About Seva Weekends

We will hold Seva Weekends from now until Amma's programs on June 21-22nd.  The basic schedule for Seva Weekends is as follows, but may be subject to change. Please check the weekly newsletter for updates:

Saturdays - open/informal Seva time from 10am-2pm, for indoor/outdoor sevas. See list to be sent weekly for the specific help needed.  Please feel free to bring a bagged lunch.

Sundays - Seva from 11am-2pm, with opening/closing prayers and a few bhajans, and seva period in between.  Lunch will be available.

**Note: For any outdoor sevas, please plan to bring gloves, hat, reusable water bottle that can be refilled, and wear sunscreen, closed-toed shoes or boots, and insect repellent. Please remember to stay hydrated to avoid over-exhaustion! If you wish to come earlier in the day to do any outdoor sevas, please contact Vasishtha 1-2 days in advance.
