DDL Fall Volunteer Event: Harvest & Renew
Flexible Dates
Dear Friends,
Join us for volunteering, practice, and community at Dorje Denma Ling!
Each day will begin with meditation practice, followed by work alongside the staff, caring for the premises and the grounds, harvesting, and putting the garden beds to sleep while connecting with each other. Evenings will be about relaxing, conversations, reading, films, and maybe even, weather permitting, a campfire…
Come lend your presence and energy, share in community, and help Dorje Denma Ling complete the season with a glow.
Some of the activities:
Apple picking
Cooking (Applesauce, please!)
Garden final harvest and cleanup
Uplifting spaces
Trail work
Flower bed cleaning
Pavilion breakdown
… and more!
Who May Attend
All willing workers are welcome! There’s more than enough to do and jobs that will suit all talents and skills. Many hands make light and fun work.
