This place will have a special place in my heart. The atmosphere of the Center is amazing, you can see they love the place - the monks are a joy to be around, learn from them, even with the language barrier. The work can be tiring sometimes but mostly when the task in under the sun; they have fans everywhere and air conditioning in the closed rooms which was a must to the resting times. But it's truly rewarding with all the knowledge you get from them. It was an amazing 1st volunteer experience, great to learn about being present and enjoy what you have and the nature we all come from ✨

I've spend 10 amazing days at the Center, the monks, Beam and all the people there were so nice, caring and happy to teach you things about the Center, buddhism, vipassana… The work can be a bit physical because of the heat but it is fine ! The food is good, you can try a lot of new things and the dogs make everything even more great. It was my 1rst volunteering and I would a 100% recommend it !!

My experience and the Center centre was incredibly special. It truely did feel like coming home. Everyone was so incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The jobs were very enjoyable, being out in nature, there own the Center practice themselves. I am very grateful and honoured to have been welcomed into such a sacred space and have learnt so much in my time here. Thank you!!

I had an amazing time at this Buddhist the Center. The people were welcoming, the food was incredible, and they even took us to the beach twice. However, be ready for some demanding manual labor if that's not your thing. Also, if you want to learn more about Buddhism, you need to actively seek information. Overall, a fantastic experience and met some wonderful people!

Thanks for the opportunity ! I feel lucky to have lived along the monks in the center and participate to the chanting and the Center everyday. The place is very peaceful and everyone is nice. Working hours could be quite physical sometimes but it was fun and the work is often different, so you don't get bored. Having a the Center class to understand Vipasanna better would have been nice.
