Here’s what we need help with:
During August – before the seminar, we are spring cleaning, decorating, gardening, building and organising – really bringing it together for Rinpoche and everyone visiting.The days prior and following the seminar – we will be setting up and breaking down, which is an exciting time! We will be shopping for the seminar, preparing the rooms, cooking, cleaning, setting up the rooms, preparing the shrine, ritual preparations, gardening and land work to really give the centre that extra sparkle!
During the seminar – we would love your help with managing and organising the day to day running of the event and, those who would be happy undertake work retreat to offset costs.
Being a part of the core team at any point is a real blessing.
