Buddhafield needs cooks!
come and join us on a meditation retreat

Do you feel confident cooking for between 30 and 40 people? Do you like camping in beautiful woodland? Would you like to come on retreat with Buddhafield? Then we’d love to hear from you!We are looking for people who want to cook at the Buddhafield Total Immersion retreat with Paramananda from 14th - 30th May 2025. The retreat is titled ‘Dwelling in the World’s Soul’. We’re also open to enquires about cooking on other Buddhafield retreats in 2025. You will be given recipes, with quanties already calculated, your travel will be covered and you’ll be supported by our experienced team.By volunteering as a cook with us, you would have the chance to take part in the special magic that is a Buddhafield retreat and support retreatants to immerse themselves in Paramananda’s teaching and the natural beauty of Bowerwood, Buddhafield’s land in North Devon. You’ll get to participate in a fair part of the retreat, cooking dinner and lunch the following day and then having a full day off. There is also the option to cook for one half of the two week retreat and sit the other half an a full retreatant. The bluebells will be out in May and there is also the opportunity to visit the site and familiarise yourself with the kitchen in April at our team gathering (drop in any time between 14th and 20th April). We are looking for cooks who have experience of participating in silent retreats and several years meditation experience. If you are interested, please get in touch with Cait, the retreat organiser at cait.crosse@gmail.com.
