Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about volunteering, retreats, and how we operate.
No! Our kitchen team welcomes volunteers of all skill levels. Experienced cooks provide guidance, and there are many tasks beyond cooking such as chopping, measuring, serving, and cleaning.
Shifts vary by role. Kitchen shifts are typically 2-4 hours, aligned with meal preparation times. You can volunteer for a single shift or commit to an entire retreat weekend.
All meals are vegetarian and include a variety of Indian dishes such as dals, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. We accommodate common dietary restrictions where possible.
Yes! Volunteers are encouraged to participate in retreat activities when they are not on duty. We coordinate schedules so everyone can enjoy both service and personal growth.
Kitchen planning tools require an account. Contact an administrator or reach out through our contact page to request access. You will be assigned a role based on your responsibilities.
Retreats are held at Sacred Grove, our dedicated retreat center. Specific location details are shared with registered participants and volunteers.
