Opportunities in every programme
Each programme held at Dechen Chöling requires the energy of a team of helpers who actively contribute to its success. Depending on the needs of the retreat, various roles are designated such as coordinator, meditation instructor, interpreter, audio/visual, decorum or other.
Staffing a programme represents a unique opportunity to deepen one’s practice, discover or revisit teachings, while helping to make the dharma available to others.
