Hiking Trail building-learn how! Buddhist Retreat Center

Save to Favorites

Learn the craft of building world-class hiking trails from an expert trail builder. Note: this is not actually a virtual opportunity, but it was the only way to let people know about the opportunity on Volunteermatch! thank you.
Spend your days outside in the beautiful Chiricahua Mountain foothills in Arizona learning from professional trail builder Joe Gonzales.
Joe brings his 17 years of experience constructing hiking trails around the United States (with the National Park Service at Saguaro National Park, Coronado National Memorial, and the Oregon Pipe Cactus National Monument).
Learn and build hiking trails with an expert guide in the Chiricahua mountains (South Eastern Arizona, USA). This work will be outdoors and very physical in nature. Volunteers must be ready to protect themselves from the natural elements (sun!) and arrive with long pants and sturdy boots or hiking shoes. We provide work gloves.
We have spaces where you can park your RV/Van and camping spaces also (we can provide tents and bedding).
Bathhouses with showers for men/women and a community kitchen to store and prepare food. We provide breakfast food and volunteers are responsible for providing their own food/preparation for other meals. We provide rides to the grocery stores weekly.
We invite you to participate in the numerous activities happening here at the center. Yoga, meditation, Tibetan language instruction, Buddhist philosophy classes, dharma discussions, and excursions for fun!
We will begin each day with a group meeting to go over safety protocol, check-in with each other, and gather tools. We will hit the trail (Pilgrimage Path) by 8 am each day for our 5-hour shifts, 5 days a week (Sun-Thur).
Optional activities include daily guided meditation, weekly yoga classes, and Buddhist teachings weekly. Bring your musical instrument if you have one! Chiricahua Natl. Monument, Ft. Bowie, and Sand Dunes Hot Springs are also nearby for excursions off the land.
While it is not necessary to be Buddhist to serve at Diamond Mountain (we welcome everyone!) we do have several requirements that we ask our volunteers to adhere to:

Protect all life
Protect others’ property
Respect others’ relationships
Speak truthfully
Speak to bring others together
Speak and act kindly
No intoxicants while on the land
Use DM resources (water, power, phones, computers, cooking facilities, offices, housing, etc.) safely and responsibly, and in a courteous, hospitable manner
Keep quiet times respectfully in all DM locations
