Nourishing Vegetarian Food:

We serve three simple, home-cooked vegetarian meals daily, using organic ingredients harvested directly from our gardens whenever possible. We cater for diagnosed medical food allergies (please inform us upon booking). Meals are eaten communally in our dining room or conservatory.

Simple, Peaceful Living:

Accommodation is clean, simple, and shared (dorms up to 6 people, separated by gender). A limited number of single rooms are reserved for medical needs. Bathrooms and showers are shared. 

Facilities & Grounds:

Guests have access to our Sadhana Hall for personal practice, our extensive spiritual library, tea-making facilities, and surrounding nature trails across the Welsh countryside. 

Karma Yoga is an essential pillar of ashram life. It is the practice of performing practical work with awareness, care, and an attitude of service (Seva), without attachment to outcome.

As a short-term guest, you will assist our departmental team for 4 to 5 hours per day. Tasks are practical and grounded—including vegetable harvesting, garden weeding, meal preparation, dishwashing, house cleaning, or minor estate upkeep . Far from being a chore, working with awareness helps quiet the mind, build focus, and integrate yogic principles into physical action.
