VEGAN RETREAT COOKS

Given that we are a meditation center that specialises in promoting mental an physical well being, we acknowledge the importance of good nutrition and a balanced daily life as a way to increase our inner wellbeing.

As part of our curriculum, we on a regular basis offer one day and weekend retreats at the center, as a way for participants to deepening their understanding on various Buddhist topics and practices. Occasionally we also organise one week retreats and event days on locations outside of Stockholm. During these times volunteer vegan cooks are therefore most welcome to help prepare delicious food to nourish the body and mind.

If you enjoy cooking, is conscious about the food that we eat and used to making a lot of food imaginatively with little means and who also takes pride in working for others, this is a great opportunity for you. You do not need to have any official training, but should feel comfortable with managing a kitchen and cooking for up to 50 people. Tasks involves planning, cooking and serving food. The ingredients are usually paid for by the center unless sponsored by others.

Please note that this is a volunteer basis offer only, but we gladly offer free access to all of Yeshin Norbu’s courses and events.
