Details
Description
We are an international Buddhist center, with guests from around the world, who are interested in Tibetan Buddhism and spiritual practice.
Since 2004 we are renovating an old farmhouse in Upper Austria, situated in the picturous region of the Salzkammergut, amidst mountains, lakes and woods.
Kindness, loving care, respect, awareness, and meditation in action are the basic motivations of our project.
We are looking for people who have the same joy for helping and caring for our place as we have and who are not simply looking for "food and shelter", but who want to become part of our team during their stay.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Here you can learn very much, on many different levels:
Personal growth: Being in an environment of spiritual practice can teach you a lot about how to deal with your emotions, thoughts, and challenges that come from living and working together with others.
Buddhist practice: If you are interested you can join our daily group meditation and the weekend teachings and seminars on Buddhist philosophy by authentic Tibetian Lamas. We have found that to be very helpful to understand how the place works, and the ethics and motivation of the place.
Skills: We are a team of people with many skills and talents that you can learn from (carpeting, gardening, farming, construction works..)
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We need help with the many things that come with a big house.
We are currently looking for people:
with garden experience (cutting, weeding, planting, watering.)
with passion and talent for cleaning, and housekeeping.
with experience in construction, building, handcraft, and carpentry.
who have experience in product photography, Shopify, MailChimp, or Zapier.
- Handy people- always welcome!

Accommodation
In a simple but cozy dormitory space. Cool in summer and warm in winter. We can provide bedding and towels.
What else ...
As we are all volunteers here (also those who run the place full time), we are trying to let everyone who wishes to become part of our larger team, while maintaining a balance between the workaway structure and our rhythm and needs.
This is why we offer the workaway agreement for 2 weeks max, if you wish to stay longer (up to 3 months) please let us know in your message.
After completing two weeks as a workaway, you can extend your stay under the 'volunteer' agreement, which entails different terms.
Please only apply to volunteer with us up to 2 months before your estimated arrival date.
ARRIVAL:
After settling in on your arrival day you would help out for 5 days, followed by two days off (the exact timing might vary)
For your free days, you can either:
Stay and visit our seminars for free- if they fit you
(if you stay in the center on your rest days we would kindly ask for help with dishes)
or
Travel and see the surroundings (Gmunden, go hiking in the lake district, Salzburg).

We had a wonderful time here. Felt at home from the first day. We planned to stay for 10 days and ended up staying for 2 months. Everyone was so respectful, friendly, warmhearted, kind and loving. The building and surroundings are beautiful. Our family became part of a larger family and the kids had many sisters and brothers while we were there.… read more

We loved having Dexter with us, especially because he did a very special thing: He took the experience and made it his own. He took the teachings and all we have to offer to heart and it was a pleasure to see his engagement at our place. He is more than welcome back anytime. A great helper with sharp mind and kind heart.

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to spend 5 weeks at this Buddhist Center. Within a couple of days I forgot I was a workaway and felt like a member of the community.
I couldn't write enough words to describe just how amazing this place an everyone in it is.
There's no doubt I'll return again one day.
