Help us upgrade the KamalaSHila Garden

Saturday and Sunday 12-13 July
 
We are inviting volunteers to join us in the redevelopment of the main garden at Kamalashila Tibetan Buddhist Centre at Tilba. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend time in nature, contribute to a meaningful project, and help create a beautiful, peaceful space for all to come and enjoy.
 
Whether you’re an experienced gardener or simply enjoy being outdoors with your hands in the soil, we’d love to have you involved. Even a few hours can make a real difference.
The redevelopment will take place in various stages, before our larger Karma Yoga Retreat which is in early August.
Accommodation and meals will be provided.
 
If you’re interested in lending a hand, please send an email to [email protected] and let us know what days you can help and if you wish to stay overnight. 

If you are unable to participate physically, there is always the opportunity to sponsor sangha meals or make an offering for materials being used. You can do this at https://www.drogmi.org/support-us.html
