At Sunyata Buddhist Centre, we appreciate any help towards the day-to-day running of the centre.

There are many ways to give your support to Sunyata:

• We have a number of opportunities for long term residents at Sunyata.
  During the winter period we’re hoping to have a team of around 4 long term residents to help support the monastic presence and running of the centre.
  Minimum commitments of around a month would work well, but longer would be better. There may be the opportunity for a resident to extend their stay into the spring and summer if things go well.
  Specifically, we’re looking for someone confident in taking on the kitchen coordinator role, taking care and managing the Sunyata kitchen.
  Previous experience staying at other Ajahn Chah monasteries or Sunyata would be helpful.
  Please get in contact with the Centre Manager if you would like any more information – SunyataBuddhistCentre@gmail.com
