Descripción
We are based in a beautiful Georgian mansion set in a tranquil 42 acres of natural parkland. The centre is a peaceful retreat where you can help out with other volunteers and learn more about the place, Buddhism and meditation. We are a charity and open to the public 7 days a week and require help to run the centre for visitors. We offer a varied range of volunteer opportunities to engage with the public or help behind the scenes with maintaining the daily running of the grounds and buildings.

Volunteers are from all over the world - have the chance to meet many new people and make lasting friendships! Also you will have the opportunity to learn about Buddhism and meditation and how to keep a peaceful mind.
We are based near York which is a top UK tourist destination with lots of culture and history.
We welcomes people from all walks of life, you don't need to be a Buddhist to come.

Tasks are many and varied depending on your skills and interests, and what's needed in the centre at the time, such as building and maintenance, gardens, household, decorating, etc.
In exchange for 25 hours help you get dorm accommodation for seven nights, with all meals and laundry included. We ask for a minimum commitment of two weeks, which can be extended if there is space available.
The daily schedule consists of five hours help and includes tea breaks and lunch breaks. Volunteers can attend free meditation classes during their stay. It's ideal if you can arrive on a Sunday to begin volunteering on the Monday.

I volunteered in December 2022, my experience was incredible. The work is easy and the food is delicious, the people are welcoming and the meditation classes are excellent. I spent Christmas there and it was my best choice, I felt at home. I'm so grateful for the experience and opportunity.

She engaged in every work commitment with great enthusiasm, always willing and able for any task and was so keen to take part in all aspects of our life. She fitted in with all in the Center and we spent wonderful moments with her and the rest of the volunteers.

Even though there was a change in staff (due to a summer festival on the 27th Jul), and things seemed a bit chaotic at first -- that's the only reason I'm giving 4/5 stars; Phil and Monica took very good care of the situation. The workaways were also very friendly and welcoming, I just hope I would have been there at a different date!

The centre is an amazingly peaceful place and I am really grateful for the time I spent here. I really enjoyed the meditation and retreat sessions and learnt a lot while I was there. The work in the cafe was fun and I enjoyed being the carpenter for a while ;) Thank you to everyone, you are all wonderful!

i spent a week here (17-23.11.2013) and was very pleased with the whole experience and perhaps one day plan to come back again! the work around the place was greatly relaxing and the people there very nice down to earth types which made the topic of buddhism very easily approachable. thank you for a great week, every single one of you guys :)

The site is incredibly nice, surrounded by fields and sheep. The vegetarian food was really great. The best was to choose the work to be done. Thanks to that I worked many days in coffee center and now I know how prepare cappuccinos. It was also a very good opportunity to learn Buddhism and meditation classes to attend. I recommend to anyone… read more
