Uplifting Dorje Denma Ling — June Volunteering

Flexible Dates

[June 15 – June 29] Short Term Volunteers in June

This sign up if for short term volunteers — from a day to two weeks. If you want to volunteer longer than two weeks, please fill out the volunteer application form and we will contact you.

Dear Sangha,

Programs and Community are in full swing here at Dorje Denma Ling and we are about to move into the summer. We are hosting Anam Thubten Rinpoche for a five day residential retreat and there’s a lot to do over the next few weeks to prepare for the largest event on the land in over a decade!

The Spring Setup week was a great success and it’s time to gather again. All willing workers are welcome — there’s more than enough to do, and jobs available that will suit all talents and skills.

Some volunteering possibilities:

Garden
Kitchen
Pavillion Setup
Construction
Cleaning
Painting
Mowing
Weeding
Planting

We host volunteer workers for free, feed them well, and give them 1 day of program fee credit for one day of volunteer work. You are also invited to join in our community practice times from 9 – 10 am & 5:30 – 6:30 pm.

One evening will likely involve a campfire depending on the weather. We could fit in a good movie too!

Everyone is welcome to come from the city to enjoy some time in nature with a vast number of deer, as well as a few humans. Many hands make light work — plus, you are guaranteed to have some fun. But do register please, so we can make sure we have a cozy bed and plenty of delicious food ready for you.

To register:

  1. Choose the dates of your stay on the “Check In” and “Check Out” calendars.
  2. When you select your lodging type, you will have the opportunity to specify how many people are in your party.
  3. When traveling with others, a place to specify the their names and emails will appear after you choose the lodging type.
    Be sure to enter requested information for the people in your family or group.
