Volunteers retreat at Sudarshanaloka
Kia ora friends,
Our Volunteers Retreat is an opportunity to contribute to the maintenance of our beautiful land and experience the spirit of communal work as well as communal practice.
From Friday 4th to Sunday 13th of April, the Sudarshanaloka community invites you to support various projects that will be of much benefit to retreatants, visitors and residents, and to the future of this beautiful vision!
Work includes:
Wood splitting
Weeding
Track clearing
General maintenance of the land
Housekeeping
Building maintenance
We'll also be meditating together in the mornings and coming together in the evenings for rituals or practice in the shrine room. We'll be living and working together as a community, including sharing meals and deepening our spiritual friendships with one another along the way.
Some will stay for the full retreat and others will come and go depending on their availability.
On the 'Volunteers retreat" you can come and go as you like - stay for half a day or the full week. There is no charge for accommodation during this retreat. However, a contribution of dana/ koha for food will be very much appreciated!
