KIOO RETREAT CENTER
Volunteer Program
01 APRIL - 30 JUNE 2023 VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
Volunteer Program is a program prepared for you to live a life of seclusion at Kioo Retreat Center.
Volunteers who will take part in Kioo Retreat Center by adopting a Sattvik lifestyle are required to participate in the practices determined for them every day. However, volunteers; They are obliged to fulfill the duties assigned to them as part of their practice every day to assist the operation of the Retreat Center. These duties are divided into various titles such as working in the laundry, helping with the kitchen arrangement, taking part in the cafe area, house keeping support, helping with office work. The purpose of this program; is to ensure that the practices of the volunteers progress with the support of retreats and to support them to transfer their practices to life by making them a part of a process. How we do a job is a reflection of what attitude we have towards life. Practice reveals its true value when we bring the things we work on to life. This program, which was created with this awareness, has taken this as its mission. Since the volunteer team at Kioo Retreat Center will change every 3 months, practical programs are specially planned to cover a 3-month process. Volunteers will be able to participate in this program with the condition of staying exactly 3 months. Accommodation and meal fees of the people participating in the volunteer program will be covered by our center during these 3 months.
