Reforestation Volunteer Program in Southern India

Sadhana is a reforestation programm which share many values important to me. I also experimented a community life with really amazing people from everywhere in the world and who share these values. Sharing, non-violence, solidarity, veganism, unschooling, compassion, tolerance... It's a place where I felt useful and I can be myself. So thank you Sadhana ! And thank you Luke for the mistakes ^^

Sadhana forest est un programme de reforestation qui partage des valeurs qui me sont chères et où j'ai pu expérimenté la vie en communauté avec des personnes vraiment incroyables et qui partagent ces valeurs. Partage, non-violence, solidarité, véganisme, unschooling, compassion, tolérance.... C'est vraiment un endroit où on se sent utile et où on peut être soi-même. Que vous parliez anglais où non c'est un bon endroit pour partager notre envie de faire partie du changement..

Spending time in Sadhana Forest is not only a voluntering, it's a amazing experience of life wich will brings you up. Here you learn so much...About planting tree, unschooling, zero waste, non violent communication, veganism, about yourself also. About a way of life more connected to nature. You get involved in a wonderful project and became an actor of change in the world.

The ritchness of this place is also the beautiful volunteers who make this project alive. All the new people you can meet and enjoy with, share love and spend magic moments all together.

Thank you Sadhana Forest for all.

I am unschooling my daughter in a city. Always been looking for an environment that is sustainable, diverse, ethical, humane and child friendly. And I think Sadhana is the answer to the quest. A beautiful place to get absorbed in. The best thing about Sadhana is the diversity of people who are here which makes the place vibrant. Having tbeen to a lot of alternative places I haven't found one with authority and free of judgments and mainly awesome food. The food that I would want to feed my children.

I have been in Sadhana Forest India for over 2 months now, and Sadhana Forest Haiti for nearly a year. This is not just a project to grow trees but to also grow people. Seeing how it has inspired myself and many people who visit to follow a far more positive, conscious and compassionate lifestyle, is great to see. A better world is possible and this place is definitely a large step in the right direction.

This place is a wonderful gem on this earth. Sadhana Forest is more than just the ecological restoration that is done there. It is the collection of all of the great efforts of so many volunteers and the persistent dedication of the Rozin family. The opportunity to volunteer here on a few occasions over the past 5 years has given me an amazing space for doing service, for building community and for having a place that I can always return to and feel at home. Every aspect of life here has been carefully thought through and tweaked over the years. The community is constantly evolving as new ideas are shared and the vision for intentional living becomes sharper and in greater focus. If you are in the area I can't recommend a visit highly enough.

Come and visit this beautiful project! I appreciate so much the care and coordination that goes into every aspect of life at Sadhana Forest. I learned so much about sustainable living, water conservation and how to successfully restore wildlife to a devastated piece of land. I've visited Sadhana Forest four times over the last 5 years and this place has become a home away from home. The core values of the project challenged me to be a more conscious consumer and to deeply consider what it means to live compassionately and to be a part of a community. I've made long lasting friendships and had the opportunity to grow so much as a person. You will not regret a visit to any one of the Sadhana Forest projects (India, Haiti and Kenya)

After three months at Sadhana Forest India I did not only feel home, I felt that I’ve arrived. I found out so many things about myself but also about India, planting trees, community life, compassion, animal care, ahimsa... Sadhana Forest is just amazing! They are growing a forest and a lot of people at the same time. The vegan food is so delicious and the spirit of this place is breathtaking. Thank you Sadhana for taking care of the planet.

If you are looking for a place to learn about reforestation and water conservation or a conscious living project to know more about recycling, reusing and reducing by conscious consumption of the natural resources available on the planet or to experience the compassionate and harmonious way of living in tune with nature or If you are really concerned about your environmental foot print on the planet, the wellbeing of every other beings and the future generations, this is right place to visit and stay! :)
