Algo más...
Sheffield is one of the largest cities in the north of England, and also about 15 minutes by bus from the Peak District, a national park which offers opportunities for walking, cycling and climbing. The Meditation Centre is opposite a large park and is near organic health food shops, cafes and bistros. Flights to Manchester and London are often the cheapest and from those cities you can get a cheap bus to Sheffield (megabus or National Express) or advance rail ticket.

She is a very friendly person who welcomed me and asked if I was okay with doing the tasks.
Despite only staying 1 week, I was able to learn a little about Buddhism and the practice of meditation.
Dragden is just adorable and made me feel comfortable as soon as I got there. She always made sure I liked what I was doing, I felt free to do anything. I really felt like I was part of this little community and this is priceless.
Thank you so much for this experience

Everyone in the centre was lovely from the monks and nuns to the other volunteers.
The centre is beautiful and tranquil, set in the countryside.
Managed to get to some meditations and lessons.
I enjoyed working in the kitchen and producing food for residents.
I hope to go back... it was that good!
Thank you, Mariea.
She was willing and quick to learn.
Overall a very good experiance and we would reecomend her to any future hosts.
We enjoyed the Christmas period together as we didn't have much work to do as we close to the public for a short period of time.
We would reccomend her to any workaway hosts.
Thank you Tam <3

I have been volunteering in the Buddhist Meditation Center of Sheffield for a short period of time this spring. It was my first workaway experience, so at the beginning I was a little nervous. As soon as I entered the building all nervosity and post travel stress faded.… read more

He was the politest person you could meet.
He was very happy doing whatever job he was asked to do spending many hours in our B&B and never complained.
It was such a pleasure to meet a humble, good hearted young man, We hope we can welcome him back in the future.

Highly recommend it

He stayed with us for 1 month. He worked very hard during that time and was happy to give anything a go.
He followed instructions but also used his own initiative when needed.
I would definitely recommend Mauro! :)
