Four Concrete Ways of Helping
How to Help and Volunteer at Deer Park
There are several ways you can help support Deer Park.
-
Your Practice:
The
most important thing you can do for Deer Park is to be diligent about
your own practice. Deer Park depends on practitioners living
mindfully and transforming their compost into flowers. You can also
take opportunities to practice with and offer your presence to others
by joining a local sangha, attending retreats at Deer Park, and
joining us for regular Days of Mindfulness. Our society, and our
monastery, will benefit from the fruits of your practice—now and in
the future. Please remember to enjoy your mindful breath, your
peaceful step.

Sign up for Four-Fold Sangha Work Days
We occasionally have 4-fold sangha work days where we spend a Saturday morning working joyfully and harmoniously on a project that needs attention. If you would like to be notified about these, please Join our mailing list: Deer Park - Local Friends.
-
Be a Volunteer with Friends of Deer Park
If you would like to be involved on a deeper level with the care and maintenance of the monastery and live within traveling distance of the monastery, please consider joining one of our Friends of Deer Park families.
