Tent Takedown- Help Drala Mountain Center Prepare for the Winter Season

September 21–28, 2025

Buddhist Path, Foundations Retreat, Meditation & Mindfulness, On Land Retreats, Volunteer Events


Welcome!

Tent Takedown is one of the most vital volunteer opportunities at Drala Mountain Center. We’re calling on those who feel drawn to nature, who want to step away from the noise of everyday life, and who feel inspired to support the operations that make this place thrive.

This week is all about closing our summer campgrounds. Your main tasks will include taking down tents and carefully storing furniture and supplies. Once the core work is complete, you may also help with landscaping and preparing the land to rest through the colder months.

You’ll also have the chance to join daily meditation practice, explore the land, engage in your own practice, and share warm, meaningful connection with our community.

Volunteer hours are from 10am – 4pm each day, with a lunch break in the middle. Outside of that time, your schedule is your own. All meals and lodging are included.

Orientation will take place on September 21st, and you will be asked to depart by September 28th, unless other arrangements are made.

Thank you for helping us steward this land with care and intention.
