Descripción
We are a Buddhist community and charity based in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. We have beautiful gardens and are surrounded by longer hikes through the national park and surrounds. The environment is very beautiful, tranquil and restful and is perfect for meditation and contemplation.
The help required varies from cooking, gardening, maintenance, cleaning and helping with accommodation. We also have various projects that you could get involved in at particular times. On occasion, we may ask you to be flexible and volunteer on one of the days on the weekend.
If you have particular skills we would love to know. Although the work is not always strenuous you will need to be reasonably fit and active to come on a volunteering visit.
In your free time, there are many ways to relax including enjoying the grounds and local tourist sites. You can go for long bush walks in the Dandenong Ranges.
As a volunteer, you are welcome to join any of the evening or weekend meditation classes running.
You are welcome to join us for the daily prayers we hold in our meditation room.
What we have to offer is varied and provides a perfect opportunity to experience the warm and friendly Buddhist way of life first hand.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

It was our first time doing Workaway, and we were a bit nervous. But the people there were really friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home.
The amount of work each day was just right, so we never felt too stressed. In our free time, we did yoga with friends and enjoyed being… read more

Un accueil chaleureux, de la douceur et gentillesse constante. Le travail satisfaisant car toujours dans la bonne humeur, guidée par Sam qui a pris le temps, voir beaucoup de temps à m'expliquer les choses, car j'ai un niveau d'anglais plutôt bas.

I must say the comfort and variety of tasks makes you loose the calendar count. The serenity of the surroundings only amplifies the feeling of being out of time. It's like "what's the day today?" "idk, but here's something to fixday"
