Volunteers Retreat at Sudarshanaloka
Merge your practical skills with your spiritual path.
Your generosity means we thrive. Join us living and working in the bush, hills and rivers of the beautiful Coromandel peninsula. Spiritual community at work.
From 31 October - 9 November the Sudarshanaloka community will be working on various projects on the land that will be of much benefit to retreatants, visitors and residents.
Sangha and friends will be joining us for a variety of tasks and general maintenance. Some will stay for the full retreat and others will come and go depending on their availability.
Apart from working on the land 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.
There is no charge for accommodation during this retreat. However, a contribution of dana/ koha for food is requested.
PLEASE NOTE IF BOOKINGS ARE CLOSED GET IN TOUCH AS WE STILL MAY BE ABLE TO FIT YOU IN.
