the kitchen, everything is really well organized and all the staff are kind and funny. If you don't speak French it's a good place to learn a little. It's good to know that depending on what area you're working, the hours of work are divided throughout the day, which wasn't a problem for me. Really recommend it.

This was my first time volunteering with workdpackers and I really loved the experience! It was truly amazing and couldn't have chosen better. Everyone was so kind and open, good food, good conversations and good amount of tasks to do during the day. I met lovely and kind people here that will stick in my mind forever, besides living right in the forest was a beautiful experience. Would definitely recommend and would repeat the experience in this or another the Center! Thank you for everything <3

My experience on the Center could not be better. The place and people I met there were amazing. The tasks were well explained, the hours of work and days off were as described on WorldPackers. The team is really good to work with, and it is a perfect place to connect with people from all over the world. The place and meditations are also great to learn about the Buddhist Philosophy.

My experience was wonderful at this place. I met beautiful people who were volunteers as well as all the people who are in the community. You can practice your mindfulness with the Center breaks given by the monks and can increase your spritiual awareness, if you feel like to do so. I felt supported by the team always and instructions were clear. I'm pleased to had to be part of this community. Thank you 🙏🏻

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 :)
