Be a Resident Work-Study Volunteer.
Odiyan is a dynamic community of 30 to 40 volunteers who range in age, background, nationalities and commitments. The residents work in service of peace and harmony for all life, through the creation, preservation, and activation of ancient wisdom symbols and teachings.
Our lifestyle is active; both physically and mentally strenuous. It includes a diet of mostly organic vegetarian food, hard work, and cultivating beauty within the Odiyan mandala – and within ourselves.
Join our unique Buddhist sacred art projects, or our organic vegetable gardens. The Work-Study program includes Buddhist classes and practices, mantra, Tibetan yoga and more.
