VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are an essential part of our ongoing restoration project. By volunteering, you can help Alfoxton Park thrive.
All of our volunteers become temporary community members, and join our meditations and regular programme of activities, including weekly dharma discussion groups and community night.
Accommodation varies depending on the season. We have a dormitory space, and in warmer months volunteers are also able to camp on the land.
We particularly welcome members of the Triratna community, and those with the skills we require for the ongoing restoration work and management of the retreat centre. This includes:
Building and Maintenance / DIY
Carpentry
Gardening
Cooking (particularly during retreat season)
Administration, marketing, website/graphic design social media
We ask that volunteers come for two weeks, without external responsibilities that would make it difficult to integrate wholeheartedly within the community.
Interested? Contact us via Workaway or click the link below to email us and tell us a little about yourself, what draws you to volunteering here and what you would like to contribute.
