    Description

    LIving in a rustic house in the country side near Como lake.
    I am a Theravada Buddhist monk.

    We realized, with the support of many, a little meditation center where people can come to practice, listen to the dhamma, do yoga, walk in the nature contemplate and meditate.
    Sometimes we old meditation retreats in summertime.
    When it happen help is needed in cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes plus assist meditators and partecipate to practices.
    When there are not retreats, help with gardening, like cutting the grass, prune the trees and general maintenance.
    Sometimes wooden buildings and/or painting wood or iron fences.
    We are looking for quiet people that HAVE ALREADY SOME EXPERIENCE in gardening and house maintenance.
    And that is already familiar with meditation retreats atmosfear.

    Furthermore I can't host lone women as I am a Buddhist monk, but they are welcome if somebody else is present in the structure.
