Do you wish to further your involvement in your Dharma community?

Volunteering is a great way to develop long-term relationships with the community and the organization. It can promote a sense of belonging, and it’s an opportunity to practice generosity. It can also be a way to learn about the inner workings of our activities and develop new skills. In general, we organize volunteers in teams so you can connect, share tasks, and support each other.

Prison Meditation Program

Since 2011, the Meditation in Prison program has offered a supportive, secular space at the Federal Training Centre in Laval, Quebec, where incarcerated individuals can cultivate mindfulness, inner peace, and personal growth. Supported by Correctional Services Canada's Chaplaincy Services, we meet twice a month, every other Wednesday evening, for guided meditation, short talks, and open discussions that nurture self-reflection and emotional well-being.

If you are interested in joining our volunteer team or facilitating sessions as an experienced practitioner, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Here is a personal testimonial written by a volunteer who has been with the program since it began.
