Leaf Seva Days!
Every Autumn we gather thousands of leaves for our composting systems and we would LOVE your help!
We are an off-grid ashram, living sustainably. This is the best environment for peace and introspection, aiding in our goal to attain our natural state as human beings: living in complete harmony with nature!
One of the most satisfying experiences is to work alongside one another and produce that which is needed!
Join us to gather leaves, stop midday to gather around the Dhuni fire, drink cider, share delicious meals (complete with pies and vegan treats) and share in the joy of connecting with what it means to be part of the greater whole!
Bring a rake and work gloves. Come for part of a day, whole day, or the weekend! Thank you!
(This is the ideal event for anyone seeking work exchange opportunities to attend festivals and other other events!)
Wood Seva Day!
Join us on October 7-8 for Wood Seva as we prepare our woodsheds for winter at the Ashram. Join us on either day or both and volunteer some community service for a great cause!
Volunteering at the Ashram is fun for everyone! Experience the joy of giving back this season.
