  Descrição

  If you would like to help out in our maintenance team, we'd love to hear from you.
  
  Our place is set in 50 acres of beautiful woodland in the Highlands near Inverness & Findhorn. It is a Tibetan Buddhist centre aiming for sustainable, low impact and eco friendly management of the woodlands and hermitage. We have planning permission for several retreat cabins and are currently preparing them for year-round use.
  
  This gives a chance for you to be involved in a pioneering project where you may be involved in helping to in many areas such as building maintenance, homecare, gardening, office support, and much more. In the process you are helping to create something unique and special. If you are good at identifying what jobs need to be done and are self-motivated, then we would love to hear from you.
  
  We live in a simple style, with awareness, respect and kindness as the basic motivation of our project. You will also be welcome to attend meditation practices in the Meditation temple.
  
  The woodland is secluded but not remote. A 15min walk through the woods brings you to the main road where you are connected to public transport and can go to the shops in Inverness, the beach at Findhorn, the Cairngorm National park or still further north and west to the many beautiful Scottish Islands.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Local people also come to help us and volunteer their time. When they do come we work together and share lunch which is fun. If you are interested in Tibetan Buddhism, we have meditation sessions in the Vajrayana tradition. On Saturdays we host our Saturday Meditation Group which is attended by people from the local area (and beyond), with meditation and discussion which you are invited to join.

  Ajuda

  You will enjoy being here if you are independent, able to use your initiative and love being in quiet, secluded natural environment, sharing the joy of creating a special spiritual place for the greater good.
  
  We need help in creating a friendly welcoming environment, with support needed in the shared areas with the housekeeping, cooking, and gardening tasks. If you have office skills, or talents in organisation, this may too be helpful. We may also need help with building tasks, groundwork and clearing woodland. If you have any skills in these areas that would be great.

  Acomodação

  We have some wooden buildings with simple, comfortable rooms, as well as caravans. In the central area there is a shared kitchen, a wood burning stove, a big kitchen/dining table, and a lounge area with sofas where you can relax and socialise.
  
  Food is vegetarian, with only vegetarian (or vegan) food cooked and consumed on site.
  
  There is a beautiful Buddhist temple for meditation and many books in the library, as well as a sunny courtyard, all very peacefully tucked away in the woodland.
  
  There is also a shared toilet and shower block, and we help by taking turns to keep it clean.
