Course
Manager
Being a course manager
is very rewarding but can also be quite demanding.
Please consider fully the implications before applying.
The benefits of offering this type of service are
manifold! You get to attend the teachings at half off
the dormitory rate. You may have more contact with the
teacher and with the community. You get to have a sense
of what it’s like to work in a dharma community. You
meet a great variety of people. You help other people
hear and learn the dharma, and last but certainly not
least, you get to offer service to a dharma center,
which is unbelievable merit!

What does being a
Course Manager involve?
You are basically in
charge of making sure the retreat runs smoothly. You
will be working closely with the Office Manager and the
Spiritual Program Coordinator.
·
You will be required to come before lunch on the
first day of the course for a briefing and orientation
before the rest of the retreaters arrive. You will also
have to stay two hours after the course ends to oversee
the final clean-up.
·
You will be the main point person for retreaters.
You will answer questions, solve problems and so on.
Staff will be able to assist in any situation
that you cannot.
·
You will be the main point person for any Staff
who needs to communicate with the retreaters. You will
make all announcements, etc.
·
During course registration you will establish the
Karma Yogi Job Rota and brief retreatants about their
tasks. Throughout the retreat you will also keep an eye
out that those jobs are carried out in a timely and
orderly fashion, pitching in wherever help is needed.
·
You will be an assistant to the Spiritual Program
Coordinator, setting up the gompa and preparing for any
special events.
What are the
qualities required?
We are looking for
reliable, friendly, dedicated people who have a strong
sense of service. You will be required to do all kinds
of unexpected tasks so resilience and flexibility are
key.
