ASHRAM LIVING

July 2 - August 20, 2023

(Also known as The Yoga Program or The Seva Program)

​
 

Come alive in sacred community for 2 to 49 days in an inspiring off-grid location.  Spend your days surrounded by forest, mountains, wildlife, and like-hearted beings.  Immerse yourself in a spiritually oriented lifestyle and deepen your practice & spiritual understanding in our Ashram Living Program. 
 

This program provides the opportunity to retreat away from the busyness and distractions of the world.  Going offline, immersing oneself in an integrated spiritual life, in an AFFORDABLE way, is a retreat in its truest and original meaning.  There will be no fancy umbrella drinks or poolside service.  

 

Live in the ashram community practicing yoga, meditation, kirtan, devotional dance, spiritual lectures, satsang, and practice selfless service (seva) during your stay. This program provides you with a framework for the integration of work and spirit, as a practice essentially leading you to love in action.

​

This year the Ashram is extending its fundraising initiative to this Program; we are running entirely off of Sevakas (Volunteers), helping to raise funds to pay for Ashram expenses for the 2023 year, as well as renovation and improvement projects.​​
