CENTRE MANAGER AND TEACHER SUPPORT PERSON (REMUNERATED POSITION) LONG TERM

Dharma Gaia is seeking a mature long term meditation practitioner to join our Guardian Group in a unique position. We are looking for someone who has the capacity to support our teacher to hold the overview of the centre. We imagine this person would be residential and enjoy the powerful experience of being part of the community but this is not a prerequisite as we would consider an offsite person.

  • This person needs to be self motivated, self aware and have experience in holding the bigger picture view.

  • To be comfortable in a strong leadership role. in the zen mode of leading from behind, with humility, clarity and an ease in delegation.

  • Experience in organisation, administration and communications areas are essential.

This is a short overview of our needs. If you or someone you know feels drawn to find out more, please email the office with subject line: ‘Centre Manager position’

MAINTENANance GUARDIAN LONG-TERM VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITy

Positions are sometimes available to enter a longer period on the Mindfulness-Based Volunteer Programme, as our Maintenance Guardian or Office Support Guardians. These are wonderful ways to deepen mindful living and engage more fully with the teachings of Presence, as well as contributing your skills and energy to the community in a deeply fulfilling way - living a life of loving service.

We start with a one to three month commitment - this is a time for the volunteer and the centre to get to know one another and to see whether a longer term arrangement will be mutually beneficial. During this time, the volunteer can begin to learn about the Guardianship role and responsibilities, as well as having time to experience retreats and the rhythm of community life and mindful living.

Please contact us for more information.
