  A Bhakti Yoga center/farm dedicated to establishing harmony between nature, animals and humans. Our main goal is educating people seeking spiritual progress. We know for a fact that money is not the answer to modern problems, rather the lack of higher knowledge is what we are all lacking. We want to offer this unique opportunity to those who realize that material things are not the end of it all, but rather tools on our path to self development. Please join us to grow in your spiritual practice and pick up some practical knowledge as well.
  
  We are a community based on Spiritual values. Our members are vegetarian and dedicated to daily meditation. We do daily readings of the Vedic scriptures. We chant, sing, and play musical instruments daily! Its a very lighthearted and welcoming atmosphere on the farm.
  
  The non-profit owns a 10 acre farm that includes a cow sanctuary, multiple greenhouses, organic veg. gardens, natural pond, mini native tree forest, and orchard. There is a beautiful lake located about 7 minute drive from the farm where we all go swimming.
  
  We would like your help with managing the greenhouses, building cool structures like reciprocal roof, taking care of the cows and nursing native forest.
