Tent Volunteer Weekend

Tent Volunteer Weekend Karme Choling Vermont

Over the course of the weekend, volunteers work side by side with staff to care for and prepare our campsite, ensuring it is a welcoming and peaceful environment for the families and participants who visit. The tasks vary but often include tidying up the grounds, deep-cleaning and setting up the tents, and furnishing them with bedding and other essentials. Each activity is approached with mindfulness, transforming what might seem like simple chores into an opportunity for presence and connection.

To support this work, the weekend is structured with a balance of effort and stillness. Twice daily, volunteers gather for formal meditation sittings and chants, reinforcing the contemplative foundation of the retreat center. These moments of quiet provide a chance to settle the mind, reflect, and appreciate the shared purpose of the community.

Beyond the structured activities, the weekend offers ample opportunity for meaningful conversations and organic connections. Whether it’s sharing stories over a good meal, enjoying a quiet moment in nature, or working together in the fresh air, volunteers naturally build friendships and experience the unique, vividly awake energy of Karmê Chöling.

For those looking to immerse themselves in the center’s atmosphere without a significant financial commitment, these weekends provide a wonderful opportunity to contribute, learn, and experience the heart of the community. Whether you are new to Karmê Chöling or a returning guest, volunteering offers a fulfilling and enriching way to engage with this special place.

Basic accommodations and meals are FREE for the weekend. Private rooms are available at an additional fee. Contact info@karmecholing.org to request a private room.
