Food
2 delicious vegetarian meals a day. We do our best to offer local farm fresh and or organic food whenever possible. There is a tea stall and fresh fruit stand open at all times. Children and adults with special needs get breakfast as well in the kids tent. The cooking is a karma yoga event in which people will have the opportunity to help cook and perhaps learn some new wonderful recipes! Traditionally we always have Saturday night as Indian food feast night! We have a fridge you can store small amounts of special food if you need to bring it. Our fridge space is limited.
Below we are cooking Potatoe Bonda balls for our annual Indian Feast.

“Volunteering moves us beyond the position of simply being a consumer of spirituality; we also become its servant. When you start to actually serve the thing that you’re taking in, it completes a circle. It’s a much fuller, more complete experience. It’s really healthy to be giving back.”
- Adyashanti
