Introducing the DEVI SANCTUARY KARMA YOGA PROGRAM© by AYURVEDA RITUALS!
You asked, and we listened!
After many requests for Karma Yoga opportunities from members of our community, we are excited to announce the DEVI SANCTUARY KARMA YOGA PROGRAM, a unique suite of customized work-stay and work-train opportunities. Tailored to align with your unique goals, skill sets, and schedules, we invite you to explore Karma Yoga opportunities at our beautiful Devi Sanctuary country retreat!
Karma Yoga is …
the joyful and intentional action of selfless devotional service … a path of self-study, purification, and an opportunity to commune with Divinity in the presence of like-minded people. Many spiritual organizations in the world over, from modern Yoga studios and traditional spiritual communities, offer a range of opportunities for individuals to do Karma Yoga service in exchange for food and shelter. Karma
Yoga provides opportunities for us to transform our day-to-day skill sets — the training, skills, and abilities that we often take for granted, and tasks we carry out on a regular basis devoid of a sense of purpose or joy — into meaningful, joyful, and purpose-filled devotional service.
Devotional service in a spectacular natural setting
Devi Sanctuary, home to Ayurveda Rituals Spa and Retreat is located in Northumberland County, 90 minutes east of Toronto by car. Our sanctuary offers eight sacred acres of natural forest peppered with devotional shrines, a creek, and woodland fauna and flora. Devi Sanctuary offers beautifully appointed accommodations, a dining room, and a guest lounge. Indoor and outdoor shrines and altars throughout the property provide serene and welcoming spaces for spiritual connection practices, meditation, and yoga.
We are just 5 minutes from Rice Lake’s Halstead Beach and the village of Bewdley to the north, and 15 minutes south to picturesque Port Hope, Canada’s most beautiful town, and Cobourg Beach, on the shore of Lake Ontario. Nearby is the Ganaraska Forest, and its popular hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails. Meditate, relax, commune with nature, and explore the many destinations of the region’s natural beauty, local antique stores, amenities, and lake-side activities during your stay.
Devi Sanctuary is a sacred space, a quiet, contemplative, intoxicant-free environment.
DEVI SANCTUARY KARMA YOGA WORK-STAY and WORK-TRAIN OPPORTUNITIES
