News & Updates

Welcome Harrison Sayre to our AV Team - you are already doing a great job! Joining the Documentation team are Nancy (Purna) Chang, Newt (Yogeshananda) Sathyaseelan & Belle (Bhavani) Mann. Thank you! Ellan (Shanti) Catacchio is organizing our Photo Archives and we appreciate the help. Susan (Sattva) Daniel, Evy (Kalyani) Zavolas and Lynn (Gurupremananda) Cattafi are stepping away from their seva with Social Media, Documentation, and Photo Archives, respectively. We value the seva you've done for us.

Julia (Chintamani) Wallis is able to continue with our Thank You emails. Thank you! Lee (Leena) Bowman is lending her skillful help to our Guest Services, Facilities and Gardening Team. We are delighted you are jumping in to help with these areas

Open Sevas

We need help with several On-Site sevas, including our baking team and AV tech (we train you!). Online seva openings are all computer sevas, where you support from home. We train you for these as well.

Let us know if you're available: seva@svaroopayoga.org. You’ll hear from our Seva Coordinator, Denise (Devapriyaa) Hills. Thank you.
