Spring Seva Work Retreat 2025
With Naader Shagagi and Carolina Cotman
April 23 - 27, 2025
Seva, or “selfless giving,” is a path to self-realization and spiritual liberation. Through Seva, we transcend the ego, purify the heart, and align ourselves with divine will.
In our spring SEVA retreat, we will gather in the spirit of selfless service, dedicated to enriching ourselves and the Samaa Living Fellowship. Guests are invited to devote 4-5 hours each day in service to the fellowship, each other, and spirit, engaging in property improvements, repairs, clean-up, and meal preparation. Each participant will be assigned a role based on their skills or preferences. This year, our main project includes constructing and planting a 30-foot geodesic greenhouse!
In gratitude for your service, Samaa Living will provide lodging and meals. As with all our retreats, we will come together daily for yoga and meditation, Satsang, and sacred circles. Our focus is to nourish the soul through selfless service, share meals in community, and connect deeply with spirit through our shared devotion.
*A $50 fee helps us to cover the cost of coordinating and logistics.
