Stupa Work Week
Open Dates
Shambhala Mountain Center and The Great Stupa of Dharmakaya warmly appreciate you participating in our Volunteer Work Program at the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya from September 15 to September 24, 2017.
These volunteer work gatherings are an incredible opportunity to work in and around the Great Stupa, and to spend time together! Along with uplifting and caring for the stupa and its environment, we will practice, have dharma talks and discussions, and enjoy the peaceful space of the mountains. We will be doing a wide range of projects, including the following: concrete crack repair and painting, fire mitigation, path repair, organizing tools and storage, and more. We look forward to sharing this precious time with you at the Stupa!
Tent Double Housing is provided, along with meals, at no charge. And though there is no charge, please select “pay by check” in the finance box in order to register. You may also choose to upgrade your housing option for the listed fees.
Of course we hope you can attend the whole program, but we know that some of you are not able, so in that case, please indicate your specific arrival and departure dates on the registration. (Please only select dates between September 15 – 24.)
Thank you for volunteering! Your support and care of the Stupa means a lot!
