VOLUNTEERING
Share Your Practice Through Service
Yogi jobs are a beautiful way to give back to the Sangha that supports the practice and offers a way to care for our shared home. Volunteering is not only practical support—it’s an opportunity to practice generosity (dāna), mindfulness, and connection while helping our community continue to thrive.
We’re seeking several volunteers to help with ongoing needs such as monthly house cleaning, yard maintenance, and event/retreat help. Even small offerings of time make a meaningful difference and help keep our Sangha Home welcoming, safe, and vibrant for everyone.
If you feel called to offer some time in this way, please email us at Sangha@salidasangha.org. Your participation truly matters, and we are deeply grateful for every helping hand.
We also host volunteer clean-up days where everyone is welcome to join in, connect, and share time together in a spirit of community and care. Dates vary, so please sign up for our newsletter or check our calendar to see what’s coming up.
“I hate pulling weeds,” I tell my friend. “Think of it as meditation,” he says. “These weeds are big and tough and have needly parts that poke into the skin and sting.” He says,“There is a lesson in that. Focusing on our actions usually means concentrating on the body, especially our gestures and postures. When we do that, everything seems to flow together and our minds settle into the moment.

“A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.”
