Experience the unique connection between physical work and spiritual practice in our Work & Spirit program.
The Gurudham Center is primarily built through the selfless dedication of volunteers. We offer you the opportunity to actively contribute to the development of the Gurudham Center while delving deeply into your spiritual growth. Through your efforts, you not only make a valuable contribution to the creation of our center but also practice Karma Yoga, the yoga of selfless service.
What is Karma Yoga?
Karma Yoga, the "yoga of action," is a path to purify the heart and overcome the ego through selfless action. Your time is one of the most precious gifts you can offer. By serving without attachment or expectation of reward, you cultivate humility, pure love, and inner freedom. Every action becomes a conscious offering to the Divine, giving your work a spiritual dimension.
What can you expect from Work & Spirit?
- Selfless Service: Support us with practical tasks at the center, such as maintaining the grounds, tidying or organizing spaces, repair work, preparing meals, or helping with event preparations. Your efforts help to further develop the Gurudham Center and strengthen our community.
- Spiritual Practice: Use your stay for intensive meditation, morning yoga and pranayama, as well as mindful centering and awareness during work.
- Experience Community: Work side by side with like-minded individuals in a supportive and inspiring atmosphere. Together, we create a space for growth and connection.
- Inner Progress: Through the practice of selfless service, you can release inner blockages, broaden your perspective, and experience deep satisfaction.

Long-Term and Diverse Support Welcome
Volunteer opportunities are not limited to short stays but can also extend over a longer period of time. If you wish to contribute in other ways, there are numerous opportunities to support the Gurudham Center. Beyond physical tasks, you can offer your skills in areas such as translation, communication, graphic design, community building and management, or developing and implementing new event formats (both online and on-site). Your contribution—whether creative, organizational, or technical—is a valuable cornerstone for advancing our center's mission of fostering spiritual growth and community connection.
