    New Kitchen Steward Position – Starting September 2019

    If you are interested in serving as a Kitchen Steward at Birken, please read our general Steward guidelines and the Kitchen Steward job description at our Resident Stewardships page. To apply, please click the “Apply Now” button at the bottom of that page or email meditate@birken.ca.

    If you have not been to Birken before, you will be invited for a two-week trial visit at the beginning of your steward service to assess mutual suitability. We also ask that all candidates read through our GUEST GUIDELINES to get a sense of daily community life here at the monastery, before applying. Long term stays are subject to a probationary period and require periodic approvals by the Abbot as well as the other members of the resident community.

    Please don’t hesitate to email us if you have any questions!
