Short and long term opportunities available, from a minimum of 2 weeks ♥

Are you looking for a fun experience whilst also learning a little bit about spirituality and meditation? We are a Buddhist Meditation Centre based in Leicester city centre, England. Our meditation centre teaches people how they can learn to calm their mind through the process of meditation, and through understanding important teachings from the Buddha.

We have 2 meditation rooms, modern en-suite bunk bed dorms accommodating up to 4 people per room, but due to the latest COVID-19 measures we will only be sleeping 2 people per room. We also have a World Peace Cafe, host regular meditation classes, meditation courses, and special events promoting the development of inner peace, compassion and wisdom.

We welcome everybody, Buddhist or non-Buddhist. We are looking for volunteers to help in our World Peace Cafe, cleaning, painting, and office work. There's a mixed age range of residents living here and a thriving community.

The Exchange...

As a working volunteer, you will be asked to work 35 hours per week. Generally, this is based on working Tuesday to Saturday 9.30am-4.30pm with Sunday and Monday Off. In return for your work, we offer;
* Free food (3 standard meals per day)
* Free tea & coffee facilities
* Free accommodation including bedding and towels
* Free laundry facilities
* Free access to all of our meditation classes, teachings, courses and events.

Because we are a Buddhist community we ask that you observe some basic Buddhist rules whilst staying at our centre. These are;
* No Lying
* No Killing
* No Stealing
* No Intoxicants (Alcohol, drugs, smoking, vaping)
* No Sexual Misconduct

We do require a reference; however, we can accept a recommendation from a previous HelpStay or help-x host if they have posted a review on your profile. Please mention this in your application if this applies.
