Location

In the foothills of the Monashee Mountains, Kripa Mandir Ashram is a working, certified organic farm where visitors experience an environment steeped in both self-remembrance and an exuberant work ethic. Experience a mix of yoga practice in a natural setting, daily meditation, karma work in the gardens/farm and a wholesome vegetarian diet.

You can get a glimpse of the sanctuary at: www.rasacreekfarm.com.
