Volunteering as Spiritual Practice

Assaya runs on 100% women volunteer power, in the spirit of Seva, the Buddhist path of selfless service offered with compassion and without expectation. Volunteering is not only a way to support the community, it’s a form of practice—nourishing both the sangha and the one who serves.

We depend on community members lending their time, expertise, creativity, and enthusiasm to accomplish all that we offer, and we welcome your help. It’s a great way to get connected and support the sangha.
