Hi,
I don't know where you live or how far you want to travel, but I just returned from a meditation retreat where I picked up a card for a "Holiday for Free" in a rural Buddhist community in the UK where the only requirement is for you to do volunteer work for 25 hours, according to your skills or hobbies. They then provide free board and lodgings and apparently you can learn some meditation techniques.
I don't know more details, but the email for inquiries is:
Nagarjuna Buddhist Centre, email:
info@meditation-nagajuna.org
That center is in Northamptonshire, in case you know anything about places in the UK.
