Connecting with nature

If you are looking for a place where you really want to connect deeply with the nature and with an old samburu culture, Sadhana Forest is really amazing.
I learnt to plant food trees in hard condition climates, I found answers to climate change, sustainible nutrition and the most important in human unity.
Samburu people are welcoming you so friendly and the market every saturday is a nice opportunity to feel the nomad spirit, full of life and colors.
Thanks for Sadhana Forest Kenya to be.

Amazing!

Want to meet nice people, learn new things, eat delicious vegan meals and be close to the nature? You definitely have to go there!! I'm having a really nice time here and i'm learning a lot :-) we work 5 hours in the morning and in the afternoon we are free but sometimes there are workshops (méditation, yoga or whatever the volunteers propose) and you are free to go or not! Really Amazing and unique experience! Every thing is perfect :-)

Most beautiful place

This must definitely be one of the most special places I have visited in my life. I fell in love the moment I walked in. Tucked away in some huts in its (self planted) forest in rural India, lives a world wide community of volunteers, peacefully and harmoniously with each other and Mother Nature.
The vision of Sadhana Forest is a holistic one, much more than just planting trees, it tries to bring awareness to how we consume and our impact in all parts of life. This is not the theory, this is the practice. Here we realize we are part of nature and we can grow together with the forest. Moreover, you learn about veganism, natural learning, gift economy, permaculture and many more things!
It is part of the larger community of Auroville, a universal township for human unity and peace, founded 50 years ago, so there is always plenty of things to do and interesting people to meet.

community living

Living here in sadhana forest among individuals who come from different spheres all working for and towards the environment and having fun at the same time is amazing. Have been working in this afforestation project for a while now, in this beautiful community where we share many things such as culture, experiences in a compassionate way .
Glad to be here and volunteer at Sadhana forest, we have been through many eventful days, from waking up early morning to the wake up call- a guitar melody played by mithun and the dogs howling when we ring the bell at the morning circle. Waking to the symphony of birds, doing our community chores , discussions and debates in the main hut and of course cooking for self and the community.
life could not be more better than this. learning and growing with the forests and the people within!

Life changing experience!

If you want to do some voluntary work to help where it is needed - ecologically and socially - and are looking for an organization that is not profit orientated, which community is living VEGAN and eco-friendly, planting trees, educating on sustainability, encouraging compassion in all forms, enabling volunteers to discover different cultures in a safe environment, reducing waste wherever it's possible, supporting longterm instead of shortterm solutions and practicing an all-in-all conscious, natural and down to earth lifestyle – Sadhana Forest is the organization for you :)

What would you improve about this program?
This program can be improved by many more volunteers contributing with their individual spirits and serving this beautiful planet and its inhabitants in all shapes and forms :)
